    Encore Episode (RE-RELEASE) - "I Do??" Yikes, Have I Made a HUGE Mistake?
    Oct 7 2025
    In our second most listened to episode, we share the "bad and the ugly" of the first few years of our marriage, talking about how our basic differences, plus unhealed wounds from our past caused major issues - explosive anger, broken trust, disrespect, and the resulting broken hearts that ultimately caused us to consider divorce. We talk about seeking counseling, and Jamie reveals a secret that she believes allowed us to "crawl out of the hole" we were in. We have recommended this episode to so many struggling couples over the last 2 months, we thought we would reprise this episode. If you are struggling in your marriage, and have lost hope that things could get any better, this episode is for you.

  • Hey ChatGPT! Why Is My Husband So Angry?

    Hey ChatGPT! Why Is My Husband So Angry?
    Sep 30 2025
    In today's episode, Brian and Jamie take a minute at the top to thank their faithful donors, to talk about the value in giving, even when one might think the gift insignificant, and how every little bit helps them do this important ministry. They simply do NOT want to say no, and because of your generous support, they don't have to!

    They then shift into one of their most favorite discussions so far - the interesting topic of couples using google or ChatGPT for marriage advice. We all use google searches multiple times/week, and more and more of us appreciate ChatGPTs ability to give us tons of information in seconds, at the snap of a finger! However, Brian and Jamie warn of using it for marriage advice, and how it can totally miss the root causes that underly the issues that you're asking about. They talk about not only the need for good, specific prompts, but the value that they provide as marriage coaches, knowing the right questions to ask to get to the heart of the matter, as well as the individual, personal attention that can help couples explore areas that they never knew needed exploring.

  • 60 Year Old Fossil Found In North Texas

    60 Year Old Fossil Found In North Texas
    Sep 23 2025
    What will your life look like when you're 60? It will sneak up on you WAY FASTER than you could ever imagine! (Can I get a witness from all the old farts out there?)

    In this week's episode, Brian and Jamie talk about how quickly Brian arrived at this milestone birthday, and what he has to show for it. They talk about how time flies, faster even than the cliche', and how important it is to set your priorities based on your highest values, and relentlessly pursue a life devoted to those priorities. For Brian and Jamie, it's all about family, and their 36 year marriage (and counting) is the foundational backbone upon which their legacy is being built. They wouldn't trade it for anything.

    They talk about his surprise in Broken Bow, and the binder full of love letters from family and dear friends - the best present he could ever receive.

    Thank you all for making this old fart feel really special! So, sit back, take some Geritol, gum some apple sauce, and enjoy this episode before your 8:30 pm bedtime!

  • State of the Union Address

    State of the Union Address
    Sep 16 2025
    Mostly at a loss for words, Jamie and Brian share their heavy hearts regarding their personal grief over the state of the world right now...yes, in regards to the collective reaction to the horrific, extremely public assassination of Charlie Kirk, but more widely, to the state of the human heart in today's world.

    Not wanting to make any political statements, or discuss "conspiracy theories," or deep dive into one of a hundred rabbit holes, they simply share their sadness over the hatred that has become so normalized, especially on and by social media platforms, and that has destroyed civility in this country and around the world. Yes, these are sad days, and they didn't just "arrive" out of nowhere. Not wanting to be insensitive to the victims or families of tragic murders that happen every day, they acknowledge that this is nothing new, and that it is just a symptom of a deeper societal issue(s).

    Join us as we pray for our nation and nations around the globe, and God, come heal our land!

  • Are You Cheating On Your Spouse...with your Hobbies?

    Are You Cheating On Your Spouse...with your Hobbies?
    Sep 8 2025
    Made you look!! Ok, so you may not be having an affair, or cheating on your spouse, but are you prioritizing your golf game, or your girl's night above your marriage? Do you ever have to use the term "kitchen pass" around your buddies? Have you "joked" with your girlfriends that you feel like a "hunting widow" every September through December?

    In this week's episode, Brian and Jamie discuss prioritizing your marriage above EVERYTHING ELSE. Although it takes some sacrificial living, and making some difficult choices, in the long run, giving your best to your marriage, your family, and your spouse will pay dividends like you could never believe.

    Be inspired this week to put your spouse first, and keep the main thing, the main thing!

  • Live to Work, or Work to Live?? Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go!

    Live to Work, or Work to Live?? Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go!
    Sep 2 2025
    Welcome back - and thank you for being here!! We missed you all. We're looking forward to Season 3, where we'll be sharing some more guest interviews, as well as some family/parenting content, as well as our usual marriage/relationship fare.

    In our first episode of the new season, we dive into the work-a-day world, why we work "40 hours a week," leaving little time for ourselves, our passions/hobbies, and the people in our lives that truly matter to us. What got us here, and is there a way out!? We discuss the temptation to think we're trapped, even if we want to work less hours, or spend more "me" time during the week, and the cynical, "yeah, easy for you to say" attitude. We challenge our listeners, (and ourselves) to become curious about the statement, "You don't have to live this way." Come along, and we hope you enjoy it.

  • Vivez la diffe'rence!

    Vivez la diffe'rence!
    Jul 21 2025
    We might sound like a broken record, but when it comes to issues that are problematic in marriage, none is more conspicuously at the top of the list these days than SOCIAL MEDIA, and our @#$% phones!! In today's episode, Brian and Jamie talk about the prevalence of "early divorce," throwing in the towel WAY too early, and how easy it has become in our current culture (not easy, as in not difficult emotionally, rather convenient). And what is leading many to be discontent, comparing their relationships or spouses to an on-line unicorn, is the addiction to social media, and the negative bias that we all have once we fixate on our differences.

    Brian and Jamie challenge us to "fast" from our phones and social media, for a pre-determined length of time, and to notice the positive changes in our lives, and in our marriages.

    Note - this will be our last podcast until the first of September. Enjoy the fast or the reruns, and we'll see you in the Fall! We love you all!

  • The Second Wife (It's Not What You Think)

    The Second Wife (It's Not What You Think)
    Jul 14 2025
    This week, Jamie, is inspired by a Ben Rector post, talking about a chance encounter with the owners of a newish restaurant in San Jose, CA, called The Second Wife, brings some thoughts about putting yourself out there, risking "failure," and what that risk can bring into the world. Although not crowded (like, he was the only one there) when Ben walked in, he thought about the passion of the owners who had previously meticulously laid out the silverware on each table, how the cooks in the kitchen were prepared, and even how the owner commented, "Oh, you'll LOVE that dish," after he had ordered.

    Brian and Jamie get into the divine, creative spark in each of us that is just waiting to be birthed into the world, and how many times, we may miss the opportunity to see God bring them to fruition, many times due to a variety of fears.

    Be inspired today to do the thing, write the book, start the business, record the content, make the phone call - do it scared!!!

    And as always, THANK YOU to our generous donors - we COULD NOT DO IT WITHOUT YOU!
