What does “family first” actually mean in today’s culture? In this episode of This Is Real, the conversation gets honest about how easy it is for families to build their lives around sports, schedules, success, and busyness while slowly pushing God to the side. This isn’t about being against sports or extracurricular activities. It’s about priorities. Is Christ truly at the center of the home, or is He only getting what’s left over? This conversation dives into: • Why discipleship starts in the home • Sports culture and Sundays • Parenting with biblical values • The danger of busyness replacing discipleship • What real “family first” looks like A powerful and necessary conversation for parents, leaders, and families trying to keep God at the center in today’s world.

You Knew better, so why are you mad | Ep. 421

What happens when you keep ignoring the truth you already know? In this episode of This Is Real, Stephanie and I have a real conversation about accountability, consequences, relationships, and why so many people keep repeating the same cycles. We talk about why people say they want accountability but really want agreement, how emotions can become louder than wisdom, and why not every hard season is spiritual warfare; sometimes it’s the result of the choices we made. From red flags in relationships to discipleship, surrender, and personal responsibility, we unpack why people ignore truth, blame everyone else when things fall apart, and struggle to receive correction from the very people they asked to lead them. This conversation is honest, challenging, and for anyone tired of repeating patterns, ignoring red flags, and wondering why life keeps falling apart.
