    FAITH PATH: DISCIPLING YOUR KIDS AT HOME

    In this solo episode of the Relatable Parenting Podcast, Josh reflects on last week’s conversation with his parents, Jim and Tomoko Gane, and unpacks the wisdom-filled parenting values that shaped his upbringing—especially the memorable “Jim-isms” that emphasized responsibility, resilience, faith, and character. From phrases like “Be well, be right” to lessons on handling life’s unfair moments, Josh shares how these simple, repeatable sayings left a lasting imprint and continue to influence how he and Priscilla are raising their own kids today  Josh then dives into a new parenting and discipleship initiative at their church called Faith Path, a practical framework designed to help parents take the lead in nurturing their children’s faith at home. He walks through the three core rhythms—daily, weekly, and routine—highlighting how small, consistent habits like prayer, age-appropriate Bible engagement, church involvement, and intentional family time can shape a Christ-centered household without overwhelming busy parents. This episode is especially encouraging for moms and dads who want to be more intentional about faith-based parenting but aren’t sure where to start. With relatable stories, realistic expectations, and actionable ideas, Josh reminds parents that progress—not perfection—is the goal, and that discipleship is meant to be woven naturally into everyday family life. 00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 00:56 Recap of Last Week's Episode 02:05 Parenting Wisdom from My Parents 07:22 Introducing Faith Path at Crosspoint 10:04 Daily, Weekly, and Routine Discipleship 19:45 Faith Path Themes and Resources 22:02 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Follow us on socials: Instagram Sign up for our newsletter!

    WORDS TO LIVE BY AND PARENTING WISDOM FROM JIM AND TOMOKO GANE

    What actually sticks with kids as they grow up? In this special guest episode of the Relatable Parenting Podcast, Josh and Priscilla sit down with Josh’s parents, Jim and Tomoko Gane, to unpack the family sayings—“Jimisms”—that shaped five sons, strong marriages, and a faith-filled home. From “Be well, be right” to “Show me your friends and I’ll show you your future,” this conversation explores how simple, repeatable phrases can form a child’s conscience, guide decision-making, and build character that lasts into adulthood. Jim and Tomoko share honest reflections on parenting through different seasons, why the hardest work happens between ages zero and ten, and how discipline with an eye on the future differs from punishment in the moment. They also dive into family values, leadership, friendship choices, faith formation, and what it looks like to raise kids who don’t just comply—but truly own their beliefs.

    HOW WE HANDLE CONFLICT WHEN WE’RE EXHAUSTED

    The holidays are over, the kids are back to routine, and the exhaustion is real. In this episode, Josh and Priscilla kick off 2026 by talking honestly about how conflict shows up when you’re tired—especially in marriage and parenting. From passive-aggressive comments to shutting down, over-communicating, or avoiding conflict altogether, they unpack how exhaustion changes the way we respond to each other and why fights tend to flare up when we’re running on empty.  They share personal reflections on their own conflict styles, how those patterns shifted after becoming parents, and what actually makes things worse versus what truly helps in the moment. You’ll hear practical insights on why advice isn’t always helpful when emotions are high, how taking space can be healthy, and why learning your partner’s stress signals matters more than “winning” an argument. This conversation is for parents who love each other deeply but feel stretched thin. Whether you’re navigating sleep deprivation, mental overload, or the pressure of daily life, this episode offers encouragement, faith-centered perspective, and realistic tools to help you slow down, respond instead of react, and get back on the same team—even when you’re completely exhausted. 00:00 Introduction to the Relatable Parenting Podcast 00:34 Reflecting on the Holiday Season 02:59 Handling Conflict When Tired 03:27 Personal Conflict Management Strategies 07:32 Conflict Resolution in Relationships 10:57 Practical Tips for Managing Stress 21:47 Final Thoughts and Upcoming Episodes Follow us on socials: Instagram Sign up for our newsletter!
