Can one well-timed word change a life? In this week's video, Alisa Grace describes how God enables us to edify others and gives three easy steps to give a meaningful compliment.

Do you dread that awkward lag of conversation when you sit down to talk with your kid? Sometimes when we have conversations with our kids it can feel like they are complete strangers. If we make an effort to expand beyond the basic questions of 'how are you?' and 'what was your day like?' our kids may even become our friends. In this week's video, Alisa Grace gives us three questions to ask our children that help us grow closer together. 

In this week's episode, Chris and Tim discuss how the subconscious "subtitles" in a conversation can reinforce a negative view of your partner and your marriage. Drawing on wisdom from John Gottman's book, they provide tools to help prevent your internal script from taking on a decidedly negative tone.

The Bible says God has already begun the work of making things new, but why do we so often miss it?  As we enter a new year with our hopes and dreams, Dr. Chris Grace reminds us of God’s promises and the hope we have in Him.

They answer listener questions about masks, how to respond when friends and family have differing opinions on social distancing, and confronting marital issues.

Dr. Chris Grace and Dr. Tim Muehlhoff got together this week (socially-distanced, of course!) to talk about social issues and what to do when your friends disagree with you on hot button topics.

What makes a conversation turn sideways? Why do words have the ability to hold power over us? Believe it or not, our perceptions have a lot to do with it. In this episode, Tim and Chris dive deeper into how our perceptions of ourselves affect relationships.
