Someone Has to Go First: Luke Smallbone on Forgiveness
2026/11/03
Luke Smallbone of for KING + COUNTRY shares the story of forgiveness with his own brothers and takes us behind the scenes of Drummer Boy, in theaters November 6. A film about reconciliation, Luke shares how he had to live it first. He shares why forgiveness puts your pride on the line. And if there’s someone in your family you haven’t spoken to in a long time, why someone has to go first. Here are some key takeaways: Drift starts small. Creative and business differences crept into the brothers’ relationship.Reconciliation started with an uncomfortable conversation and owning their part.Forgiveness isn’t one and done. Rebuild trust, keep forgiving, and pick up the phone when suspicion creeps in.“I got my brother back.” The film was already a win before it hit theaters.When two people can’t get along, often one or both just has to be right.Learn to forgive the people you once thought were unforgivable. That’s where freedom is. Show Notes:  Drummer Boy is in theaters November 6.

Why You Get Defensive With Your Spouse (And What to Say Instead)
2026/10/29
Your spouse brings you a hurt, and before you know it, you’re defending yourself or rushing to fix it. Dr. Josh uses an example from his own marriage and unpacks why we do this: an old wound gets stirred up, and we react to the past instead of the person in front of us. When we jump to fixing, our spouse can feel like a problem to solve or a burden to get through. Plus, Dr. Josh shares the three words that get you back to what’s really broken: the connection. Here are some key takeaways:Most criticism carries a feeling. Listen for the feeling, not just the words.Defensiveness keeps the pain cycle spinning.We often react to an old wound, not the person in front of us.The two three-word phrases that help you respond to the hurt.How to give your spouse the benefit of the doubt. Name the opponent (illness, stress, a hard week), not your spouse.Show notes: Check out our new online marriage coaching option.  https://www.famousathome.com/loveyourmarriageexperience Sign up for the Living Legacy Cohort.

"Must Be Nice!" 4 Ways to Stop Keeping Score in Marriage
2026/10/22
He’s up at 5AM thinking, “Must be nice to sleep in.” She’s thinking, “Must be nice to leave the house.” Sound familiar? In this episode, Dr. Josh unpacks how tired spouses start keeping score, and four practical ways to get back on the same team. Here are some key takeaways:“Must be nice” is where scorekeeping starts.When we don’t feel seen, we cope: sarcasm, martyrdom, attacking, or going silent.Ask yourself: do I really believe this is their character? Usually, it isn’t.Swap “you” for “we, us, our," and an "us-against-the-world" attitude.Walk the tightrope of responsibility. Own your part without falling into blame or shame.Name your opponents: kids, work, travel, in-laws, money, addiction. Bring them into the light.Every day, say one moment you felt seen, heard, loved, or appreciated.Show Notes: Sign up for the Living Legacy Cohort. Starts Jan. 2027.

6 Practical Ways to Build Joy: Present or Just Available?
2026/10/15
Does your family experience you as present, or just available? Do you find yourself hoping joy will one day find you once things slow down? Dr. Josh gets practical about building joy into your days, weeks, and year: 30-second habits, celebrations, and what he calls "enthusiastic welcoming." This is part two of our joy series. Don't try it all. Pick one and start there. It's the two-degree shifts that make all the difference.  Here are some key takeaways: Joy is built relationally.Numb the hard feelings and you numb the good ones too.Receive, relive, remember. Don't just list what you're grateful for. Step back into the moment.Microdose joy. Thirty seconds watching a bird or your kid's wonder counts.Welcome your people like you're glad they're here.Sabbath lets your soul catch up to your body.Ask yourself: who needs to feel my delight?Show Notes:  Men, sign up for the Living Legacy Cohort.

Why We've Lost Our Joy (And Where To Find It)
2026/10/08
For some reason, we inherently believe that joy is a byproduct of success. Yet, we finish the project, celebrate for five minutes, and move on to the next thing, waking up one day confused as to why the joy didn't seem to follow. In this episode, Dr. Josh shares why so many leaders and parents lose joy, and what joy really is: not a feeling or a byproduct of success, but a present-tense experience rooted in our trust in God. Where happiness depends on circumstances; joy depends on position. Here are some takeaways and highlights:  Ask: does my family experience me as proud of what they do, or delighted that they exist?Screens keep us in the left brain. Relational joy lives in the right brain.Gratitude has to be experienced, not just listed.Your calendar is discipling you. What is it teaching you about joy?How and why God scheduled joy. Show Notes:  Men, sign up for the Living Legacy Cohort. Starts Jan. 2027.

Go Analog: Small Shifts for a More Present Life
2026/10/01
When was the last time you jumped in a pile of leaves without taking a picture of it? And do you know what not doing this is doing to your nervous system?  In this week's episode, Dr. Josh talks about what it means to go analog in a digital world. He covers why our screens have quietly become our masters, what half-attention teaches our kids, and the small two-degree shifts that bring us back to our own soul, our spouse, and our kids. You don't have to get rid of your devices. But you may need to get rid of your vices.  Here are some highlights:  Anything you can't fast from owns you.Connection comes from small two-degree shifts, not one radical decision.Kids notice your continous partial attention. When they say "look at me," they deserve all of you.Go analog: find what works for you (e.g. no dings, phone stays inside when you play, one screen-free room, one screen-free time of day.)Boredom isn't the enemy. It's where creativity starts.Use screens to create, not just consume.God often speaks in the silence, and our noise can drown Him out.Show Notes:  Looking for one-on-one coaching with Dr. Josh to be famous at home? https://www.famousathome.com/individualcoaching Men, sign up for the Living Legacy Cohort.

