In this episode of Still Figuring It Out, Josh and Britt have an honest conversation about stress, frustration, and how easy it can be to take our bad days out on the people we love most.

Josh opens up about realizing that when he was uncomfortable, overwhelmed, or frustrated, he sometimes became short-tempered with his kids, even when they had done nothing wrong. That leads to a bigger conversation about recognizing when we’re reaching our limit, taking a moment to reset, and learning to respond instead of react.

The guys also talk about parenting, marriage, giving your spouse time to recharge, work, life’s everyday frustrations, and why sometimes the people closest to us end up receiving the worst version of us.

The episode eventually takes a deeper turn into faith as Josh and Britt discuss God’s will, unconditional love, and why they decided to start ending the podcast with Scripture.

This week’s verse is James 1:19-20: “Everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger, for man’s anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness.”

Sometimes the person we’re angry with isn’t really the problem. Sometimes we’re just tired, stressed, uncomfortable, or overwhelmed. The challenge is recognizing it before we take it out on someone else.

We’re still figuring it out.

We appreciate y’all listening. If you got something out of this, share it with someone who’s still figuring it out too. We’ll catch y’all next time.
