Rhythms for Life

Welcome back to another episode of the Rhythms For Life podcast! In this installment, Gabe and Rebekah sit down with author and friend Dr. Emerson Eggerichs. Emerson and his wife, Sarah, have been such a steady source of wisdom and grace in so many marriages over the years, and this conversation is one every couple needs to hear—especially if you feel like you’re just managing life rather than truly connecting.

In this episode, they tackle the sobering reality that sometimes, the greatest enemy of a great marriage isn't something bad—it’s the good things. They talk about how saying yes to too many noble commitments can slowly turn a vibrant partnership into a roommate dynamic filled with drift and resentment. Emerson shares his signature wisdom (and plenty of laughter!), teaching us how to find our way back to one another and stay guarded against the subtle divisions that can pull us apart.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

The Trap of the Good: Why saying yes to every noble opportunity might actually be the thing that ruins your connection.

From Partners to Roommates: Identifying the subtle drift and undercurrent of resentment that happens when we stop truly hearing one another.

The Power of Mentorship: Why every couple needs models of faithfulness to look up to as they navigate different seasons.

Laughter as Medicine: How being able to cry and laugh together helps us see the humanity in our spouse again.

Just Stop It: A lighthearted look at breaking the cycle of negative patterns and choosing a better rhythm for your home.

Whether you’re in a season of flourishing or feeling a bit of that distance, this conversation should encourage you to tend to the heart of your relationship today.

Welcome back to the Rhythms For Life podcast! In this episode, Gabe and Rebekah are joined by author, minister, and longtime friend, John Bevere. As global headlines grow increasingly complex, Gabe and Rebekah sit down with John to discuss how Christian couples can lead their homes with peace rather than fear.

Drawing from his deep study of Scripture and the Awe of God, John helps navigate the biblical significance of current events in the Middle East and why the early church viewed prophecy as an invitation to gather and prepare. This conversation is an essential anchor for any couple looking to build a resilient family rhythm centered on God’s sovereignty and an eternal perspective.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

The Purpose of Prophecy: Why God uses prophetic scripture to keep His people alert and how the early church practiced prophecy meals to stay connected to His word.

Navigating Global Uncertainty: A grounded look at the Middle East and how to process the news through a lens of faith rather than anxiety.

Leading the Dinner Table: Practical wisdom for parents and couples on bringing spiritual conversations back to the center of the home.

The Awe of God: Moving beyond a casual faith into a holy reverence that settles the soul and provides true direction.

Living Unshaken: How to cultivate a legacy of faithfulness that stands strong regardless of the cultural climate.

Whether you’re feeling the weight of the world’s uncertainty or looking for ways to strengthen your family’s spiritual foundation, this episode offers the clarity and encouragement needed for the days ahead.

Welcome back to the Rhythms For Life podcast! In this episode, Gabe and Rebekah sit down with their longtime friend, bestselling author, and Founder/Visionary of Gather. With a friendship spanning nearly 15 years, they dive into a timely conversation about where the church is headed and the radical movements of God happening right now.

This conversation explores the heart of Jennie’s newest book, The Lie You Don't Know You Believe, which addresses the specific spiritual attacks of our day and the freedom found on the other side of truth. From witnessing campus revivals to hearing raw stories of transformation through baptism, Jennie shares her perspective on why this so-called “dark” generation is actually more desperate and open to the Gospel than ever before.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

The Power of Desperation: Why spiritual hunger is the essential ingredient for the unique outpourings of the Holy Spirit we are seeing today.

A Pre-Christian Generation: How Gen Z is shifting from "post-church" to "pre-Christian," encountering the story of Jesus for the very first time without the baggage of deconstruction.

From Darkness to Light: Radical stories of grace, including the baptisms of former atheists, practitioners of witchcraft, and those coming out of the juvenile justice system.

Manifestations of the Spirit: Jennie's personal reflections on the physical manifestations of God's nearness and the theological wrestling that comes with witnessing revival.

Identifying the Lie: How to recognize the "darkness pouring in" and how the simple, beautiful story of Jesus remains the answer to the collapse of everything around us.

We’ve all been in those seasons where marriage feels a little more like a foreign language than a dance. Maybe you feel like you’re the only one putting in the effort, or perhaps you’ve discovered your spouse’s love language, but your efforts still seem to be missing the mark.

Today, Gabe and Rebekah sit down with a true legend, Dr. Gary Chapman. You know him as the author of The 5 Love Languages, but in this interview he takes a step deeper into his newest project, The Love Language That Matters Most. He shares how understanding the unique dialects of love can be the key to finally making your partner feel truly seen and known.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

Love as an Attitude: Why biblical love begins with a choice to enrich your partner’s life rather than waiting for a specific feeling.

The Power of Influence: Understanding that while you cannot change your spouse, you have the power to influence them every single day through your own actions.

The Six-Month Experiment: A powerful real-life story of a marriage on the brink of divorce that was completely restored through consistent, one-sided love.

The Three Transformative Questions: The practical habit Gary used to save his own marriage: What can I do to help you? How can I make your life easier? How can I be a better spouse to you?.

Learning the Dialects: How to move past the basics of the 5 Love Languages to discover the specific nuances that make your spouse feel most seen.

Whether your marriage is thriving or you’re in a hard season of feeling lost in translation, this episode is filled with the practical grace and wisdom we all need to fight for one another well.

Welcome back to this brand new season of the Rhythms For Life podcast! Freshly thawed from the ice storm that hit Nashville a couple weeks ago, Gabe and Rebekah welcome their longtime friend, global speaker, and prolific author, Christine Caine. As she approaches her 60th birthday, Christine shares her inspiring 60 at 60 challenge: committing to 60 new experiences to keep her brain and spirit thriving.

This conversation dives deep into the heart of Christine’s new book, The Faith to Flourish, which explores the profound spiritual symbolism of the olive tree. Together, they discuss how to move from a season of "languishing" to one of flourishing, drawing wisdom from the life of David and the resilience of the sacred olive trees in Athens.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

The 60 at 60 Challenge: Christine’s recent adventures in Alaska, including sleeping in an igloo and dog sledding, and why novelty is essential for a thriving brain

The Sacred Olive Tree: The moment in Athens that shifted Christine’s perspective on faith and endurance.

Flourishing in the Cave: How David’s words in Psalm 52:8 provide a roadmap for staying positive and fruitful even when life feels like a crisis.
