In this week’s episode the intentional team walks through goals vs values and why the main goal of being a passionate Jesus follower is the key foundation for life and how behavior and attitude follows.

| 23 Aug 2023 | Bullies, mean girls, and creating an environment of safety, not judgment | 00:47:10 | |
Mean girls are not just in the movies. Today, Diane and Elizabeth talk about bullies, in particular mean girls. Our culture tolerates a level of speech towards one another that we have never seen before, especially online. It's everywhere, from prominent leaders to our families and children. The culture our children are navigating through is tricky, and the method of killing them with kindness doesn't always work. Diane and Elizabeth share some wisdom about what to do if your daughter is facing a mean girl. What does it look like to follow Christ and also draw boundaries? How do we teach our daughters to hold space for empathy so they can see that there is a story behind each mean girl? And finally, how can we teach our daughters to forgive the mean girl or bully even if repairing the relationship isn't possible? We hope this conversation today will help you navigate the problematic relationships that your daughters will encounter at some point. Enjoy!

| 06 Apr 2023 | The Intentional Motherhood Retreat | 00:02:41 | |
How long has it been since someone- anyone- poured into you?
How long has it been since your soul brimmed so full of beauty, hope, healing, and joy that every jolt of real-life motherhood spilled overflowing abundance onto those you love?
We know the answer: too long, if ever. As a mom, you give and give and give, until there’s nothing left.
We want to invite you to join us for a three-day retreat of being given to. We know (and live) the beautiful challenge of motherhood. We know the feelings of aloneness, of inadequacy, of fear— of weariness— that so often weigh us down in the midst of all it means to be a mother.
We’ve designed this retreat with your needs in mind. Your need for connection with like-minded women, your need for the gentleness of spiritual formation, and ultimately, your need to be strengthened for the task of motherhood.
Come to where we live, in Bend, Oregon— surrounded by snowcapped mountains, with rivers and trails and alpine lakes— a place of startling beauty. A place to come away from it all. Come with your best friend, your sister, your mom— come together or come alone.
It was Dallas Willard who said, “If you don’t come apart for a while, you’ll come apart after a while.”
So come! Come apart for a while with us. Come, planning to be surprised by God, to find in Him the delight your soul craves.
Join us October 5th-7th 2023 in Bend OR

| 30 Jun 2023 | Fatherlessness (Interview with Josh White) | 01:20:11 | |
On today's show, Brook interviews Lead Pastor, Songwriter, and author Josh White. Josh White lives in Portland, Oregon, with his wife and two kids and leads a beautiful church called Door of Hope; he has been in the music industry from a young age and has just released his first book, Stumbling Toward Eternity (see the link below). In this conversation, Brook and Josh explore Josh's childhood wounds, from bullying to becoming a parent as a child to his younger brother. This interview is full of depth and profound one-liners. Josh has a story of how God captivated his heart and shifted his life and his family's life in a way that shows the power of God on display from one generation to the next. Josh explores how he learned to be a Dad when he didn't have a healthy father relationship to base his parenting on. He also shares a moving story about how God softened his heart toward his Dad and how God revealed what honoring his father meant in his specific situation. You won't want to miss this episode's fun and touching ending. We hope you enjoy this show today!

| 05 Mar 2024 | The Intentional Motherhood Retreat 2024 | 00:01:39 | |
How long has it been since someone- anyone- poured into you?
In 2023, over 600 mothers gathered together to learn, to worship, to grow, to encourage, and to be encouraged. We are still in awe of what God did!
The Spirit moved, the Father spoke, and Jesus healed. It was so incredible that we can’t wait to do it again!
We want to invite you to join us October 3rd - 5th, 2024, for a three-day retreat designed to pour into you.
We know the task of motherhood is both beautiful and hard, life giving and exhausting, and we want to create a space for the Spirit to refresh you on your journey.
We will press into how motherhood gently leads us to spiritual formation, how relationships are essential for the journey, and how our connection with God spills over to our connection with our families.
Come to where we live, in Bend, Oregon… a place of startling beauty, a place to come away from it all.
Come with your best friend, your sister, your mom— come together, or come alone.
This is a retreat for any stage of motherhood you find yourself in… from mothers of infants to grandmothers and women who hope to be mothers someday. There will be something for all of you! We all need each other!
We truly believe that the greatest gift you can give your children, young and old, is your transforming self.
It was Dallas Willard who said, “If you don’t come apart for a while, you’ll come apart after a while.”
So come! Come apart for a while with us. Come, planning to be surprised by God, to find in Him the delight your soul craves.

