    134. Jan Peterson | A Life Well Lived

    134. Jan Peterson | A Life Well Lived

    This week we’re continuing in our Mentor Couples series leading up to the launch of our new book, The Rhythm of Home, releasing June 4!



    So many of the rhythms that have carried us as a couple and as a family over the years, God has taught us through these amazing couples he placed along our path, and we are so excited to share with you some of the most helpful conversations we’ve had with some of the wisest couples we know. Some new, some old that have been incredibly valuable to us along the way! 



    This week we’re celebrating the anniversary of one of our favorite episodes of all time. Back in April of 2019, Jenni and I had the incredible honor of sitting down with the lovely Jan Peterson, wife of beloved pastor & author Eugene Peterson, for what none of us realized would be her very last interview.  Shortly after our time together, her health began a rapid decline, and she went home to be with Jesus on Friday, May 10, 2019.⠀



    To say we were blessed by our time with Jan would be a vast understatement.  It is a gift we will treasure forever. Jan had us cracking up, tearing up, and in complete awe of a life well lived. ⠀



    So today, we celebrate Jan and Eugene, and all they taught us through their life together of what it truly means to live life well. Listen in.

    133: Mark and Jan Foreman | Never Say No

    133: Mark and Jan Foreman | Never Say No

    This week we’re starting a brand new series leading up to the launch of our new book, The Rhythm of Home, releasing June 4!



    One of the ways God has faithfully led us over the years has been through bringing many older, wiser couples around us, who are enough ahead of us on the journey to offer helpful wisdom for the season we are in.  We have come to value learning from them as much as humanly possible. So many of the rhythms that have carried us as a couple and as a family over the years, God has taught us through these amazing couples he placed on our path!  So we thought it might be helpful to share some of the most valuable conversations we’ve had with some of the wisest couples we know. Some new, some old that have been incredibly valuable to us along the way! 



    This week we’re featuring a conversation we had with our good friends and mentors, Mark and Jan Foreman. Mark and Jan are the parents of Jon and Tim Foreman from the band Switchfoot, pastors at North Coast Calvary Chapel, and also just happen to be the authors of one of our very favorite parenting books, Never Say No!



    As you listen to Mark and Jan share, you will quickly understand why their book remains at the top of our list! We chat with Mark and Jan about how to really enjoy our kids, the importance of saying yes to the invitations from our kids to join them in adventure, and also becoming people who lead the way in our own lives by saying yes to the adventures God is calling us to take! Their wisdom and advice have truly been transformative to us both in our parenting and in our lives. We know you will be blessed and impacted as well! Enjoy our conversation with Mark and Jan Foreman.



    Pull up a chair and join us, this is a great one! Listen in.

    On today's episode we're chatting with poet, songwriter, and best selling author, Douglas McKelvey about his latest work: Every Moment Holy, Volume 3: The Work of the People.

One of the best!

I have loved listening to this podcast over the last year. There is so many practical topics covered and I truly feel encouraged and motivated to be a better wife, mom and person. Very thankful that Chris and Jenni take so much of their time to put forth a quality, Christian podcast. I highly recommend!

They Live It Well

This podcast is like a hug that you didn't know you needed. It's like a cup of coffee that you've slowed down enough to taste. It's like meeting a couple on vacation that you liked so much, you exchange information, form a friendship and plan a vacation together in the future. It's professional but not a production. It's insightful but not academic. It's transparent but not dramatic. It's just a pleasurable and powerful way to spend your time. I mean the mission is in their mantra: you only have one life to live, live it well. Who doesn't want to do that?

Wisdom for the journey

I love this podcast! I know when I listen each week, I’ll be coming away from it encouraged and redirected toward how to live my best life well. In a world full of noise, this one cuts to the chase and gives me information I can actually use to live my life on purpose.
