Rhythms for Life

In this episode, Gabe and Rebekah sit down with their friend Dr. Lee Warren—a neurosurgeon, Iraqi veteran, and author who understands the brain at its deepest levels. Together, they explore the fascinating intersection of faith and science, specifically how God has uniquely designed our brains to be part of our own healing and repair.

Whether you’re navigating personal anxiety or looking for ways to support your spouse through a difficult season, this conversation offers practical hope. Dr. Warren shares how we can move from being victims of our thoughts to taking agency over our mental health through what he calls "self-brain surgery"—the intentional process of re-wiring our brains to align with the sound mind God has promised us.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

Mind vs. Brain: Understanding the eternal difference between your physical brain and your soul-led mind.

The Art of Self-Brain Surgery: How changing your thoughts for just a few minutes can literally create new hardware and synaptic connections in your brain.

Agency Over Your Story: Why you aren't stuck with your genetics, past traumas, or personality scores, but have the power to build a new brain.

Scripture for Mental Health: How to apply truths like 2 Timothy 1:7 and 2 Corinthians 4 to find peace and flourishing in the middle of a crisis.

In a world that constantly tells us more is better, Gabe and Rebekah welcome longtime friend, simplicity expert, and prolific author Joshua Becker to the conversation. As the founder of Becoming Minimalist, Joshua has spent over 15 years helping people realize that our possessions don't just take up physical space—they often take up the time and mental energy we were meant to give to our families and our faith.

This conversation dives deep into the heart of Joshua’s new book, Uncluttered Faith, which explores how the practice of owning less can free us spiritually. Together, they discuss the maintenance trap of modern life and how clearing the clutter allows us to finally hear God’s voice clearly again. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed by your home or just longing for more presence in your marriage, this episode provides a roadmap to help you choose Becker’s Great Pearl over the distractions of the world.

Gabe and Rebekah welcome their longtime friends and marriage experts, Doctors Les and Leslie Parrott. As the co-founders of eHarmony and New York Times bestselling authors, they have spent their lives fighting for the health of relationships in a culture where marriage is often challenged.

In this conversation, they dive into their game-changing new project with Gary Chapman, The Love Language That Matters Most. While many are familiar with the five love languages, the Parrotts take a step deeper into the “dialects"—the specific nuances that help you move past the guessing game and hit the bullseye of your spouse's heart.

From navigating the pressures of cultural advice to rediscovering how research backs up biblical wisdom, this episode is an invitation to move from languishing to true connection in your most important relationship.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

The State of Marriage Today: Why there is a reason for optimism and hope for lifelong love, even as cultural trends shift.

Love Languages 2.0: How identifying your specific dialect provides a shortcut to making your spouse feel truly seen and loved.

The TikTok Trap: Why following general social media evangelists can lead to unnecessary pressure and how to find guardrails for your relationship instead.

Real-Life Breakthroughs: A personal look at how shifting from encouragement to compliments changed the rhythm of the Lyons’s own marriage connection.

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.