| 26 Jul 2023 | Depression, anxiety, praying over our children, and the transition from kids to teens (Q+R) | 00:51:14 | |
In today's show, we respond to some of your great questions. We cover praying over your children, what it looks like, and what it doesn't look like. We discuss how easy it can be to use prayer to manipulate our children into the version we hope to see more of in them. We dive into some helpful and practical tips on praying over our children that you can start doing today! The second question we respond to is connected to the first because so much of parenting comes down to the connection between God and our children, the relationship between parents and their children, and sibling to sibling, to name a few. We talk about practicing truth and love with our kids to build trust and respect in our connection with them. We explore the difference between discipline and punishment and why being willing to be the bad guy sometimes as a parent is essential. Also, some funny stories in today's show illustrate our responses to these excellent questions. We hope you laugh and learn and find room for grace as you practice these tips in your families. Enjoy!

| 26 Apr 2023 | Suffering, Prayer, and How to teach your kids to Talk to God (Interview with Strahan Coleman) | 01:11:00 | |
Today we have Strahan Coleman on the show. Strahan is a writer, spiritual director, and award-winning musician from New Zealand. In this rich conversation, Brook and Strahan discuss chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and how to find a vibrant faith amidst these challenges. They talk about the importance of shifting our prayer lives from following a prayer formula and seeking to perform for God to prayers that are intimate and purely about beholding the presence of God. In Strahan’s words, “Prayer equals nakedness with God.” They also discuss the constant noise in our culture and why bringing the volume down in our homes is essential. Strahan shares with Brook some practical ways he teaches his kids to hear from God. He gives us an inside view of his intentionality in teaching his kids to bring their heart posture to a constant awareness and integration of God in their everyday lives. We hope you enjoy this interview.

| 10 May 2023 | How to Discern God’s Will and The False Self | 01:30:42 | |
In today’s show, we talk about the different processes by which we make decisions. We make decisions every day, and sometimes they can be life-changing. Our culture tells us one way, but as followers of Jesus, how do we discern God’s will with the choices that come our way? We break down three different ways people make decisions: The way of Logic, The ignition way, and The way of discernment. We share some real-life stories where we learned the hard way and explore the lessons from those experiences. We dive into practical ways to help you navigate the discerning process. We cover topics such as how our egos or false self can affect our decision-making abilities and how some may have misconceptions about suffering related to God’s will for our lives. Today, we ask a couple of essential questions that can help you uncover some patterns that may make you stuck; What do I believe about God, and Does he want the best for me and my family? We also discuss balancing our feelings while not letting our emotions rule our decisions. We have been working thoughtfully to develop a process to help our own family make big decisions and discern God’s will for our lives. We genuinely hope these nine steps bless and assist you as you walk through your moments of discernment that arise. This process takes time, and we hope to encourage you to practice these steps slowly.

