If you're single the one thing you've probably grown tired of is all the lame reasons relationships don't work out. You wish someone would just be honest, up-front, and direct about why they are ending the relationship with you. This week on the Mommy Daddy Time Podcast, we are launching our series on dating. In part 1 of the series Eric & Kristy talk about the 6 dumb things, Christians say to mess up their dating life. That's right, we're tackling the lame, stupid, and dumb break-up lines Christians use on one another. Not only are we exposing them, but we are translating them. We're taking the dumbest things we've heard, had others tell us, and have been communicated to our friends and calling them out. For the first time ever we're doing a series for all our unmarried and single friends. If you are married, that doesn't mean this isn't for you. You probably know someone who is in the dating scene and could use advice like this in their lives. Or, someone may come to you looking for your advice and we promise this will be the best thing you've heard. Or, better yet, you'll have a few laughs as you walk down memory lane of the dumb things you've heard people use when they ended the relationship with you! We promise it's not you, it's us!

"If you want to have a great marriage or relationship should be in a community" this is something we've said a lot. And, if you're like a lot of couples you've heard the same thing. In order to make this happen though, you have to find a group of people who actually help you build your relationship. You need people who can help you navigate the tough stuff, set an example for the future, and offer insight into things you wouldn't be able to figure out on your own. The problem is, finding couples who have these qualities along with others in order to create this community can be hard. What happens when you don't know what to look for? How do you even go about finding them if you've just moved? And, what happens if you've tried to find it, but they don't seem to want to get involved with you? That's why we're talking not just about the "why" or "what" behind building a great community. We're talking about the "how". In this week's episode of the Mommy Daddy Time Podcast, Eric & Kristy get into the nitty-gritty of building community. We share our best tips for finding, identifying, filtering and even attracting the right people into your relationship. Plus, we will talk about what kinds of things make a community unhealthy. These are the things to avoid and run from because they can actually hurt your relationship instead of helping it. So, if you're wondering how to build a great community, how to avoid a bad community, and what it takes to attract the right community, this episode is for you! So, sit back, grab those air pods, and enjoy another episode of The Mommy Daddy Time Podcast.

Welcome to the Mommy Daddy Time Podcast! In episode 44 of the show, Eric & Kristy come back to talk about what's really been happening for the past 3 months. Life is not always a bowl of peaches. In fact, sometimes life just flat out kicks you in the peaches. When it does, we all respond differently.

In this episode, we continue the conversation about sex that no one else is having. We brought in a very special guest this week. Nick & Amy are the creators of the Ultimate Intimacy App, a mobile app designed to help couples increase the frequency, creativity, and enjoyment of sex inside their marriage. A lot of marriages struggle with sex. For some, sex can even feel more like a chore than something you look forward to or enjoy! Sex and Intimacy is something that ALL couples have to work on and be intentional within their marriage. The problem is, a lot of couples don't feel like they have the right tools and resources to help them enjoy, look forward to and improve their sex life. They struggle to keep things fun, connecting, and enjoyable. So, what happens when couples lack the tools and resources needed to have incredible sex? Their relationship struggles. They lose that special connection, and they feel like their marriage is missing something vital to its success. But, it doesn't have to be this way. The truth is, you don't have to keep struggling to enjoy, have, and look forward to sex. Nick and Amy have an incredible story where they share how they got married after dating for only 3 and 1/2 weeks!!! You read that right, WEEKS! Plus they explain how and why they created the Ultimate Intimacy App, as well as how sex helped them conquer their toughest moments in marriage.

Welcome to Episode 41 of the Mommy Daddy Time Podcast!!! In this episode, we have a conversation about sex that no one else is having. We brought in a very special guest this week. Caitlin Zick and her husband cole are the leaders of the Moral Revolution Podcast and ministry based in Redding California. Moral Revolution is a company of radicals helping to define healthy sexuality. A lot of marriages struggle with sex. In fact, it's one of the top 3 reasons marriages fail! The struggle with sex is not limited to certain groups, ages, or even past experiences. It's something that ALL couples have to work on and be intentional within their marriage. The worst part is, more often than not, the one place that should be talking about sex (the church) is often silent or vague. So what happens when couples are left without answers to the real questions they have about sex? What happens when couples don't have people they can turn to and openly talk about their sex issues? Well, things don't get better. In fact they often get worse. But, it doesn't have to be this way. The truth is, you don't have to keep struggling alone in your marriage with sex. Cole and Caitlin Zick have an incredible story where they share what sex was like when they first got married. SPOILER ALERT!!! It was not the rolling in the sheets, hot-n-heavy, Hollywood movie kind of honeymoon that often gets portrayed. In fact, it was anything but. Confused, distraught, and feeling defeated they took matters into their own hands and did something that even surprised us! In this episode, you'll finally hear an honest conversation about sex and marriage. + What happens when sex is something you don't enjoy? + Can a couple still be happy without orgasms? + How does sex change after kids? + What do we need to change in our sex life in order to have a happy marriage? + A LOT MORE!!! **WARNING** This episode may not be suitable for all audiences. If you normally listen with young ears, this is an episode you will want to filter through first! You shouldn't have to struggle with sex in your marriage. There is incredible hope out there if you do find yourself struggling with sex in your marriage. This episode will give you hope, healing, encouragement, and laughter.

Welcome to another episode of the Mommy Daddy Time Podcast! In this episode of the show, Eric & Kristy talk about how to survive without a job for 6 months. There is all kinds of real emotions and raw stuff in this one team as Eric shares what it's been like for him to be without a job for the past 6 months. Leaving my job was one of the scariest things I've ever done. I knew what God was calling us to and I had a lot of peace about it. But what I didn't know was anything about what would happen next. God has been incredibly gracious to us and provided for us in amazing ways. But, it's also been a lot of hard work, long nights, and rough days. In episode 39 of the Mommy Daddy Time Podcast, I (Eric) talk a lot about what it's been like since leaving my secure job as a pastor at one of the top 5 largest churches in North America. From how my personality influences my perspective to things I would say to someone in my situation and even how it's impacting our marriage I'm sharing a very real and raw look into life right now! This episode, more than many others, will make you feel like you're sitting down in the kitchen with us for a deep dive into the realities of going without a job, hustling for work, providing for a family, and facing some real fears in identity. If you or someone you know has gone through the loss of a job or is in one now, share this episode with them. They will be encouraged, filled with hope, and love that they aren't the only ones going through the range of emotions. Want to get exclusive content no one else gets?

Plus two bonus hacks you'll thank the heavens you stuck around for. This whole series has been all about us sharing what we do and how we do it.
