    How Affairs Start—and How to Protect Your Marriage

    What happens before someone crosses a line in their marriage? Sometimes the warning signs are quieter than we expect: looking forward to someone else’s attention, sharing things outside your marriage that you’ve stopped sharing with your spouse, or letting a busy season become a disconnected life. This week, we’re talking honestly about staying faithful and protecting your marriage. Gabby shares a personal story about recognizing an uncomfortable shift at work and bringing it into the open with Michael. We also talk about listening when your spouse raises a concern, setting boundaries, and making room to reconnect. In this episode:• Recognizing small compromises and emotional warning signs.• Having honest conversations before problems grow.• Taking your spouse’s concerns seriously.• Protecting time for prayer, conversation, fun, and intimacy.• Asking for help when you’re struggling to communicate. Our hope is that this conversation helps you notice what needs attention and take one practical step toward a stronger marriage.

    Why Your Family Needs the Dinner Table | The Power of Eating Together

    What if one of the most important things you could do for your family happened around the dinner table? In this episode of the House of Roberts Podcast, we're talking about why we believe the table is one of the most important places in the home — a place to connect, laugh, tell stories, build family culture, disciple your kids, and simply be together. But meaningful family dinners don't happen automatically. Busy schedules, sports, technology, work, and the everyday chaos of raising kids can slowly pull families in different directions. And even when everyone does make it to the table, it can be easy to sit together without actually connecting. We're talking about how to change that. In this episode:• Why the table has spiritual significance• What our own family dinners looked like growing up• Why you don't need a perfect dinner to create a meaningful moment• How to start small if your family rarely eats together• Why consistency matters more than creating a “perfect” family dinner• How sharing stories can help build faith and family culture• Getting your kids involved in cooking and serving• Why we've chosen to make the dinner table a priority in our own home We also share the story behind House Cards — something that actually began during one of the chaotic seasons of raising our four kids. One little stack of conversation cards completely changed a meal for us. The kids stopped squirming, everyone started talking and laughing, and dinner went from something we were enduring to something we were actually enjoying. That moment eventually became House Cards: 200 family conversation cards and riddles designed to help families connect around the table. Designed for your table. Made for your family.

    Were You the Sensitive Child? This Conversation Is for You

    Have you spent your whole life being told you’re too sensitive? Do you pick up on what’s happening around you, carry other people’s pain, or feel responsible for making everything better? After our conversation about raising a sensitive child, so many adults told us, “That’s me.” This week, we’re continuing that conversation for the grown-up who feels deeply and wants to know what to do with it. We talk about sensitivity, discernment, and learning to bring what we feel into prayer. Gabrielle shares a vulnerable story from an overwhelming season of motherhood, and we open up about how we’ve learned to value each other’s gifts through 17 years of marriage. In this episode, we discuss: · Bringing what you notice and feel to God before rushing to fix it. · Letting Scripture shape your response to your emotions. · Supporting a sensitive spouse through listening, prayer, and practical help. · Starting with small, sincere prayers in the middle of everyday life. Whether you see yourself in this conversation or love someone who feels deeply, we hope it helps you take a practical next step with God.

    When Your Wife Is Spiritually Ahead + When Your Child Has the Wrong Friends | Q&A

    What happens when a wife is spiritually ahead of her husband? How can a husband begin leading his family when he still feels like he’s figuring out his own faith? In this episode of the House of Roberts Podcast, we answer two questions from our audience. First, we talk honestly about spiritual leadership in marriage: why some husbands hesitate to lead, the simple ways a husband can begin, and how a wife can encourage him without comparing, criticizing, or trying to force the process. Then we get into a parenting question every family eventually faces: What should you do when another child begins negatively influencing yours? We talk about believing the best, helping children work through conflict, knowing when to involve the other parents, and recognizing when protecting your child may require changing a friendship. In this episode: • Why spiritual authority begins with submission to God• The simplest way a husband can begin leading• Why a husband doesn’t need to be 50 steps ahead• How wives can create room for their husbands to grow• When to step into your child’s friendship problems• Why we don’t immediately “go nuclear”• Choosing the stewardship of your children over protecting every friendship If this episode encouraged you, send it to a husband, wife, or parent who needs it.