| 14 Jun 2023 | Measuring up, our mental committee, I should’s, the impossible mother, and shepherding our homes | 01:02:23 | |
Today's show talks about five ways moms are called to be shepherds in their homes. We define what a Shepherd is and what it looks like for moms of all ages. Our conversation circles around some vital elements like mom guilt, God's sovereignty, guarding what God has entrusted to you, pursuing wholeness, and continuing to grow in each stage of motherhood. As moms, it is easy to feel like we have to do this all perfectly, and if we don't, we are messing up our children. Still, we invite you into this conversation today to pause and consider a different perspective of walking toward transformation instead of perfection. It's a journey of holding your kid's hands as you walk closer to your Father in heaven and bringing your children along the walk. The five steps we discuss today are trusting in the sovereign God, Heeding the shepherd's call, Embracing obscurity, pursuing an integral life, and cultivating leadership competency. We hope you enjoy this episode today! Follow us on Instagram:

| 12 Dec 2024 | Why Unmet Expectations, Grief, Complaining and Entitlement are Destroying Your Life | 01:00:25 | |
On the show today, Brook and Elizabeth and Phil and Diane talk about complaining. They unpack how complaining often masks deeper issues like grief, unmet expectations, or a lack of acceptance. True lament invites God into our pain, helping us process grief without getting stuck, while godliness with contentment reorients our perspective. By repenting of entitlement, embracing suffering as part of our calling, and teaching others, including our children, to lament with God, we grow in faith and resilience. Enjoy!

| 02 Aug 2023 | Miscarriage, loss, and the aftermath (Interview with Ryan and Annie Miller) | 00:55:05 | |
In today's show, we have the privilege of talking to a beautiful couple, our friends Ryan and Annie Miller, about a challenging and sensitive subject. Ryan and Annie started a non-profit called Share the Struggle. Share The Struggle is a non-profit organization that seeks to showcase God's redemptive power through media. This ministry began out of a profoundly sorrowful experience of the miscarriage of their first baby. As they walked through this trauma, it became clear that so many couples were silently grieving this same loss. They found that this trauma was not being talked about nearly enough, even though 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage, leaving many couples suffering alone, especially women. Today's conversation is raw and super helpful if you have experienced a miscarriage or if you know someone who has. We go into practical help, like, things you do not want to say to someone going through a miscarriage as well as what words and actions are beneficial. We are so grateful for our friends and their ministry and all the tools they provide. We know this subject is deeply felt by many, and we hope this conversation brings help and healing. Enjoy!

| 16 Aug 2023 | Testing boundaries, catastrophic fear, and homeschooling | 01:11:09 | |
The whole crew is here today to answer more of your thoughtful questions. We cover topics like what to do when your kids test the boundaries with grandparents or other caregivers. We tease out some tricky elements like the parent's role and the grandparent's role in these situations. We also answer the question, how do we deal with catastrophic fears in parenting? We dive into the root of fears and turn to the Bible for wisdom about what God says about anxiety and our troubles. We differentiate concerns from true evil and learn how to listen and support a friend when fears arise. The last topic we cover today is homeschooling. We talk about the good and the complex parts of homeschooling, practical ways to homeschool multiple kids at once, and how setting your expectations can make or break your school year. We hope this episode brings hope and practical help to you and your family. Enjoy!

| 13 Nov 2024 | Daily Habits, Formation, Why Did God Create My Kids, and Authority | 01:00:12 | |
Join us today as Brook, Phil, and Diane discuss their best daily habits. Spoiler alert: it’s reading their Bibles each day. Some stories and reflections are shared today about how God has transformed each of them over the years by reading the scriptures daily. Reading the Bible is not meant to be legalistic; God’s heart is an invitation, wanting to bless, meet, and help you. To keep it simple, they break it down into five different ways to read the scriptures. Enjoy! 5 different ways to read the scriptures: *First, find a place you like to be in where you won't be interrupted. You may have to wake up earlier for this, so don’t forget your journal. 1) Read Prayerfully 2) Read Carefully 3) Read Humbly 4) Read Expectantly 5) Read Joyfully Follow us on Instagram: FREE TEXT Message Daily Devotional MERCH: Grab a copy of our book: Raising Passionate Jesus Followers (Now available in audiobook!) | |||

Today we are starting a mini-series on gender roles in marriage. Recently Brook was asked to do a teaching on the topic of gender roles in marriage, and this launched us into the idea of talking more about the subject. We all have different expectations coming into marriages, whether from media, our family of origin, or even our other friend's marriages. We will cover what did God initially intended for gender roles in marriage? How have men and women corrupted that good? What has Jesus done to redeem gender roles? We will also cover six questions for husbands to ask themselves and six questions for wives to ask themselves to see how this is playing out in their marriage. Enjoy!

