And if I can get my significance and my identity in who I am in him, I now get to show up and

show love and affection to my kids, show love and affection to my wife out of that without

trying to find significance anywhere else.

And even if Christie's coming at me with her arrows,

I know where I'm grounded and rooted and I can say, listen, I can be humble enough to go,

I really wasn't the best there. And I'm sorry. Will you forgive me? Well, that's Dr. Josh Straub,

describing how to prioritize relationships in your family, even in the midst of a career and busy schedules and everything else you're trying to juggle every day.

We're featuring Josh and his wife, Christy, today on Focus on the Family with Jim Daly.

Thanks for joining us. I'm John Fuller.

John, I don't think anybody wakes up in the morning and decides I'm going to ruin my marriage today, neglect my kids, undermine the stability of my home. It's just not what you're intending to do. But man, out of control, busyness and all the challenges in life, it kind of looks like sometimes that's the goal. And I get it. I mean, I'm traveling a lot. Thankfully,

Gene's able to travel with me a bit more now that our boys are kind of self-sustaining. And,

you know, that's a good, good time of life to be. But I can remember all those trips. And

Gene just grabbed me saying, man, I need more of your time here at home. And I had to hear that and

listen to that and slow down a bit. So, you know, this is part of what we want to talk about today

because it's so critical in creating a healthy home, not a perfect home, a healthy home.

Yeah, yeah. And we have great help and insights from Josh and Christy Straub. They're popular authors, speakers, and leadership coaches.

And they're in the trenches.

They've got three children at home.

And together they've written a book called Famous at Home,

seven decisions to put your family's center stage in a world competing for your time, attention, and identity.

And, of course, we have details about the Straubes and this great book at our website,

and the link is in the show notes.
