Welcome to the Famous at Home podcast, hosted by marriage and leadership coaches Dr. Josh and Christi Straub. In a world competing for your time, attention, and identity, it’s easy to give your family the leftovers instead of the best of you.
Josh and Christi bring clarity to the rat race we live in with an honest, grace-filled, and often humorous perspective to the real-life challenges families face today. They offer practical coaching strategies you can put into practice right away to have an emotionally safe marriage, be fully present with your kids, and lead with purpose.
Each episode explores topics like marriage, parenting, emotional safety, work-life rhythms, connection, relational joy, and leading well outside the home without sacrificing the people you love most. Think of it as sitting down for coffee with friends who encourage you, challenge you, make you laugh, and help you grow.
Because the greatest red carpet you'll ever walk is through your front door!
