    56. Is Your Marriage Empty? You can move from frustrated to fascinated. With Jill and Mark Savage

    Are you feeling empty in your empty nest marriage? Have you experienced a slow fade regarding your feelings for each other? Would you like to move from being frustrated with your spouse to being fascinated? Jill and Mark Savage can help with that. If you are missing your wedding day connection and have turned into roommates instead of lovers and loving partners, this podcast is for you. It’s time to: Stay Curious Learn Each Other & Grow Together In the empty nesting years, many couples grow apart. Yet, it’s proven that couples that grow together stay together. But that isn’t by chance. It takes intention, commitment and leaning into to your Creator and to each other. Jill and Mark have been married for 41 years. Most of them were happy years. Yet, during their years of struggle, their hearts were miles apart. After navigating infidelity on Mark’s part, a dark year and a four-month separation, they put the broken pieces of their relationship back together and began to have different kinds of conversations. They dug deeper, listened better and learned more about fine-tuning the inside rather than symptom-treating the outside of their relationship.   Now, Jill and Mark are committed to helping other couples upgrade their marriages too. Listen in and learn how your marriage can be full and fulfilling – even in the empty nest.   To reach Jill and Mark: Coaching - Mark and Jill Savage     To reach Charlotte: Charlotte Guest

    53. Being Real > Being Perfect with Justin Davis

    It’s time for Christians to let go of pretending and enjoy a freeing, authentic relationship with Jesus and others. Are you tired of trying to be someone you’re not? Many of us spend a lot of energy—especially at church—trying to hide the fact that we’re struggling. We can’t share our problems, our sadness, our hurts and hangups and our sense of distance from God. In Being Real > Being Perfect, Justin Davis reminds us that God doesn’t heal what we don’t admit is broken. As he vulnerably shares his own story of redemption, Justin helps us understand:  ·        Why being real with ourselves, God, and others leads to peace and hope ·        How faking perfection robs us of the transformative power of grace ·        What the Bible says about insecurity and identity ·        Step-by-step ways to overcome our fear of being vulnerable  If you’re tired of trying to prove yourself, if you’re tired of wondering where the real “you” went, if you’re tired of knowing information but not experiencing transformation—discover the vibrant spiritual life you long for as you embrace the truth that being real is greater than you can imagine.   To reach Charlotte: Charlotte Guest  To reach Justin: RefineUs Ministries

    52. Mothers, Daughters & the Empty Nest

    Mothers, Daughters & the Empty Nest   What We Need From Each Other & What We Need to Offer   With Dr. Helen McIntosh and Charlotte’s Daughters, Kate and Cambri As empty nesting moms, we find ourselves in unique spaces and places. Many of us are doing life with our own parents and our adult daughters. Some of us have more time on our hands and some have less. As we pour out and love our families, we also must manage our own expectations and emotions. Listen in as Helen and Charlotte talk about: How healthy is our nest? And our relationships?   How can we moms offer more than we expect to receive?   How do we not set ourselves up for disappointment?   How can we release our expectations, yet share our hopes?   What do our girls need from us?   Leaning in and looking to Jesus to lead our days is the answer to most of life’s issue. Yet sometimes it is hard to surrender and let Him do so. How can we better do this? Seeing our daughters with the eyes of Christ certainly helps us understand their lives and needs. Charlotte likes to ask her girls, “How can I best love and support you these days? How can I be praying for you?   What else can we do as moms to love our adult daughters as we empty nest?   Thanks for joining us in this meaningful conversation,   To reach Helen: Our Mended Hearts with Blythe Daniel & Dr. Helen McIntosh   To reach Charlotte: https://charlotteguest.com

    50. Longing for More? with Kelly Needham

    Longing for More?  With Kelly Needham, author, and podcaster   What if the more we crave is not something we achieve but is something we receive?   Are you longing for more? Do you ponder your purpose? Listen in as Charlotte talks with author Kelly Needham about how we need to not be purposefooled. We hear that we were made for more. Yet our modern understanding of what it means to live a meaningful life can feel like a burden, not a dream. Kelly Needham explains the problem isn’t that we long for something more. The problem is what we believe “something more” is. We spend our lives chasing the verbs when we were meant to live for the Noun.   Kelly offers insights into: why our hearts long for a sense of purpose what the Bible says about true world-changers how to seek true greatness while embracing the ordinary how resting can accomplish more than producing & more As we recognize the source of our hunger for the extraordinary, we can more forward in freedom rather than feeling stuck in guilt or disappointment. We can discover how to build a purpose-filled reality without being purposefooled.   Let’s embrace the joy today that we always assumed was somewhere down the road.   Thanks for tuning in! Your time is valuable, and we appreciate your sharing it with us.   To reach Kelly: Jimmy and Kelly   To reach Charlotte: https://charlotteguest.com
