    Great Sex and the Mental Load of Marriage with Dr. Morgan Cutlip

    Looking for great sex in your marriage? In today’s episode, I have a candid conversation with relationship expert Dr. Morgan Cutlip where we explore “the mental load” in marriage and how it can affect our sex life.  Morgan defines the mental load as the invisible and seemingly ​never-ending ​to ​do ​list ​that ​we ​carry ​around ​in ​our ​heads (which often falls on women) and how it can lead to feelings of resentment in relationships.  We also talk about the importance of communication and appreciation in marriage and we dive into practical steps for couples to enhance their connection (which can lead to great sex!).  This discussion promises to challenge husbands to share the mental load with their wives and will equip listeners with practical tools for improving their relationships.

    The Asbury Revival and Humility vs Humiliation with Zach Meerkreebs

    On today’s episode, I connect with pastor and author, Zach Meerkreebs. In 2023, Zach was the guest speaker who preached the message that sparked a 16-day revival at Asbury’s Campus in Wilmore, Kentucky. (Note: Asbury is where I lived and attended seminary!)  Zach opens up about his experiences during the Asbury Revival, what’s happened since, and takeaways for us and the Church. My favorite part of the conversation: through a series of ups and downs of his life, Zach shares how he learned the difference between humiliation and humility. And did he learn this in church or in seminary? No. He learned all of this while working at a donut shop.  Don’t miss this powerful conversation! Grab a copy of Zach’s new book Lower.

    My Mentors: Rick Melmer on Marriage, Parenting, Faith and Weathering Storms (South Dakota #12)

    Today’s episode kicks off a new series where we explore the important role of mentors through conversations with my own mentors that have profoundly impacted my life. My guest today is Rick Melmer, who has held numerous influential roles, from serving as the superintendent of a high school and the secretary of education for South Dakota, to working as the dean of USD’s School of Education and the director of Leadership South Dakota.But beyond all of these titles, Rick has been a constant presence in my life since my sophomore year of high school. Over the years, our paths have crossed in countless meaningful (& funny) ways. I attended prom with his daughter. His family supported my wife and me financially while I was in seminary. I also had the honor of performing the funeral for his father-in-law. And his family has been a cherished part of the church I now pastor. I ask Rick about the 3 areas of life where I look to him as a mentor: being a husband and dad, weathering storms in his career and being a follower of Jesus. Rick provides valuable insights into the role of a mentor and the impact they can have on our lives.  We also talk about the mentor’s Rick had in his life and advice on how to find mentors in your own life.
