  • Overnighter and Goals
    2025/06/24
    Jesse and I recently had the chance to sneak away for a quick 20-hour overnight trip, and it ended up being exactly what we needed. With our busy schedules and the constant demands of parenting six kids, it's rare that we get uninterrupted time to truly connect and plan for the future, and this short getaway allowed us to do just that!Before we even left, we sat down and made a list of the key things that we wanted to accomplish - reviewing our goals, talking through some challenges we've been facing, and trying to map out what the next nine months might look like for our family (a time frame that, for the record, has nothing to do with pregnancy). Having that plan in place helped us make the most of our limited time away, having begun the trip by enjoying a nice dinner out, which gave us the space to have those important conversations.Listen in as we share the story, including how, the following morning, we headed to a local coffee shop (where we ran into several friends, much to my embarrassment since I hadn't even brushed my hair!), and over coffee, we were able to dive deeper into the practical steps we want to take to build our business around our family life and not the other way around. It was truly amazing how much we were able to accomplish in just 20 hours. We came back feeling refreshed, reconnected, and motivated.I feel so grateful that we didn't allow the short timeframe to hold us back, and this episode of the show will hopefully help remind you that sometimes you have to get creative to nurture your marriage, even if you can't take a full weekend away. I would, as always, love to hear from you! Reach out to let me know about how you have found ways to prioritize your relationship, even in the midst of busy seasons. What tips do you have for making the most of limited time together? I'm always looking for new ideas! In This Episode [00:35] - We have some exciting news to share - Silas now has a driver’s license! [03:13] - Getting his license helps simplify managing Silas’s jam-packed schedule of sports, friends, and constant movement. [05:32] - We discuss how, after a delay for insurance, Silas safely drove alone and proved himself a careful driver. [07:23] - Hear how I researched DMV strategies and chose the best day and time to avoid long waits. [10:22] - I reveal that arriving early on Tuesday paid off, with fast DMV service and successful ID and license processing! [13:33] - I talk about having to adhere to strict photo rules to renew my passport and hope to be fully licensed soon. [14:54] - We talk about our recent short getaway which offered meaningful reconnection and some much-needed rest. [16:15] - Hear how we created a written plan to stay focused without letting the time feel like work. [18:33] - Planning an ABC date night brought structure, clarity, and joy to our short getaway! [21:03] - We discussed nine-month goals which will help us prioritize needs and communicate more clearly as a couple. [23:27] - Jesse and I discuss how people so often prioritize work over life, sacrificing needs and identity in a work-centered society. [25:50] - I am aiming to shift from overworking toward building business around life, not the other way around. [28:13] - With all six kids in school soon, we discussed how to use our new free time. [30:39] - We reflect on how caretaking responsibilities for David lingered on our trip, but we did finally get some restful sleep. [33:22] - Even though our time away was limited, we set goals, made a plan, and truly reconnected. [35:59] - I strongly encourage intentional living, not “balance,” and I invite listeners to share marriage and work-life strategies!

