In a world where distractions are endless and culture constantly pulls us in different directions, it’s more important than ever to remain intentional in your marriage and parenting. Brook and Elizabeth Mosser, alongside Phil and Diane Comer, invite you into a conversation about biblical formation — offering wisdom, encouragement, and practical tools for raising passionate Jesus followers. As an intergenerational team that is also family, we bridge the perspectives of different life stages, drawing from both decades-long experience and fresh insight on the topics of parenting and marriage. From vulnerable Q+R sessions to insightful guest interviews, we explore real-life stories of both steady formation and radical transformation — unpacking how God is shaping our lives and the lives of those around us. Join us each week as we pursue God’s design for life, marriage, and parenting — with intention.

Anger, triggers, and being at your wit's end
Episode 96
mercredi 24 août 2022 • Duration 01:17:50
Today we are covering the topic of one of the eight primary emotions, anger. Anger reveals what matters to us- both good and not good. Anger becomes a warning signal, compelling humble people to look inside to identify what emotion they are experiencing and why. Fear? Hurt? Sadness? Resentment? Anger is possibly the most important feeling we experience as emotional and spiritual beings because it is the first step to authentic living. It shows our yearnings and hunger for life. We will also cover five ways to start working on being aware of your anger and how to live in the power of the Spirit. Enjoy!

Are the various gender roles in marriage just cultural constructs? What is the purpose of the different roles in a marriage, and what does the Bible say about it? Part 4 (Wives)
Episode 93
mercredi 20 juillet 2022 • Duration 44:21
Ladies! Today is for you. We are wrapping up a mini-series on gender roles in marriage. Elizabeth, Brook, and Diane cover what a woman’s part is in marriage from a biblical perspective. We cover the foundational terms of the Hebrew word “helper” (Ezer). We talk about the dance that wives and husbands play and how to live them together. We also cover the six questions for self-exam, which are: 1. Am I cultivating a life that has space to become the type of woman Proverbs refers to? 2. Am I relying on my own power or the power of the Holy Spirit to be a Godly wife, mother, and disciple? 3. Am I begrudgingly giving my husband respect because I don’t think he deserves it? 4. Have I willingly accepted my God-given role as a partner with my husband? 5. Am I continuing to develop the gifts and passions God has entrusted to me? 6. Are you trusting God with what you can’t control, fix, or understand? Enjoy

Are the various gender roles in marriage just cultural constructs? What is the purpose of the different roles in a marriage, and what does the Bible say about it? Part 2 (Husbands)
Episode 91
mercredi 29 juin 2022 • Duration 01:05:44
We are continuing a mini-series on gender roles in marriage. Today Elizabeth, Brook, and Phil cover what a man's part is in marriage from a biblical perspective. We cover six things that husbands need to be aware of and focus on in their God-given role and so much more. The six things are 1. Are you serving your family currently? 2. Are you teachable? 3. Does your schedule indicate that your family is a top priority in time, energy, and focus? 4. Are you taking the initiative to lead your wife spiritually by sharing the things God is teaching you? 5. Are you a good listener? 6. Are you accepting equal responsibility for the children? Even if your wife is better at some aspects of parenting, your children are your responsibility. Your wife needs a partner who willingly shares the load with her. Enjoy!

Episode 90
mercredi 22 juin 2022 • Duration 55:25
Today we are starting a mini-series on gender roles in marriage. Recently Brook was asked to do a teaching on the topic of gender roles in marriage, and this launched us into the idea of talking more about the subject. We all have different expectations coming into marriages, whether from media, our family of origin, or even our other friend's marriages. We will cover what did God initially intended for gender roles in marriage? How have men and women corrupted that good? What has Jesus done to redeem gender roles? We will also cover six questions for husbands to ask themselves and six questions for wives to ask themselves to see how this is playing out in their marriage. Enjoy!