    Feeling Like Roommates? How to Reconnect After Kids + Hold On Through Hard Seasons

    What happens when you love your spouse, love your kids… but somewhere along the way your marriage starts feeling more like a partnership for managing life than an actual marriage? In this episode of House of Roberts, we’re answering questions from you — starting with one we think a lot of couples experience after having kids: How do you keep from becoming roommates? We talk about why good things can still get out of order, how easily a marriage can become kid-centered, why continuing to date each other matters, and some of the simple rhythms we use to stay connected even when life is busy or money is tight. We also talk about something our kids are learning every time they watch our marriage: what it looks like for a husband and wife to actually enjoy, prioritize, pursue, and make room for one another. Then we tackle another big question: How do you stay faith-filled when you're walking through a hard season? Sometimes the answer isn't another five-step plan. Sometimes it's doing what you already know to do when you don't know what else to do — getting in the Word, praying, keeping your head, enduring, refusing isolation, and surrounding yourself with people who will truly pray for you. We also talk about: • Why your spouse should still come before your kids• Simple ways to keep dating when life is full• Why your schedule reveals what you actually value• Talking to your spouse instead of expecting them to read your mind• The marriage your kids are learning by watching you• Why feelings sometimes follow faithfulness• How to keep your head in difficult seasons• Why hard seasons don't get the final word• The power of having real intercessors praying for you• Why isolation gives the enemy room to work If your marriage has felt disconnected lately, you're walking through something difficult, or you simply need some encouragement to keep going, this conversation is for you. Welcome to our loud, crazy Christian home. We hope it encourages, equips, and inspires yours.

    We’re Struggling With Honor in Our Home—Here’s What We’re Doing About It.

    Your home already has a culture. The question is: Are you intentionally creating it, or simply allowing it to form? Recently, we started noticing more disrespect, harsh words, sibling conflict, and dishonor showing up in our own home. Instead of trying to fix everything at once, we decided to identify one thing and intentionally go after it. For our family, that thing is honor. In this episode, we're bringing you into what we're implementing in real time—from defining what honor looks like, to connecting it to Scripture, establishing clear consequences, and helping our kids learn to speak life over one another. We also talk about why family culture can't simply be imposed on our children. If we want them to live out a value, we have to be willing to ask whether we're modeling it first. In this episode, we talk about: Why prayer changes the way we discipline our childrenWhy correction and consequences are still necessaryHow unity impacts the culture of a homeWhy you shouldn't try to fix ten parenting issues at onceHow we're currently teaching honor through words and actionsThe practical consequences we're putting around dishonorWhy we use Scripture as part of both correction and formationWhy the values we want in our kids have to begin with usHow to build a home founded on the Word of GodWe're not sharing a perfect system or a finished formula. We're inviting you into something we're still working through in our own home. Our hope is that this episode helps you slow down and ask: What is the one thing God may be asking us to strengthen in our home right now? Welcome to the House of Roberts Podcast—a podcast where we bring you into our loud, crazy Christian home to encourage, equip, and inspire yours. Psalm 133:1–3Ephesians 6:1–3Romans 12:10Psalm 19:14Proverbs 29:11Matthew 5:9Matthew 7:24–27Matthew 12:34Luke 6:45James 1:22 We were pulling a few verses from memory in this episode and mixed up a couple references along the way 😅 The verses we were referring to are Matthew 12:34 / Luke 6:45 for “out of the abundance of the heart…,” Matthew 5:9for “blessed are the peacemakers…,” and Psalm 19:14 for “may the words of my mouth…” We wanted to make sure you had the correct references as you listen and study along.

    Stop Letting the School Year Run Your Family.

    The school year can bring helpful structure—but if we aren’t intentional, school, sports, homework, and activities can quickly begin controlling the rhythm of our homes. In this episode, Michael and Gabrielle talk honestly about navigating the transition back to school and protecting the things that matter most in the middle of a busy season. They share their family’s back-to-school tradition of worship, communion, prayer, and blessing their children—and why parents don’t need to be pastors or spiritual experts to create meaningful moments like these at home. They also challenge families to examine whether every opportunity is actually beneficial. Are our schedules strengthening our children, marriages, and family culture—or are they keeping everyone moving too quickly to stay connected? From protecting family dinners and creating regular check-ins with your spouse to evaluating what each individual child actually needs, this conversation is an invitation to stop letting the calendar make your family’s decisions. Michael and Gabrielle also share how they discern God-given ideas through time and prayer, why they are continuing to rethink what education could look like for their family, and how to recognize when God may be preparing you to make a change. You don’t have to overhaul your entire life this week. Ask the Holy Spirit to highlight one adjustment that could bring greater health, connection, and purpose into your home. God can do a lot with a little when that little is submitted to Him.
