To those in the Beginning | Sarah Linebaugh + Nick Rivero

Tue, 9 Jun 2020 04:00:35 +0000

Meet Sarah Linebaugh and Nick Rivero former art-school student and roadie, creators of the company MEPTIK - creating experiences that drive human connection. This podcast is for all the beginnings. For the beginning of adulthood, the beginning of marriage, the beginnings of a family, and more. For Sarah and Nick, their beginnings seemed to begin all at the same time. Having only a few years of marriage under their belts, while also being in the beginning stages of launching their company, they began to start to ask themselves the question “When is the right time to have a baby?“. But before they could answer that question, Sarah was in labor, and Nick was juggling the weight of the company on his shoulders.

How to Disagree and Not Leave | Yvette + Glen Henry

Tue, 2 Jun 2020 04:00:16 +0000

We meet Yvette and Glen Henry, married nine years with four kids. Yvette and Glen are the hosts of the "How Married Are You" Podcast. After months of Glen coming home from work unhappy, Yvette asked Glen to consider being a stay at home dad. Through his time being a stay at home parent, Glen created "Beleaf in Fatherhood," proving great fathers exist one day at a time. It started as a YouTube Channel, and it's now so much more, a community and a resource for families. The Henry's are vulnerable about their journey of being a family that shares their life online - it's not about fame or success; it's about the purpose their family is called to.

Minimalist Mindset | Kim + Joshua Becker

kayla@plywoodpeople.com (Joshua and Kim Becker, André and Jeff Shinabarger) — Tue, 19 May 2020 04:00:07 +0000

With the world stuck at home, so many of us are realizing just how much stuff we have. For Joshua and Kim Becker, this realization hit 12 years ago.

In the midst of spring cleaning a while back, Joshua Becker learned the term “minimalism”. Him and his family then entered a 9-month journey of working through all the growing pains that go along with becoming a minimalist. One of which hit a little too close to home for his wife Kim when she walked in on Joshua throwing away their honeymoon photos!

After the initial sting, this new way of life led Joshua to leave his job as a Pastor and to launch their new company “Becoming Minimalist” which brought on a whole new set of growing pains for the family. Join us as we listen to how Joshua and Kim are now active voices in leading other people in the process of decluttering and reprioritizing the things in their lives.

Enneagram and Choosing No Kids | Phileena + Chris Heuertz

kayla@plywoodpeople.com (André and Jeff Shinabarger) — Mon, 27 May 2019 04:00:34 +0000

In this episode of Love or Work, we have the opportunity to learn from Chris and Phileena Heuertz, Founders of Gravity, a center for contemplative activism.

Chris helped launch South Asia’s first pediatric AIDS care home — creating a safe haven for children. Phileena has spent her life doing social justice work among the world’s poor. As a couple, Chris and Phileena served with the Word Made Flesh community for nearly 20 years, working for women and children victimized by human traffickers in the commercial sex industry. Then in 2012, they founded Gravity.

This duo has devoted their lives to others, and they share about making the choice to not have children. It wasn't a decision made out of selfishness; it was a decision made over years, full of hard conversations, grief and so much more.

Also, in this episode, we get into the Enneagram! Chris is the author of the Sacred Enneagram, so we had to dive in with an expert. Phileena, who wrote Mindful Silence, helps us understand the importance of mediation and contemplation as an essential practice to know ourselves and improve our relationships.

Creating Strategy as a Couple | Sam + Toni Collier

Mon, 13 May 2019 04:00:01 +0000

Episode 43 is live! This week we are introducing you to our friends Sam and Toni Collier! These two do ALL the things, and they are so full of energy. They are extremely gifted communicators. Toni is a Host, Communicator, and Consultant, while Sam is a Speaker, Author, Podcaster, and National TV and Radio Host. See... they do all the things!

Sam and Toni share their love story, the journey of blending a family, and how work intertwines into it all. The Colliers talk through what it's like for people to label them as being the "Same Person" because of their similar personalities, their giftings, and their charisma, but in reality, they are very different. So as a couple, they dissect the following: Morning Person vs Not a Morning Person. Visionary vs Executor. Extrovert vs Introvert.

For the umpteenth time, the Colliers (along with so many other couples we've interviewed) recommend counseling without a doubt, individual counseling and marriage counseling. We all bring baggage to the table. Maybe it's a previous marriage and a baby like Toni or being adopted like Sam. Maybe there's trauma or maybe we're struggling with our purpose. It's probably time for us all to go find a counselor.

Preemptive Love | Jessica + Jeremy Courtney

kayla@plywoodpeople.com (André and Jeff Shinabarger) — Mon, 25 Feb 2019 05:01:00 +0000

“Our number one responsibility is to raise high-functioning, intelligent, nuanced, loving, service-oriented adults. I think that’s what we’re really trying to do.
And we think there might be an inverse correlation between safety and how we want to raise our kids to be, if we want to raise our kids in the name of protection and then suddenly expect them to flip a switch at 21 or 26 and become service-orientated, loving, nuanced, kind, worldly, and the best sense of culture and open to other ideas.”

Jeremy and Jess Courtney of Preemptive Love talk about how relationships change language, what they learned about how other families do life while living amongst another culture, and how being hopeful is a lot easier when you’re closer to the problem.