On today’s show, we are asking some questions to get us thinking about conflict in a helpful way. What does conflict bring up internally for us and What do we do when we are overwhelmed with the feelings that surround conflict? We not only take a deep dive into what we feel when conflict arises but also how to see others in the conflict and how it affects them. When we interact with each of our relationships we are not just interacting with the person, but also with their story and their woundings. We hope today’s show helps you get a little more curious, have a little more compassion, and bring in a little more calm. Enjoy!
3 Ways people often handle or respond to conflict: 1) Attack 2) Ignore 3) Manage
3 Things to ask yourself: 1) Be curious about what is coming up 2) Have Compassion for yourself 3) Calmness

| 31 Jan 2024 | Anger, triggers and being at your wit’s end (Replay) | 01:18:50 | |
Today we are covering the topic of one of the eight primary emotions, anger. Anger reveals what matters to us- both good and not good. Anger becomes a warning signal, compelling humble people to look inside to identify what emotion they are experiencing and why. Fear? Hurt? Sadness? Resentment? Anger is possibly the most important feeling we experience as emotional and spiritual beings because it is the first step to authentic living. It shows our yearnings and hunger for life. We will also cover five ways to start working on being aware of your anger and how to live in the power of the Spirit. Enjoy!

| 27 Apr 2022 | Post-traumatic growth, your superpower, and what God does with our trauma | 01:02:15 | |
Make no doubt: trauma shakes up our world and forces us to take another look at our cherished goals and dreams. We tend to rely on a particular set of beliefs and assumptions about the benevolence and controllability of the world and God, and traumatic events typically shatter that worldview as we become shaken from our ordinary perceptions. Today we walk through seven areas of growth that spring from adversity and how God uses our suffering and trauma to give us what we need most. The seven areas are: 1 Greater appreciation of life, 2 Greater appreciation, and strengthening of close relationships, 3 Increased compassion, 4 The identification of new possibilities or a purpose in life, 5 Greater awareness of personal strengths, 6 Creative growth, 7 Enhanced spiritual development.

| 26 Feb 2025 | The Life-Long Journey of Healing from Generational Trauma, Eternal Perspective and the Power of “But God” (Interview with Sally Lemos, MS, LPC) | 00:55:37 | |
This week, we welcomed Sally Lemos, MS, LPC back on the show for a continued conversation around generational trauma, this time focused on the path to healing. Drawing from her own history of significant childhood trauma, Sally walked us through what it can look like to find healing and restoration, offering a raw account of her transition from denial and blame to naming and claiming. Sally’s healing process didn’t involve a clean, step-by-step checklist, but rather an openness to the One who saves — the One who provided resources and people to sit with her in the pain. We delve into the crucial aspects of healing, emphasizing the importance of recognizing when professional intervention is necessary and the need to avoid spiritual bypassing. Sally stresses that genuine healing demands personal transformation before one can effectively support others, and that it is a lifelong process. Together, we looked to heaven as the ultimate source of comfort, knowing that keeping an eternal perspective will give us strength in the midst of present struggles. Our conversation with Sally was raw, vulnerable and filled with hope — as again and again, we returned to the comforting reality: “But God.” NOTE: Please be advised the topics discussed in this show may not be suitable for younger audiences; please use your discretion when watching or listening.

