The 2-Degree Shift That Changes How You Lead
What if becoming a healthier leader at home doesn’t require a major overhaul, but simply a two-degree shift? High-capacity leaders know how to solve problems, make decisions, and get things done. But the skills that make you effective at work don’t always translate at home. That’s because your greatest strengths, like your drive, capacity, and ability to fix things, can keep you from slowing down, listening, and connecting with the biggest fans under your roof. In this episode, Dr. Josh explores how small relational shifts can change the way you lead in your marriage and family. He also provides small, practical, two-degree shifts that can change the trajectory of your family and the atmosphere of your home. You don’t need a 90-degree turn. You just need two degrees. *Thank you to Bernhardt Watches for sponsoring this episode!

A major new study just dropped on faith transmission across generations — and Josh breaks it down. Drawing from Passing the Torch (Institute for Family Studies), decades of research by Vern Bengston on relational warmth, and John Gottman's data on repair, this episode answers the question we’re all asking as Christian parents: Will my kids keep the faith when they leave home? Josh not only covers the key research findings, but more importantly offers practical strategies and connects the dots between your own spiritual growth and the faith your kids carry into adulthood.*Thank you to Bernhardt Watches for sponsoring this episode!

Why Honor Still Matters in a Culture of Relational Cutoff
If you've ever wrestled with complicated family dynamics or wondered how to honor your parents or in-laws while protecting your own family, this episode will encourage and challenge you with a deeply biblical perspective. What does it really mean to honor your father and mother in a culture that often encourages us to walk away from difficult relationships? In this episode, Josh explores why honoring your parents doesn't mean denying your pain—but it does require a biblical perspective on love, boundaries, forgiveness, and generational legacy. In this episode, Josh discusses: How your children are learning from the way you treat your parentsWhy we've inflated words like toxic, trauma, and boundariesThe difference between honoring someone and enabling unhealthy behaviorWhy healing doesn't always require cutting people offThe power of reframing your family storyPractical ways to navigate difficult relationships with parents and in-lawsHow to discern between characterological versus circumstantial expectations of your parents / in-laws*Thank you to Bernhardt Watches for sponsoring this episode!

Why Good Parents are Raising Less Capable Kids with David Thomas
Parents today have more resources, information, and support than ever before—yet anxiety, fragility, and emotional struggles among children continue to rise. In this conversation, bestselling author and counselor David Thomas joins Josh to explore a difficult question: Have our good intentions as parents unintentionally gotten in the way of raising capable, resilient kids? Together they discuss:Why confidence grows from competence—not constant praiseHow over-helping can undermine a child's resilienceThe surprising connection between failure and emotional healthWhy happiness should never be the primary goal of parentingThe dangers of "rescuing" kids from every struggleHow healthy boundaries create securityWhat today's anxiety epidemic reveals about modern parentingWhy children need opportunities to struggle, fail, and recoverPractical ways to build capability at every ageDavid also shares one simple challenge every parent can implement this week to begin raising children who are resourceful, resilient, and prepared for life. If you've ever wondered whether you're helping your child too much—or how to raise kids who can thrive in an increasingly fragile culture—this episode is for you. *Thank you to Bernhardt Watches for sponsoring this episode!

The Emotionally Present Man
Most men were never taught how to be emotionally present. They were taught how to provide, how to perform, and how to push through. And for a long time, that felt like enough. But if you've ever come home after leading hundreds of people at work and felt completely lost in your own living room, you're not alone. This is why famous at home exists in the first place. In this episode, Josh discusses the tension men feel between the demands of their professional lives and the deeper call of their homes. Drawing on decades of research—including what one USC longitudinal study found is the single greatest factor for passing faith across generations—his own coaching work with high-capacity men, and two personal moments where he heard the quiet voice of God, Josh unpacks the three relationships every father must tend: with his wife, with his kids, and with Jesus. Whether you lead hundreds at work and feel lost at home, or you're simply trying to figure out what a present, emotionally engaged husband and father looks like in practice — this one's for you.*Thank you to Bernhardt Watches for sponsoring this episode!

Raising Future Legends: Kids Who Carry the Kingdom Everywhere They Go
We've been asking our kids the wrong question since kindergarten. "What do you want to be when you grow up?" confuses identity with performance, and Josh argues we've been setting them up for anxiety and false selves ever since.This episode reframes the whole parenting mission around the theme of Jesus's central message: the Kingdom of God. When kids understand their personal role in building for the kingdom of God, their identity stops depending on what they do, what they have, or what anyone thinks of them. It's a parenting paradigm shift that gives our kids a purpose bigger than anything the world has to offer.We also announce the launch of a brand new parenting platform for raising emotionally healthy and spiritually mature kids called Raising Future Legends.*Once again, thank you to Bernhardt Watches for sponsoring this episode.
