Ep. 365: The Power of Pre-Deciding
**Be sure to check out our new discussion guide to help you make the most out of this episode. Download it here.
Research shows that the average adult makes over 35,000 decisions every day! We make a lot of choices, and many of our choices have a compounding effect as we repeat them day after day. Other choices are not as important but drain our energy. This week Jay shares insights on the power of pre-deciding in seven areas of your life that will have tremendous compound interest. Listen as Jay explains why you should:
1. Pre-decide when you are going to have your time with God each day.
2. Pre-decide when you are going to bed and when you are going to wake up as a normal habit.
3. Pre-Decide your default meals for breakfast and lunch.
4. Pre-decide your days and time to be a part of the church
5. Pre-decide your date nights
6. Pre-decide family dinner nights
7. Pre-decide to be proportionally generous

Ep. 364: The Fruit of the Spirit with Dr. Don Love
**Be sure to check out our new discussion guide to help you make the most out of this episode. Download it here.
What does it mean to walk in the Spirit and live in the Spirit? This week I am joined by Dr. Don Love for a walk through Galatians 5 and a discussion of the Fruit of the Spirit in the life of a believer. We talk about how to discern the will of God in your life, ways that the Lord might be speaking to you, and the importance of the statement “God’s will is found in God’s Word.” You will learn the difference between the gifts of the Spirit and the Fruit of the Spirit and how this understanding can be transformational in your marriage and parenting. Finally, Don leads us in a time of prayer to seek the Lord’s guidance on each aspect of the Fruit of the Spirit in our own lives.

Ep. 363: Parent Differently with Dr. Kathy Koch
**Be sure to check out our new discussion guide to help you make the most out of this episode. >> https://bit.ly/3Hilh2R
Character changes destiny, and character changes culture. Dr. Kathy Koch helps define the core character qualities we want to instill in our children to help them honor Christ, even when no one is looking. As we learn to parent for character instead of outward obedience, we begin to raise children who will change their culture.
Listen today as Jay and Dr. Kathy discuss:
• The definition of character, and the vital importance of training for gratitude, joy, and self-efficacy.
• How to cast vision in your children to be culture changers instead of just rule followers.
• The definition of joy and the dangers of comparison and unrealistic expectations.
• The way technology teaches us to live entitled and the wisdom of limiting choices.
• Why “choice” is one of the most powerful words a parent can use.

Ep 361: How I Set and Achieve Goals
The beginning of a new year is a great time to think through resolutions, habits, and goals. Today Jay takes you far beyond setting resolutions that will likely fail by February. He walks through his process for starting with determining your specific goals for five aspects of your life: Spiritual, Family, Professional, Financial, and Physical. Once you have determined “who you want to be”, Jay walks you through how to set multi-year goals and then determine the steps for this coming year.
Many of our plans will fall short. We will constantly encounter new opportunities, calamities, and circumstances that will change our ability to achieve specific goals. But if we have a solid vision for who we want to be over the course of our life, God tends to do far more in and through us than we would ever imagine!

Customer Reviews
Incredibly helpful for Christian parents
Jay makes great content for Christian parents. I find so much help by listening to him and his guests.
Outstanding Speaker and Relative Content
I have been listening to podcast for a while ranging from many different types of topics. I will say Jay produces a 5-start podcast with information that is very useful for parents raising kids in a challenging world.
The topics are spot on and the content is easy to apply and understand. I enjoy the guest he has on the show and his conversation with them makes me feel like I am sitting in the room with them during their conversation.
I encourage parents to listen in weekly to guide them during these tough years of raising kids.
Never too late to start
As an aging woman, I am now listening to my first podcast at 68. Wanted to listen to a friend whom I admire, respect and is a man of God. His information in this episode is life changing for me. Never to late to learn. If used, and even realized, (we already have systems and habits, learning to combine them is key) voila! A must listen.
