In this episode of Living with Boundaries, we tackle a question every parent will eventually face:

When is the right time for our kids to get married?

Is it better to marry young and grow together?
Or wait until careers are established and maturity is fully developed?

Josh and Matt take different positions in this conversation, referencing the book Outdated: Find Love That Lasts When Dating Has Changed by Jonathan Pokluda*, and unpack how modern dating culture has shifted expectations around commitment.

We explore:

• Cultural pressure to delay marriage
• The risks of marrying too young
• The risks of waiting too long
• Emotional, financial, and spiritual readiness
• What boundaries parents should set — and which ones they shouldn’t

This isn’t about controlling our kids’ timelines.

It’s about raising men and women who are spiritually grounded, emotionally healthy, and ready to build covenant marriages that last.

Strong families don’t happen by accident.
They’re built with intention — and boundaries.

Life doesn’t always go the way we plan. Sometimes hardship shows up out of nowhere. Other times, we’re walking through something because of our own choices.

In this episode of Living with Boundaries, Josh and Matt talk about the crummy things that happen in life — the setbacks, the consequences, the disappointments — and how we respond to them as men, husbands, and dads.

• What do we control?
• What do we own?
• What do we surrender?

Hardship can harden us… or shape us. It can expose weak boundaries — or help us build stronger ones.

This episode is about responsibility, resilience, and trusting God in both the storms we create and the ones we never saw coming.

Because living with boundaries doesn’t mean avoiding hardship — it means walking through it the right way.

Youth sports can be a great gift — but when practices, games, and travel start driving every decision, something else often gets pushed aside.

In this episode, Josh and Matt talk honestly about the time demands of youth sports and how easy it is for dads to unintentionally let schedules replace priorities. They challenge us to rethink what we’re saying “yes” to, and where we may need to put up boundaries to better prioritize God, church, marriage, and family.

This conversation isn’t about quitting sports — it’s about leading with intention, setting the line, and choosing what truly matters in the long run. For dads who want to live their faith out at home, this is a call to slow down, refocus, and keep living with boundaries.
