Fear or Love: What Is Motivating You?
Chris Grace, Tim Muehlhoff - September 18, 2019

Is Marriage Worth Choosing?
Debra Fileta, Chris Grace, Tim Muehlhoff - August 21, 2019
"If you're not fighting in a relationship, then someone's lying. Someone's not telling the truth because you're taking a passive stance...There is a huge difference between selflessness and passivity. A lot of times in the name of selflessness, we're just like 'Well, I'm not going to bring it up. I'm not going to say what I need. I'm not going to talk through this.' That's not selflessness, that's conflict avoiding."
Today we continue the conversation with author Debra Fileta on how intentionally couples need to continually choose marriage rather than choosing to focus on personal happiness.

Are You Partnering With The Holy Spirit?
Chris Grace, Tim Muehlhoff - July 24, 2019

What Are Your Emotions Saying To You?
Chris Grace, Kimberly Miller, Tim Muehlhoff - July 10, 2019
“It's an important distinction to make, that the parts of us are not bad. Just like you have arms and legs, parts of your soul aren't bad. You want them, and they can work for you. The problem is if they become extreme, or if they take you over and you're not being led by the Holy Spirit.”

Are You Listening? Your Emotions Are Talking
Chris Grace, Kimberly Miller, Tim Muehlhoff - June 26, 2019
Anger, shame, sadness, envy, criticism. When you feel these emotions build up inside you, what is your gut instinct? What if those emotions are trying to tell you something about what is important to you? What if they are coming from a place that needs your attention? On this episode of the podcast, we talk with Kim Miller, MTh, LMFT, and author of Boundaries For Your Soul. She explains that our emotions can tell us a lot about ourselves...if we will just listen!

CMR's Freeway Series: Angels v. Dodgers Pt.2
Chris Grace, Tim Muehlhoff - June 12, 2019
"So, if my son has a bad game am I just going to go throttle on him and lay on more after the game. That's not what he needs to hear. He kind of needs to hear the 'I love you no matter what.' That's important to show like 'I love you when you do well' and 'I love you when you do bad' because my love is not indicative of your results. That is really important for a child to hear that. Like, 'I love you no matter what, okay?'
Tune in as we continue the conversation with the Angels and Dodgers chaplains as they discuss how to parent their own kids in the midst of a performance-driven culture. -
