From Exhausted to Rested: 5 Shifts Families Long For
Do you live in a perpetual state of rest with exhausted moments, or do you find yourself living in a perpetual state of exhaustion with restful moments? In Season 3, we’re looking to move “Beyond the Matrix,” asking the hard questions about how we lead our families. Unfortunately, for many families, a chorus of words seem to ring out of what people today long for, but can’t seem to attain. The word we cover today is “rest.”This episode is the first of 5 familial shifts we’ll be talking about as we continue to ask the question: “Why are we doing what we are as families?” Time Stamps:0:00 Introduction1:30 Living in survival mode versus longing for more7:25 What it means to live in “restedness”12:48 How exhaustion keeps us in a state of delayed joy17:55 Internally moving to a base line of rest26:22 Breaking through exhaustion in your marriage28:08 How to give your exhaustion to God in prayer29:47 The Genesis 1 paradigm for living in daily and weekly rest33:08 Practices for a state of restedness Show Notes: Men, interested in The Field Experience?

A 150-Year Review on the State of Today's Family
There have been some major societal, socioeconomic, cultural, and technological shifts over the past 150 years that have changed not just family structure, but who our children are becoming. In this episode, we ask the question: Is what culture is giving us right now beneficial for our family? In Season 3, we’re looking to move “Beyond the Matrix,” asking the hard questions about how we lead our families. In episode 2, Josh takes a 30,000 foot view of the changes throughout the last 150 years in the Western world and the corresponding changes in family structure and child outcomes.

Moving Your Family Beyond the Matrix
Whether you realize it or not, you’re living in a matrix that shapes how you think, feel, and live your life. And your family, for better or worse, is along for the ride. Welcome to Season 3, what we’re calling, Beyond the Matrix. In this episode, we challenge you to ask one question: Why are you doing what you’re doing as a family? More specifically, who, or what, is shaping the decisions you make? Do you know why you’re making the decisions you are? Have you ever thought about flipping things upside down and going against what’s “conventional” for our day and age? We take a listener question that, though may not be your circumstance, applies to many of us who feel stuck in how we lead our families.

7 Ways to Transform the Heart of Your Family
This is one of our most foundational and transparent episodes. We took the 7 things that have transformed the heart of our family the last number of years and expounded on each of them in a detailed way to help you understand the “why” behind these decisions and how they can change the direction of your family.We certainly don’t expect you to implement all 7 of them today, as this is a yearslong journey. However, find the one that most resonates with you right now. Which of these will most move the needle in your family if you were to implement it today? The only way to bring the heart of your family alive is to take permission and choose to lead differently from what our individualistic and rat-racing culture imposes on you.Time Stamps:0:00 Introduction4:00 Your family as a “living letter”7:00 How we came up with the 7 ways8:02 What helps you show up as the best version of you?14:58 Evaluating the family schedule20:59 How to establish family rhythms that serve your family26:00 Giving kids responsibility35:23 How screen time influences your family and what to do about it43:53 Who are the life-giving people you’re surrounding yourself with?51:07 Your family as a hospitable “living letter” to those around you55:24 Your most useful takeaway for transforming the heart of your family Show Notes: Order a copy of the Famous at Home book to put your family center stage.