  • 305: The Devil’s Subtle Strategies: What We Miss When We’re Distracted (with Tilly Dillehay)
    2025/06/10
    So many of you have told me you loved Tilly's clever and quirky new book My Dear Hemlock, a book written in the voice of a demon mentor coaching her underling on how to derail a Christian woman’s walk with God. Taking inspiration from The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis, Tilly’s version is tailored to the specific struggles that Christian women face today - frustration in marriage, social media distractions, pride disguised as virtue, and the slow drift that can happen in daily family life.We talked about how the fictional format of the book gave Tilly room to say the hard things that are so easy to sidestep when we’re just trying to get through the week. She shares what it means to see homemaking not as a list of chores but as a sort of battleground on which small choices have big consequences. We also explore the temptation to fixate on a spouse’s flaws instead of tending to our own spiritual health as well as why that is so spiritually dangerous.Tilly doesn’t just offer observations; she imparts deeply practical wisdom, things like how to build upon gratitude when your first impulse is annoyance, how to recognize when the enemy is whispering half-truths, and why community and prayer aren’t just helpful but essential. This episode will be sure to challenge you, encourage you, and make you think twice the next time that you scroll through Instagram or silently stew over a spouse's mistake.In This Episode[0:36] - I welcome Tilly Dillehay, author of My Dear Hemlock, to the podcast for this episode![1:15] - Tilly reveals how the book came to fruition.[3:30] - Hear how writing a fictional book helped Tilly express real-life marital struggles and spiritual challenges that Christian women face.[6:03] - Although not from a charismatic tradition, Tilly finds value in acknowledging Satan’s real influence.[7:28] - I stress how small annoyances are spiritual battlegrounds on which we choose our response.[10:57] - Women's imaginative power can harm relationships if misused as criticism instead of praise.[12:07] - I warn against magnifying minor flaws in loved ones.[14:08] - Tilly advises cultivating daily gratitude instead of scrutinizing a spouse’s faith.[17:29] - By gently initiating nightly prayer, it's created deeper connection and communication in marriage.[18:34] - Many marriages unfortunately fall apart from unspoken contempt that could’ve been avoided with small, daily kindnesses.[21:34] - I point out how the media distorts women’s expectations and how prayer often gets derailed by distracting thoughts.[22:30] - Tilly suggests praying with others and using scripture as structure for focused prayer.[25:02] - Instead of promising prayer and then forgetting, Tilly prefers to pray immediately and let people know that she just did.[28:36] - Tilly disabled Safari on her phone entirely because phones are ultimately designed to steal time.[30:37] - Distractions vary per person; mine was audio, while a friend’s was compulsive online shopping.[32:24] - Tilly asserts that homes are spiritual battlegrounds and that women play a key role in their power.[35:55] - Tilly advises beginning with prayer and learning from godly women whose homes reflect familial, not material, richness.[36:54] - Neglecting prayer and community can ultimately open the door to spiritual vulnerability.Links & ResourcesCrystal PaineTilly Dillehay’s Home Fires PodcastBooksMy Dear Hemlock by Tilly DillehayThe Screwtape Letters by C.S.

  • 304: Marriage License Mayhem: Our Wild Ride Trying to Get a Real ID License
    2025/05/30

    We had to sit down and recount this story since it sort of went viral on Instagram and I got thousands of messages and comments and emails about it!

    A few weeks ago, we accidentally stumbled across something totally unexpected – that we may not have actually been legally married for the past 22 years! That's right! Listen in as Jesse and I fill you in!

    It all started with a passport - or rather, the lack of a current one. I was prepping for a trip to Colorado Springs for some filming and radio interviews when we realized that my passport had expired and that the window to renew it was way too tight. The backup plan was to try to get a Real ID, which turned into a long, chaotic day at the DMV, but the DMV line wasn’t even the wildest part.

    While confidently presenting my organized folder of documents (thanks to Jesse), I was told that our marriage license wasn’t valid because it wasn’t the right kind. Apparently, what we’ve had all these years was just the signed license from our wedding, not the certified marriage certificate with the state seal. We had used that same document to change my name, get a driver’s license, even get passports, but now, we weren’t so sure someone ever mailed the signed license back after our wedding like we were supposed to.

    The more we pieced it together, the more we realized what had actually happened, and we hope that you'll join as we walk you through this hilarious story of minor panic and the weird legal questions that come along with the realization that you might not actually be legally married... more than two decades after the wedding!

    In This Episode


    [2:24] - Jesse and I are sharing how we recently discovered that our marriage of 22 years might not have been legally recognized!

    ​​[3:37] - I nearly missed a trip due to delays getting a Real ID required for flying.

    [6:43] - A week before traveling, I found that my passport hadn't been renewed like she had believed.

    [8:44] - I realized that there was unfortunately no way to get my passport renewed in time for my trip, meaning that I had to get a Real ID.

    [10:53] - Despite an estimated 15-minute wait time, I actually spent nearly two hours just to reach the DMV desk.

    [14:05] - Hear how DMV staff revealed that our marriage license wasn’t valid without an official state seal.

    [18:04] - Jesse realized that we likely never filed the marriage license, so no certificate was ever issued.

    [18:45] - I began to worry that Jesse and I were never legally married due to paperwork mishandling.

    [20:32] - Hear how we anxiously submitted an expedited request, unsure if Kansas even had our marriage certificate.

    [22:15] - I came to realize that many other people have also mistaken a license copy for a valid marriage certificate.

    [24:35] - Hear how we learned that there's a difference between a marriage license and a certificate with a raised seal.

    [27:20] - The official certificate finally arrived, relieving us and allowing me to finally apply for my Real ID.

    [29:52] - I found it funny that this rare paperwork error came from Jesse, since he is usually the more detail-oriented one!
