Live from Talent, Oregon (just outside Ashland), Danny and Brittney share insights on cultivating spiritual connection and growth in everyday family life. From hosting the presence of God with your kids in creative and playful ways to managing triggers in marriage with mature, loving responses—the conversation is rich with practical wisdom, heartfelt encouragement, and replay-worthy truths.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
How to invite God into your home in fresh, age-appropriate ways.
Why holding space for creativity and play shapes spiritual growth in kids.
How to identify—and lovingly address—when someone lacks awareness of deeper issues.
The “Kylo Five” model for regulating yourself with intention in relationships: Power, Love over Fear, Connection, Respectful Communication, and Healthy Boundaries.
How to respond to triggers with love, humility, and spiritual fuel instead of defensiveness or shame.
Key Takeaways:
Spiritual connection doesn't require perfect formats; it thrives where there's playfulness, honesty, and openness to God’s work.
Ease off “doing church everywhere.” God shows up most powerfully in everyday life when you're paying attention to your kids and how they're connecting.
Don't try to fix someone who hasn’t acknowledged a problem—scaffolding help only works when it’s invited.
Choose to respond from strength, not from pain: “My God has called me. I am prepared. I may not feel prepared—but I am.”
In conflict, say, “My goal with you is connection,” and communicate your experience first—then extend grace and set boundaries.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
