  • "Must Be Nice!" 4 Ways to Stop Keeping Score in Marriage

    "Must Be Nice!" 4 Ways to Stop Keeping Score in Marriage
    22 Oct 2026
    He’s up at 5AM thinking, “Must be nice to sleep in.” She’s thinking, “Must be nice to leave the house.” Sound familiar?

    In this episode, Dr. Josh unpacks how tired spouses start keeping score, and four practical ways to get back on the same team.

    Here are some key takeaways:
    • “Must be nice” is where scorekeeping starts.
    • When we don’t feel seen, we cope: sarcasm, martyrdom, attacking, or going silent.
    • Ask yourself: do I really believe this is their character? Usually, it isn’t.
    • Swap “you” for “we, us, our," and an "us-against-the-world" attitude.
    • Walk the tightrope of responsibility. Own your part without falling into blame or shame.
    • Name your opponents: kids, work, travel, in-laws, money, addiction. Bring them into the light.
    • Every day, say one moment you felt seen, heard, loved, or appreciated.

  • 6 Practical Ways to Build Joy: Present or Just Available?

    6 Practical Ways to Build Joy: Present or Just Available?
    15 Oct 2026
    Does your family experience you as present, or just available? Do you find yourself hoping joy will one day find you once things slow down? Dr. Josh gets practical about building joy into your days, weeks, and year: 30-second habits, celebrations, and what he calls "enthusiastic welcoming." This is part two of our joy series. Don't try it all. Pick one and start there. It's the two-degree shifts that make all the difference.

    Here are some key takeaways:
    • Joy is built relationally.
    • Numb the hard feelings and you numb the good ones too.
    • Receive, relive, remember. Don't just list what you're grateful for. Step back into the moment.
    • Microdose joy. Thirty seconds watching a bird or your kid's wonder counts.
    • Welcome your people like you're glad they're here.
    • Sabbath lets your soul catch up to your body.
    • Ask yourself: who needs to feel my delight?

  • Why We've Lost Our Joy (And Where To Find It)

    Why We've Lost Our Joy (And Where To Find It)
    8 Oct 2026
    For some reason, we inherently believe that joy is a byproduct of success. Yet, we finish the project, celebrate for five minutes, and move on to the next thing, waking up one day confused as to why the joy didn't seem to follow.

    In this epsiode, Dr. Josh shares why so many leaders and parents lose joy, and what joy really is: not a feeling or a byproduct of success, but a present-tense experience rooted in our trust in God. Where happiness depends on circumstances; joy depends on position.

    Here are some takeaways and highlights:
    • Ask: does my family experience me as proud of what they do, or delighted that they exist?
    • Screens keep us in the left brain. Relational joy lives in the right brain.
    • Gratitude has to be experienced, not just listed.
    • Your calendar is discipling you. What is it teaching you about joy?
    • How and why God scheduled joy.