| 27 Mar 2024 | Parenting Through Emotions, Navigating the "I Feel, Therefore I Am Culture" and The Power of Emotions as God-Given Tools | 01:08:41 | |
Dallas Willard said it so well when he said, “Feelings are good servants, but they are disastrous masters.” We live in the “I feel, therefore I am” culture and no longer live in truth. In today’s show, we discuss how our emotions are tools given to us by God. God values emotions and feelings, but we must have them in the right order. We discuss how parenting is a space where emotions come up often, not just for our kids but for us as parents. We go over six big emotions that arise within us and our children, and then we explore different ways to relate to these emotions. Enjoy!
6 Big emotions: 1) Jealousy 2) Fear 3) Anger 4) Grief 5) Guilt 6) Anxiety
4 Things we all need as humans: 1) Focused attention 2) Acceptance 3) Guidance 4) Protection

Get ready for today’s podcast! Wow do we have a fun interview for you. We recently interviewed Jon Tyson who is a Pastor and Church planter in New York City. He has also recently developed an amazing tool called The Primal Path. We walk through the historical fact that up until this point in time most societies have had a recognizable pathway into man hood and currently most modern cultures do not. How does that fact effect our young men? What path should our sons be on to become men of consequence? How do we as fathers become intentional fathers? The Primal Path helps overwhelmed but determined fathers raise sons of consequence and the Primal Path has 4 main parts, Preparation, Initiation, Formation, and Recognition. Fathers you especially do not want to miss this episode. Enjoy!

| 26 Jan 2022 | To vaccinate or not to vaccinate, is that the only question? | 00:43:56 | |
Many of you have asked us how to navigate this conversation with family, friends, and acquaintances. Jesus was clear about the way of love, and this isn't the first time in history when there have been strong disagreements. We talk through three ways to have these conversations and prioritize the way of Jesus and others. We touch on the need to turn to each other, not against each other, to hear each other with compassion, not judgment, and we need to sacrificially help each other through this challenging time, not withdraw into self-centered seclusion. Enjoy!

They walk through the nine reasons Church is so important for you, your family, and your flourishing. But if we are honest, Church is messy, and people are HARD.

We have Michael Handler, the Chief Innovation Officer at Awana, on today's show. Brook and Michael talked about becoming emotionally healthy and safe parents when this was not the model they grew up knowing. Michael reminds us that Christ is in the business of redeeming our stories and how God often uses our children in this formation process. In this conversation, you will hear about how multigenerational churches are a gift, how it's essential, to be honest about your story while honoring your parents, how our children can be a mirror to help us gain understanding, how hurt can become our identity, how we can give our children safety even if we never experienced it and how when we bring our children safety God can use it to provide us with the safety we may not have received.

| 20 Apr 2022 | The Origin Story: The Intentional Film Series | 01:01:33 | |
It’s out!!!! The Intentional Film Series launches today! For quite some time it has been the dream of the Intentional to be able to invite anyone and everyone to learn how to raise the next generation of passionate Jesus followers. Though none of us claim to know it all— not even close!— this message has been the heartbeat of our calling for over four decades. Starting with very little understanding of how to pass a vibrant, compelling faith on to our children, we have now spent the better part of our lives listening, learning, researching, studying, and practicing what we teach in “The Intentional Film Series”. Will you join the generations of Jesus followers who have taken God’s words seriously— to intentionally make disciples of your own children, who in turn will make disciples of the next generation? Will you teach your sons and daughters to know Jesus intimately and follow Him faithfully? We hope The Intentional Film Series, Raising Passionate Jesus Followers, will help in what is your greatest calling. Enjoy!

| 06 Sep 2023 | Essentials for Parenthood: Consecration | 00:53:07 | |
Consecration is a blessing for you, your family, and generations to come. It's a beautiful gift you can give your family. In today's Show, Phil and Brook break down what consecration means and what it looks like to live a life consecrated to God. They get honest about how it is so easy not to live this way and how we can push against the current culture to move closer to holiness. Life is hard, and we all find things that help us cope or soothe our pain, but it leads us away from consecration and brings us more pain. Brook and Phil squash any elements of shame in this process and bring hope through small, practical ways when we choose little acts of obedience daily. A common theme of this episode circles around the truth that when you give up more of yourself and live a consecrated life, you receive more of God's spirit, which helps you continue to live a holy life and receive His blessings. This work of consecration is so important because what we don't deal with becomes a trap for our children. It is our responsibility to stop sin and release blessings to our children. May this be a part of your legacy in your family? Enjoy! Three things that make up the idea of consecration:
1)Cleansing 2)Sacrificing 3)Dedication
3 Reasons that hold us back from Consecration:
1)Compromise 2)Carelessness 3)Cowardess Follow us on Instagram:

