    285. Consistently Inconsistent
    Dec 17 2024
    Welcome back to the show, everyone! While not intentional, we have been MIA from your ears for three whole weeks. We originally intended to only be absent for Thanksgiving week, but one week somehow managed to turn into two weeks which turned into three. That was in large part because of lots of things happening during that time, so we definitely have some exciting updates!Hear about things such as the two trips that I took to Kansas, the offer that Jesse and I put on a rental house, and how I recently took on a new position at our company! We also dealt with a round of hand, foot, and mouth disease in the family and have, of course, been prepping for Christmas, so yeah, we have had A LOT going on, but we are back!As I said, I took on a new role at our company and am so excited to be going into 2025. However, Jesse and I discuss how saying yes to things often means having to say no to others, so I discuss the small sacrifices I am making in exchange. We touch upon the importance of having consistency and fixed times for chores, tasks, and activities during the day and also why it’s good to give yourself grace when on a journey of self-development, celebrating wins and progress despite setbacks and unmet goals.Jesse and I also discuss three shows and movies that I watched recently, all on Disney+. Together, we watched a four-part docu-series titled Tsunami: Race Against Time, and we talk about what we loved about it and how enlightening we found it. I also recently watched a movie called Out of My Mind, and I reflect on some of the important lessons that the movie offers its viewers. Lastly, I discuss a documentary titled Endurance which tells the story of Ernest Shackleton and his ship that got stuck off the coast of Antarctica.I also reflect on a really important question that I got from a listener recently asking about approaching the major decision of adding more children to their family, especially when it will mean a big age gap between the kids that they already have and their new additions. As those of you who know our story know, that is pretty much exactly what our arrangement is like, so we discuss how we have made it work and what we have learned - not just us two but also our older kids.As always, I hope that our discussion is helpful and insightful, and I hope that you will join us next time! It will be our final episode of 2024, and we will be talking about our 2025 goals!In This Episode[0:35] - We have been MIA lately![2:03] - How was I able to take a new position in my own company?[5:07] - We also recently had a round of hand, foot, and mouth disease in the family.[7:02] - Taking on a new role in the company has meant giving up some things.[9:41] - I describe the wise advice that Jesse gave me about my new role.[12:59] - Jesse likes that we have set aside fixed times for tasks and activities.[14:52] - Jesse recently signed up for a personal training coach![17:24] - You have to be honest with yourself and your coach to make a mindset shift.[20:41] - I have been so much better lately about not scrolling on my phone in bed at night.[22:14] - Jesse and I recently watched the series Tsunami: Race Against Time together.[24:07] - A tsunami research center in Hawaii was tracking it but had no way to warn a lot of people.[26:22] - I also recently watched the movie Out of My Mind.[28:50] - Hear about the third movie I saw recently, Endurance.[32:20] - Incredibly, not one of Shackleton’s crew members died![34:30] - I open up discussion around a question that I got from a listener recently.[37:23] - Learn why we have enjoyed having little kids a lot more the second time.[40:00] - We discuss how having little kids has affected our older kids.[43:18] - When you have teenagers and little kids, someone always needs you.Links & ResourcesCrystal PaineTV Shows & FilmsTsunami: Race Against TimeOut of My MindEnduranceBooksOut of My Mind by Sharon M.

    This week, we did something rare – we sat down and actually watched a movie, Twisters! Our kids have been raving about it, and turns out, it wasn’t just because we’re from Kansas. It's a thrilling and quite clean movie (just a small bit of language), which is not always easy to find these days, so if you haven't seen it, I definitely recommend it!We also talk about politics -- something I don't do much of on the internet. We talk about our setup on election night with multiple screens and streams, my Electoral college predictions, and how I tried to really listen to what people were saying on both sides this election and what I learned from that.In addition, we share about hosting guests recently and how we practical very simple hospitality and some ideas for reaching out and loving people well.

    Nov 12 2024
    Today's guest is actually a threepeat guest, Jeannie Cunnion! And today we get to have a conversation about building a deeper relationship with God, inspired by her new devotional, Closer to God: A 40-day Pursuit of God's Personal Presence.Jeannie has the remarkable ability to push us deeper in our walk with Jesus and her new devotional is full of profound questions and encouragement to challenge and inspire us to grow closer to God.In this episode, Jeannie shares her journey, drawing from her previous book Don't Miss Out, which explores the vital role of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Her new devotional continues this exploration with questions like "Who is the Holy Spirit?" and "What does true intimacy with God look like?" These are just a few of the 40 questions which she discusses, ultimately designed to stir our spirits and deepen our hunger for a more vibrant life with God.Jeannie also opens up about overcoming barriers to intimacy with God such as resisting the Holy Spirit or being caught in a performance mindset with God. She emphasizes the freedom and refreshment found in daily repentance and how it cultivates intimacy with God. In this episode, we dive into these subjects and also discuss practical ways to experience God's presence in our every day lives -- from washing dishes to carpooling, recognizing that God's presence isn't limited to just extraordinary moments.Whether you're new to Christianity or a long-time believer looking to deepen your relationship with God, I think you will be so blessed and challenged by what Jeannie shares in this episode on how to deepen your relationship with God -- in the midst of real life!In This Episode[0:33] - Jeannie's new devotional book Closer to God challenges readers with deep, reflective questions and inspiration.[2:48] - The Holy Spirit stirs a deeper hunger for God within us, Jeannie explains.[4:15] - God's presence is for everyday moments, not just mountaintop or valley experiences.[6:47] - Understanding the Holy Spirit's role removes barriers to intimacy with God.[10:22] - Embracing repentance, rather than performance, helps cultivate closeness with God.[11:24] - Repentance is refreshing and transformative and is not meant for reprimand.[14:15] - Jeannie states that practicing God's presence involves daily conversation and reading His Word.[17:45] - Pursuing holiness by following Jesus invites abundant life and peace.[21:10] - Worship and community can help us remember God's faithfulness in difficult times.[24:09] - Choosing God in daily moments leads to strength and hope.[27:50] - I observe how faith grows through cultivating intimacy, repentance, and obedience.Links & ResourcesCrystal PaineThe Crystal Paine Show - 3.
