  • Feelings, Emotions, and Spiritual Jiujitsu with Kennedy Straub

    Feelings, Emotions, and Spiritual Jiujitsu with Kennedy Straub
    2025/09/10
    If you have children, this episode is worth every minute. Kennedy Straub, Josh and Christi’s beloved daughter, joins the show to talk about how she’s learning to navigate emotions and feelings through the lens of an 11-year-old.

    In this episode, we continue season 6 on Relational Intelligence in Kids by talking about the difference between emotions and feelings. For example, did you know that emotions keep you safe and feelings keep you aware? Or that one of them causes you “to move” or take action?

    Kennedy also shares the tools she’s using to identify feelings and emotions in her life, what kids need from their parents in their uncomfortable feelings, and how her version of “spiritual jiujitsu” is helping her navigate those BIG feelings in prayer.

  • Raising Kids Outside the Matrix

    Raising Kids Outside the Matrix
    2025/09/03
    Make no mistake, we live in a matrix. And the bar set by Western culture for raising children is deceptively low. As parents, we do everything we can to give our kids an advantage. But is more parenting “knowledge“ really what we need? Are child outcomes really better today than they were 10 to 20 years ago?

    In this episode, we continue season 6 on Relational Intelligence in Kids by offering a new, yet ancient, paradigm for raising our children.

    25:00 How life and fruit can grow from our emotions

    A Child’s Longing for Safety and Presence

  • Relational Joy: Why You Need It and How to Grow It

    Relational Joy: Why You Need It and How to Grow It
    2025/07/16
    Think about the deep neurobiological connection happening in your brain as you walk into a room and encounter someone who lights up at your presence, and the fulfilling sensation of knowing that person is beaming from the inside out with only one message, “I am so glad to be with YOU!”

    Without relational joy, there is no relational intelligence. Instead, relational joy is the antidote to the numbing out of our hurried lives because you walk around with a sense of knowing you are seen and loved.

    As we continue season 5 on relational intelligence, Josh provides what he calls the “JOY STARTS framework”—four principles and corresponding practices spelling the word JOYS to jumpstart relational joy in your life and in the lives of those around you.

    Time Stamps:
    0:00 Introduction & Review of Season 5
    4:54 Moving from self-protection to experience life-giving relationships

    21:40 Our brains are built for connection - practices for sharing joyful moments
    25:02 You return to joy, not just peace - practices for redeemed conflict resolution and resilience
    30:51 Set rhythms of joy - practices for daily joy rituals

    How To Talk To Your Kids About Sex with Sam Jolman

    Sam Jolman says, “Talking to your children about sex should be likened to having 100 one-minute conversations.”

    As we continue season 5 on relational intelligence, therapist and author Sam Jolman joins us once again, this time to talk about how to help our kids script a narrative of romance.
