About a week and a half ago I spoke at Preston Trail's Marriage Conference on Mental Health and Marriage.

As I thought about this topic I kept coming back to a few essential things that I feel are at the core of this topic.

  1. we are wired relationally
  2. we are wired relationally around love and trust
  3. optimum mental health in a marriage is incumbent about the promotion of love and trust 

So in this episode I reflect on this topic, and I hope you find it helpful.

In this episode I talk with my good friend, Will Perry, who is the Lead Student Pastor at Hope Fellowship Church in Frisco, TX, which is a multi-site campus. 

I have known Will for almost 10 years and have loved watching him serve in youth ministry. He is one of the best youth pastors I have known, and I admire the way he engages not only youth, but his leadership and volunteers. 

In this episode we cover a lot of topics from being a student of your kid, to navigating social media, the challenges around sex in this culture, and how to create an ongoing, emotionally safe environment to engage your kids. 

I hope that you enjoy this episode and find it's content helpful.

In this episode I talk with my good friend and colleague, Michael Cox, who is a Licensed Professional Counselor, and contributor and instructor in the Restoration Therapy community that I am a part of. 

I appreciate Michael so much as a friend and colleague, and I admire the work he does with so many people, especially couples. 

In this episode we dig deep into marital work, and what typically brings couples into therapy, what helps them thrive, and where do they often get stuck. 

I hope that you enjoy this episode and find it's content helpful.

In this episode I talk with my good friend Nicole Zasowski, who is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and the author of several books: What if it's Wonderful, From Lost to Found, and Families and Forgiveness which she co-authored with Terry Hargrave.

In this episode we dig deep into anxiety and looking at it through the framework of the Restoration Therapy model.

I hope that you enjoy this episode and find it's content helpful.

In this episode I talk with my good friend Broc Jahnke, who is the Lead Care and Support Pastor at Hope Fellowship Church in Frisco, TX.

I wanted to have Broc in to talk about one of the ministries he specifically oversees -- ReGeneration -- which is a 12 step recovery ministry.

I finished going through ReGeneration near the end of 2023 after 48 weeks, and it's something I wanted to unpack more with him. Whether you know anything, or nothing about ReGeneration, or are just even curious about a recovery ministry, I encourage you to tune in.

I have been referring clients to ReGen for 10-12 years, and I finally figured it was time I went through it myself after needing to work through some painful issues in my own life, but in the context of community.
