If there's division at the top, between mom and dad, it doesn't stay at the top. It runs through the entire home. The kids feel it. You cannot hide it.
Most couples fight about the same three things: sex, money, and kids. And when it comes to the kids, the fighting is almost never about what you actually want. It's about how to get there.
In this episode of the Breaking Chains Podcast, I'm sharing four ways to stand together as parents, drawn from decades of blending families myself, so you can raise kids who are kingdom builders instead of raising them from a place of division.
What if the very thing you're ...

There's a tension that shows up right before something breaks. You've felt it. Like anyone in the house could blow up at any second, because of how much is being carried.
That's not a communication problem. That's a capacity problem.
In this episode of the Breaking Chains Podcast, I'm walking through four types of capacity, mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual, and why building capacity, not just enduring more, is what actually changes the atmosphere in your home and your leadership.
Load does not equal capacity. Your ability to carry a lot and keep going doesn't mean you have great capacity. It might j...

Give me peace. Give me clarity. Give me wisdom. Give me a more loving spouse.
What if the very thing you keep asking God for is something you're already carrying?
This is a different kind of episode. Not a framework, not a five-step process. Just something I was meditating on in my own quiet time that felt too relevant not to share.
In this episode of the Breaking Chains Podcast, I'm talking about the difference between living from lack and living from overflow, and what it looks like to stop asking God for peace, clarity, joy, strength, courage, and love, and start giving from the very things you already car...

You're doing the work. Growing spiritually, relationally, physically. And your spouse just... isn't raising their hand.
This is one of the most common patterns I've seen after decades of advisory work with couples: one person committed to growth, the other resistant, and neither one sure why.
In this episode of the Breaking Chains Podcast, I'm walking through five insights to help you navigate a season where you and your spouse are in completely different places, without compromising who you are or fighting the person you love in order to fight for your marriage.
This isn't about getting your spouse to catch ...

You have completely different spending styles. Completely different money habits. And you keep having the same argument about money, over and over, without ever actually getting anywhere.
That's the question Christine hears more than almost any other, second only to connection and communication. So she brought in Brian Peterson, founder of Blended Family Financial and creator of Planning Built for Life, to unpack it in real time.
In this episode of the Breaking Chains Podcast, I sit down with Brian Peterson to talk about blended family finances, and the framework he uses to help couples stop chasing money and ...

All of your problems are relationship problems.
Not belief systems. Not personality. Not circumstances. Relationships.
Whether it's your marriage, your kids, or your team, every wall you keep hitting comes down to a relational root.
In this episode of the Breaking Chains Podcast, I'm walking through three relationships you need to revisit if you want to build something extraordinary in your marriage, your family, or your business: your relationship with the truth, your relationship with the past, and your relationship with the future.
You can't give what you haven't received. If you haven't received forgiveness...

If you've ever felt like nothing you do is enough, like you're being micromanaged at home the same way you'd never tolerate at work, this one's for you.
Anxiety is always rooted in fear. Not logic. Which means you can't talk your spouse out of it, and you definitely can't fix it by trying harder.
In this episode of the Breaking Chains Podcast, I'm breaking down why anxiety and control are never really about what they look like they're about, and the three masks, the Fixer, the Provider, and the Performer, that keep us from ever holding real space for it.
You can't calm someone else's storm until you've learned t...

Three people reached out to me this week.
A health crisis at home.
A team stuck in conflict and division.
A marriage under pressure, buried in deadlines and big decisions.
Completely different situations. But I found myself giving all three the exact same response.
Because if you're a founder, business owner, or Invested Leader, you already know that what happens at home and what happens at work are rarely separate. They're often mirrors of each other.
In this episode of the Breaking Chains Podcast, I'm walking through the three phase framework I use with everyone I advise, whatever the situation, anchored in...

If you're a founder, executive, entrepreneur, or high-performing leader, slowing down probably doesn't come naturally.
You're wired to move.
Build.
Solve problems.
Create momentum.
Carry responsibility.
Make decisions.
And when something isn't moving fast enough, your instinct is probably to step in and make it happen.
That drive may have helped you build an extraordinary business and ...

What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life God has for you isn't a lack of time, money, or opportunity...
It's a lack of margin.
Many of us have spent years building successful businesses, providing for our families, and chasing meaningful goals. Yet somewhere along the way, we've filled every inch of our lives until there's no room left to breathe, think, heal, create, or h...
