Snack Time with Justin and Clarissa

In this episode Justin and Carissa touch on the four key areas (spiritual, physical, mental, emotional) that they focus on in their own personal growth. They each give some insight to a few things they attempt to do while working on improving themselves in these categories. Without even coming close to perfection, putting some intentional time and thought into how to improve oneself in these areas will help relationships and teamwork in marriages, parenting, and in the workplace.

Justin and Clarissa sit down with friends, Troy and Christa McNichols, to discuss parenting at different stages. Troy and Christa currently have all adult children in their 20's and give an insight to what that new parenting stage looks like. They also give some great tips and thoughts about raising young kids as well as how big of a role the church has played in the development of their children.

Clarissa and Justin talk about the reminders they give each other and the boys about how they are all on the "Same Team". There are a few things that Clarissa and Justin do in order to continue to build and work on their own "Team".

Clarissa and Justin talk about Christmas and all the things that were just not meant to be. After the feeling of disappointment, they take a positive look back at some of the things that each other did well in 2021.

Lights are always a big hit in this house. From the Christmas lights this season to the daily use of flashlights, they all get a reaction. Clarissa and Justin talk about how light plays a big role in their home and how that ties into this Christmas season, celebrating the birth of the Light of the World.

Clarissa and Justin share some of their favorite Christmas traditions growing up as well as some of the ones that they have implemented now with their own family. They talk about ways to get kids to understand what Christmas is truly about and the stress that comes during this season due to expectations.

Clarissa and Justin discuss how the jobs they thought they would have when they grew up differ from the current reality. While we all still get to dream and work towards a success in our current roles, we also get to plant the seeds for our children to follow their dreams!

Clarissa and Justin talk a little bit about adventure; stories of old adventures, some current adventures, and what an adventure actually is. Even some conversation about finding the victories in the losses of our adventures and the day to day hustle and bustle.