Today, we are diving into the waters of resentment, the pleasure principle, and what happens when we operate from a place of busyness and not rest.

| 20 Dec 2023 | Creating a Culture of Connection, Expectations, and the Phonetic Pace at Christmas | 01:02:45 | |
In today’s show, we have Diane, Elizabeth, and Sally Lemos Lpc sharing a conversation about Christmas and all the expectations and pressures that can come up. So often, we strive to do everything, but do we know why we are doing everything? Is it to perform for others or even to prove something to ourselves? It’s so easy to make Christmas about what we want instead of focusing on something far more important: how we make others around us feel. We hope this conversation feels like you are sitting with Sally, Diane, and Elizabeth as they dive into some great stories of missing the mark and how it led them to ask these three helpful yet challenging questions: 1. How do we not miss this Christmas? 2. Who or how do I want to be? 3. What kind of culture am I trying to create? Merry Christmas and Enjoy!

| 21 Jun 2023 | Emotional neglect, being reparented and how to get what we need most | 01:17:34 | |
Today we cover the critical topic of not getting what we need as we are growing up. We cover emotional neglect, trauma, and how we recover. We talk through what happens when others accept us. Acceptance of who you are, acceptance of your idiosyncrasies, your bents, your personality. Then we cover focused attention and the idea that maybe you never received the needed attention, but God is waiting and can’t wait to give you all of his. We also cover how God gives us direction and especially moral guidance as we slow down long enough to listen, and lastly, we discuss how God truly protects us. Enjoy!
The four ways are: 1. Acceptance 2. Focused attention 3. Guidance 4. Protection

Phil+Diane and Brook+Elizabeth respond to a few great questions in today's show. First, they talk about what to do when you feel overwhelmed with the load God has given you. Do you constantly feel like you are living outside of your capacity with no margin? Secondly, they discuss how to navigate the subject of death with your kids. This can be a tough subject when your kids feel afraid and even harder when you, as a parent, have fears around death, too. Lastly, they respond to a question about fathers cultivating a vision for their family and what to do if you never had a good father to show you how to do that for your family. This episode has loads of hope to share! Enjoy!

| 16 Apr 2025 | Character, Dying to Self in Marriage + Modeling Biblical Manhood (Interview with Kirk Cameron) | 00:52:37 | |
This week, Brook sits down with actor, author, and producer Kirk Cameron for a powerful conversation about faith, marriage, and what it means to live as a man of God. While many remember Kirk from his prominent roles in the Growing Pains TV series and the Left Behind films, his story goes far beyond the screen. He shares how a shift from atheism to Christianity as a teenager altered the trajectory of his life, leading him to become a devoted husband, father of six, and now a grandfather. We talk about Kirk’s new kids’ show, Iggy and Mr. Kirk, streaming on BRAVE+, created to offer low-stimulation, character-focused content in a world full of noise. Kirk also shares rich wisdom on marriage, describing it as “a school you enroll in to learn how to die to yourself.” He challenges the cultural narrative that marriage is about happiness, reframing it as a path to holiness and covenantal love. Kirk dropped this memorable alliteration when it comes to marriage: “If you focus on rights, you’ll promote rebellion. But if you focus on responsibilities, you create the conditions for revival.” The episode closes with a meaningful reflection on biblical manhood — how to model it for our sons, even if we didn’t have it modeled for us. Kirk points to meekness as a defining trait: strength and power, willingly submitted to the authority of God. This episode is packed with truth, encouragement, and clarity for anyone striving to live and lead with purpose. Don’t miss it!
