Are we overwhelmed, underwhelmed… or is there a better way?

In this episode, we sit down with Alan Briggs—coach, author, and founder of Stay Forth—to unpack the tension we all feel between exhaustion and disengagement. From sabbaticals to daily rhythms, Alan shares what it means to live a “whelmed” life: not redlining, not coasting, but being fully present to what God’s uniquely called us to. We explore how clarity, courage, and co-designing our lives with God can lead to deeper freedom and impact. This conversation will challenge the lies we believe about leadership, pace, and purpose—and offer a new vision of health rooted in grace and intention.

What if you’re chasing the wrong win?

In this episode, we sit down with John Olinger—former Nike exec, leadership coach, and author of Worthy Wins—to unpack what it means to succeed in the areas that matter most. From high-stakes marketing at Nike to the raw wake-up call of losing his father, John shares how redefining success radically reshaped his life.

We dive into his "worthy wins" framework, explore the tension between work and relationships, and talk practically about how to reverse-engineer your life toward what truly counts. Along the way, John offers deeply personal insights about marriage, fatherhood, spiritual formation, and a legendary Kobe Bryant lesson that mirrors the way of Jesus.

This episode is an invitation to name what matters—and live like it does.

What if the biggest transformation starts at our own dinner table?

In this episode, we sit down with our friend Janet Newberry to unpack how grace-based living shapes not just education but the very heart of family. We explore what it means to “practice the art of being family,” and how atmosphere, discipline, and life can form a discipleship model that heals generations. Janet shares stories from the frontlines of parenting and education—reminding us that our kids don’t need perfect parents, just growing ones. Together, we ask deeper questions about behavior, identity, and how to create homes rooted in safety, love, and formation.

Whether you're raising toddlers, teens, or just learning to rewrite your own story, this conversation offers hope and practical tools to build the kind of home where everyone can breathe, belong, and become.
