Fierce ParentingHow do I talk to my child about pornography? (Dr. Denny Frederick) (Sexuality, 4 of 4)It's undeniable, porn is ubiquitous and its effects saturate our culture. As parents, it's imperative that we're on the offensive when it comes to this issue. But, how? How can we begin having fruitful conversations around pornography? At what age is necessary and appropriate? What do we do if our child is already struggling with pornography addiction? We discussed these questions and more with our VERY special guest, Dr. Denny Frederick.

Fierce MarriageThe Secret (and Super Obvious) IngredientThis week we recapped a few recent arguments we had to help illustrate how this one ingredient changes everything. While our fights had to do with dinners and sex, they each actually had nothing to do with either. You'll have to listen to the episode to discover what that means!

Fierce MarriageNarcissism and MarriageWords like vanity, self-love, self-admiration, self-absorption, self-obsession, conceit, self-regard, and egotism all have one thing in common: the self is viewed as the crux of importance. They also describe narcissistic personality disorder. Everyone is selfish to a degree, but narcissists are self-focused at an extreme level. In today's episode we discussed narcissism as a personality disorder, explored ways narcissists hurt their spouse, and revealed why, at its root, narcissism is a rejection of the gospel (which is the only cure). We're not psychologists, so this podcast is an overview based on research done by others. We hope...2020-08-1151 min

Fierce MarriageDecision Drivers in MarriageDecisions, decisions! The average couple makes hundreds of small decisions and many significant ones on a daily basis. The question is, where do our choices come from? As we discussed in this episode, every decision is rooted in some core value, and our core values have to do with our views of wisdom and folly as well as our ability to act on our views. This conversation got a bit heady, but we still had fun with it. We hope it blesses you in some way. Thanks for listening! If you'd like to support this ministry, please...2020-08-0458 min

Fierce MarriageServing is PursuingServing is not likely to make it to the top of most people's "things that are sexy about marriage" list. Still, serving one another is one of the most profound (if not THE most profound) ways to love each other in marriage. In today's episode, we discussed three ways Jesus showed us to serve one another when he washed his disciples' feet. We also shared some of what's been going on personally as it's been a particularly emotional season in the Frederick household.

Fierce MarriageManipulation in MarriageAs we discovered, there is a vast array of manipulation methods at play in human relationships. The question is, which ones are you unwittingly using against each other in your marriage? Rationalization, minimization, lying (by omission and commission), shaming, vilifying, seduction, and many other methods might be at work in ways you're unaware.

Fierce MarriageExpectations are EverythingExpectations are constantly at work in every marriage. The question is whether or not we're aware of them and in agreement on what they should be. In this episode we posed dozens of questions for listener consideration about expectations in sex, money, communication, in-laws, hobbies, divisions of chores/labor, church, and more.

Fierce MarriageAre Your Hearts Hard or Soft?Soft hearts are necessary for a healthy, thriving, happy marriage. But our tendency is not to remain soft toward each other. Bad days happen, tiredness, sin, crisis, arguments, and more can contribute to each of the three indicators of whether or not your hearts are soft toward one another. We also discussed four efforts you can employ today to help soften your hearts if you feel them hardening. We hope it blesses you! Thanks for listening!

Fierce MarriageHow to Change Your SpouseIf you could change one thing about your spouse, what would it be? Life would be so much easier if we could just change our spouse, right? The problem is, God never called husbands and wives to change each other... heart change is God's domain alone. So, what can we do when we're living in a relationship where we're unequally yoked and change is needed, but you're powerless to make it happen? Thankfully, we're not without hope. In this episode, we talked through the two domains God has commissioned us to work within, and shared three tangible...2020-05-2649 min

Fierce MarriageHow Do We Begin Walking with God as a Couple?A listener wrote in with a great question. She mentioned that they know they need to grow in their marriage, they want to experience deeper levels of intimacy, and they know they need to center their home on Christ... but then she asked, where do we start?
