The Top 10 Challenges that Families Face: Poor communication is one of the most common issues. Couples may misunderstand each other or struggle to express needs and feelings openly, leading to resentment and arguments.

Here is what it looks like when there is broken communication in the Family.

• Examples of broken communication:
• • Silent treatment.
  • Constant arguments without resolution.
  • Talking past each other or feeling unheard.
  • Assumptions - thinking you know

Common Causes of Broken Communication

1. Unspoken Expectations:
2. Assumptions
   • Discuss how unmet or unclear expectations lead to resentment.
   • Example: Partner assumes the other "should know" their needs.
3. Emotional Baggage:
   • How past experiences (from childhood or previous relationships) impact communication styles.
4. Stress and External Pressures:
   • Work, finances, or parenting can shift focus away from meaningful conversations.
5. Differences in Communication Styles:
   • Verbal vs. nonverbal communicators; introvert vs. extrovert dynamics.
6. Tech and Distractions:
   • Over-reliance on phones or screens instead of face-to-face dialogue

The Impact of Broken Communication (5 minutes)

• Explore emotional and relational consequences:
• • Increased misunderstandings and conflicts.
  • Emotional distance and lack of intimacy.
  • Erosion of trust over time.

1. Empathetic Listening:
   • Practice repeating back what you hear to ensure understanding.
   • “Seek to understand before being understood.”
2. Set Aside Dedicated Time:
   • Create a “check-in” routine free of distractions.
3. Use “I” Statements:
   • Reduce blame by expressing feelings without attacking your partner.
   • Example: “I feel hurt when you don’t respond to me” instead of “You never listen!”
4. Body Language and Tone Awareness:
   • Nonverbal cues often matter more than words.
5. Clarify Expectations:
   • Regularly discuss roles, responsibilities, and emotional needs.
6. Pause During Conflict:
   • Step away to cool down instead of escalating. Return to the issue with a clear mind.
7. Seek Professional Help:
   • Couples therapy or communication workshops as an investment in your relationship.

With a historic election in the record books and a fresh opportunity to advance the Kingdom of God, what exactly do Christians do now? What can we not afford to do with the opportunity God has provided? How do we "show up" in our families to pray, engage with our communities, and be a part of the great awakening that is coming?

Today we talk with Sloan Adams from TPUSA Faith (Turning Point USA) about what he experienced in the run up to the elections and where the body of Christ needs to go from here.

Sloan also has invited to to attend the huge Amerifest 2024 Event in Phoenix Dec 19-22 . use the promo code FAITH for a 25% discount off of your event registration. www.tpusafaith.org

Wondering how to get ahead of the culture and bring help and healing to those suffering from gender confusion and questioning their sexuality?

In Today's podcast we will hear from Rev. Elizabeth Woning, co-director of the CHANGED Movement, a worldwide network of people who have questioned their sexuality (or are questioning) and have chosen to move away from LGBTQ identities and culture. CHANGED offers individuals pastoral and peer support to follow Jesus wholeheartedly through a biblical sexual ethic, and equips churches and families who are having these conversations.

Elizabeth attended seminary openly lesbian before her faith led her to emotional healing and restoration in her sexuality. Her ministry focuses on the intersection of faith with culture pertaining to same-sex sexuality and gender identity. She works frequently with politicians and think tanks providing insight and messaging on the LGBTQ experience. Elizabeth is currently completing her Doctor of Ministry degree in New Testament theology at Houston Theological Seminary and is an associate pastor at Bethel Church in Redding, CA, where she and her husband, Doug, reside. changedmovement.com | @changedmvmt