The 2-Degree Shift That Changes How You Lead
2026/09/09
What if becoming a healthier leader at home doesn’t require a major overhaul, but simply a two-degree shift?   High-capacity leaders know how to solve problems, make decisions, and get things done. But the skills that make you effective at work don’t always translate at home. That’s because your greatest strengths, like your drive, capacity, and ability to fix things, can keep you from slowing down, listening, and connecting with the biggest fans under your roof.   In this episode, Dr. Josh explores how small relational shifts can change the way you lead in your marriage and family. He also provides small, practical, two-degree shifts that can change the trajectory of your family and the atmosphere of your home. You don’t need a 90-degree turn. You just need two degrees.  *Thank you to Bernhardt Watches for sponsoring this episode!

2026/09/03
Fall brings new rhythms, new opportunities, and a fuller calendar. But not every good opportunity is right for your family in this season. In this episode, Dr. Josh spends some time sharing how to wade through everything competing for your time, attention, and identity.

Here are some highlights:  • Clarifying your family’s yeses and nos • Protecting intimacy in your marriage • Getting on the same team with your spouse • Connecting with your kids in everyday moments • Protecting peace without missing what matters • Letting your values, not your calendar, set the pace • Abiding in Jesus to discern what belongs in this season Time Stamps:  00:00 Introduction 2:30 Are Christian families much different than the rest of the world? 4:15 Why this season requires clarity 11:30 When successful leaders feel like their family gets the leftovers 15:30 How family values bring clarity to your schedule 20:00 Identifying the opponents to intimacy in your marriage 25:30 Creating an “Us Against the World” attitude in your marriage 30:30 Why we sometimes choose chaos over quiet 33:00 “Let your yes be yes and your no be no” 37:00 The ordinary moments that create extraordinary connection 42:00 What your tongue reveals about your heart 46:00 How to lead your family with peace and joy Show Notes:  Looking for leadership coaching to be famous at home?  https://www.famousathome.com/individualcoaching Men, sign up for the next Living Legacy Cohort: https://www.famousathome.com/menscoaching Looking for a marriage intensive with Famous at Home?

A major new study just dropped on faith transmission across generations — and Josh breaks it down. Drawing from Passing the Torch (Institute for Family Studies), decades of research by Vern Bengston on relational warmth, and John Gottman's data on repair, this episode answers the question we’re all asking as Christian parents: Will my kids keep the faith when they leave home?

Honoring Parents and In-Laws in a Culture of Relational Cutoff
2026/07/01
If you've ever wrestled with complicated family dynamics or wondered how to honor your parents or in-laws while protecting your own family, this episode will encourage and challenge you with a deeply biblical perspective.   What does it really mean to honor your father and mother in a culture that often encourages us to walk away from difficult relationships? In this episode, Josh explores why honoring your parents doesn't mean denying your pain—but it does require a biblical perspective on love, boundaries, forgiveness, and generational legacy.   In this episode, Josh discusses: How your children are learning from the way you treat your parentsWhy we've inflated words like toxic, trauma, and boundariesThe difference between honoring someone and enabling unhealthy behaviorWhy healing doesn't always require cutting people offThe power of reframing your family storyPractical ways to navigate difficult relationships with parents and in-lawsHow to discern between characterological versus circumstantial expectations of your parents / in-laws*Thank you to Bernhardt Watches for sponsoring this episode!

The Emotionally Present Man
2026/06/17
Most men were never taught how to be emotionally present. They were taught how to provide, how to perform, and how to push through. And for a long time, that felt like enough. But if you've ever come home after leading hundreds of people at work and felt completely lost in your own living room, you're not alone. This is why famous at home exists in the first place.   In this episode, Josh discusses the tension men feel between the demands of their professional lives and the deeper call of their homes. Drawing on decades of research—including what one USC longitudinal study found is the single greatest factor for passing faith across generations—his own coaching work with high-capacity men, and two personal moments where he heard the quiet voice of God, Josh unpacks the three relationships every father must tend: with his wife, with his kids, and with Jesus.   Whether you lead hundreds at work and feel lost at home, or you're simply trying to figure out what a present, emotionally engaged husband and father looks like in practice — this one's for you. *Thank you to Bernhardt Watches for sponsoring this episode!

Raising Future Legends: Kids Who Carry the Kingdom Everywhere They Go
2026/06/10
We've been asking our kids the wrong question since kindergarten. "What do you want to be when you grow up?" confuses identity with performance, and Josh argues we've been setting them up for anxiety and false selves ever since. This episode reframes the whole parenting mission around the theme of Jesus's central message: the Kingdom of God. When kids understand their personal role in building for the kingdom of God, their identity stops depending on what they do, what they have, or what anyone thinks of them. It's a parenting paradigm shift that gives our kids a purpose bigger than anything the world has to offer.
