Get your kids into action!

It's always on our hearts as parents to figure out how to help our children succeed in life. To give them strong morals, a strong sense of self, to show them disciplined action multiplied over time yields GREAT results! Sometimes it can feel overwhelming and frustrating to guide these tiny humans day in and day out, and when you have a lot of them, that can also multiply!

Our hearts desire was to have a healthy, vibrant family of thriving individuals and after some trial and error we are FINALLY seeing the fruit of our efforts!

We came up with a chart for our boys that we hope will bless you too!

Keeping your marriage hot

Together is better.

“A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.”

‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬ ‭NLT‬‬

5 C's to Keeping your Marriage HOT!

1. Create something together that can only be accomplished with both of you.

What things can you do together that can only exist because you do them together?

Any time together is great, but true value is found in mutual energy and investment of that energy to create a strong marriage bond, that’s great for you both.

2. Cheerlead & celebrate one another- People need reward, respect, recognition.

There shouldn’t be competition in marriage but collective growth together.

3. Come to the table- spend time together around the dinner table.

Make time together to gather together around a good meal and conversation, going through the highs and lows of their days.

4. Company- enjoying each other’s company and being in each other’s presence.

You choose to it down.

You choose to be together.

You choose to make time.

You choose to invest time in each other without distractions.

You choose to put phones down and look each other in the eyes.

Every time you say yes to something, you’re saying no to something else.

Don’t allow yourself to be distracted. When you’re with your person, be with your person.

Choose to marry your spouse every day over and over again.

- - Gran Crouch

You have to choose to invest in your spouse again and again, day after day.

5. Kiss- pucker up!

Kissing is so healthy and physical touch is so necessary for a healthy marriage.

It creates close connection & releases endorphins for you both! It creates a healthy mindset around marriage for your kids and sets the tone for what to expect. They grow up seeing healthy marriage and you give them a healthy view of what’s possible.

It takes work, effort and selflessness but that’s what we should aspire to reach together for our kids!

Two separate flames become one and take on a life of its own to burn brighter, stronger and HOTTER than ever before.

Marriage was never meant to be something that we have to struggle to deal with or work to just get through. It was meant to be the center of our joy with our person here on earth! When we marry two become one, but sadly in this day and age two are largely still functioning like two.

Our goal with this podcast is to inspire you to go home and love your spouse well! Ask some pertinent questions about who they are, what they need, how you can fill those gaps and love them the way they need it.

If you've not listened to our podcast before we are KEEN on taking action! What's the point of listening if you can't do something with it?
Today's 5 R's are:

Respect- it's not just a catchy song, it should be the way you operate inside of you marriage!
Rise to the Ocassion or RALLY! They call it a rally cry for a reason! Rally around your person and rise to the occasion before the occasion rises.
Recognition- how you see your person when they might feel unseen matters. Call out the good before it even happens and speak as if it's already so! The power of life OR death is in the tongue, so speak life!
Respond to their needs- find out their personality type, their goals, their love language and respond accordingly.
Romance- this is last because if you follow steps 1-4, number 5 will just roll on in by itself. You have to take care of the foundation before you paint the outside of the house, because when the foundation cracks, the paint color doesn't matter.

Words of wisdom from our sweet grannies.
"If you want your wife to look young and pretty, don't give her a reason to look old and worn down."
- Gran Crouch- devoted wife & mother of FOURTEEN!

"The key to power is GIVING."-Granny Goose- wife, mother & woman of GREAT faith

WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!

We are lovingly referring to baby number five as Cinco because not only is this baby number five, our baby is due on May 5th, Cinco de Mayo, which also happens to be my beloved late mother's birthday. This is a date that has been etched on my heart since the beginning of time.

And it has always been such a special day for me (Lindsey) to celebrate her life, to be thankful for the beautiful woman she was, for her legacy, for the way that she lived, for the way that she loved to celebrate her and her life. However, it's always been a really hard day where usually I have tears of grief and sorrow because I miss her, and I would give anything to be able celebrate another year of her life. Never in a million years did I ever think that we would have a baby, a new life, a new blessing, a new joy, a new gift from God to celebrate the expectation of the arrival to be here earth side with us on that same day.

Take a listen as we dive deep into our family expansion, hear stories from Daniel's upbringing vs my own and just the gratitude we feel for getting to be parents to these tiny humans!

We have a new Instagram handle! @_gold_minds

This week on the podcast we are talking about planting your GOALS garden.

Goal setting is so important because you have to capture that 95% of your subliminal mind, which is not actively computing on a daily basis. You're thinking you're cognitive, but that latent powerhouse, that is the soil of your mind. That if you drop a seed in there and you water it and till it and you do all the things with it, it will grow into something. People perish for lack of vision. It's biblical. Proverbs 29:18.

The day that you plant the seed is not the day you harvest the fruit.

This is our three-step system for creating a beautiful bountiful goal garden.

What is your desire? What is your goal? What is a bounty for you in all of these areas?

Number one is identify what is your harvest?

Faith- unwavering faith

Family- your spouse and your children

Food- specific, measurable goals- 30g of fiber, 1 gallon of water, 150g of protein

Firm- work, something deliverable in your work that you can quantify

Finances- what do you want to see in your finances specifically- saving, investing, consistent growth of assets

Farm- your homestead, your castle, where you build a legacy in your home for your family

Fun-deep fun with friends, that’s that bring true joy

Fitness- more strength, lean muscle mass, for ladies, healthy hormones, pregnancy, mental state

What does famine in these areas look like?

Think about the worst possible scenario and your biggest fear in all of these areas that if they come to fruition how will you live?

What does death in these areas look like?

If these things all completely fell apart in your life what does that look like?

Setting your mindset, your goal, your intention on what your harvest is, what's your goal, what's your dream? What is a bountiful harvest to you writing it down, knowing what that is, Identifying the opposite. What is the death of that thing? These are the MOST important things that we use to get moving in the direction of our goals and to stay focused when the world around us gets crazy.

Today we talked about our Miracle Morning routine & how you can create one that is customized to you!

Our miracle morning strategy is based on the book Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod. In this book he breaks down the myths of what it takes to create your very own miracle morning that starts before 8 am.

Get your copy of the book here--> Books - The Miracle Morning | #1 Bestselling Author & Keynote Speaker (halelrod.com)

The formula he provides for a miracle morning is:

S is for silence.
A is for affirmations.
V is for visualization.
E is for exercise.
R is for reading.
S is for scribing.

Start everyday with warm lemon water and sea salt!

Daniel shows you how we make ours and here are some additional benefits!

7 Reasons to Start Your Day With Lemon Water:

Aids in digestion. Acid helps break down food.
Helps you stay hydrated. Most of us don't drink enough water.
Weight-loss friendly. Starts your metabolism!
Prevents oxidation.
Supplies a healthy dose of vitamin C.
Provides a potassium boost.
Helps prevent kidney stones.

We talk about our different morning routines and how we proceed through our mornings to start our days in strength, focus and energy. For our complete miracle morning checklists, subscribe to our email list to see how we, Lindsey & Daniel Crouch go about our mornings!

Today we chatted through what we believe are the 7 F's to flourish, taking your gut from a swamp to a garden to live an overall better quality of life!

We got into some of the nitty gritty details of struggle & stress behind having poor gut health, how you get there (high consumption of sugar, yeast, grains, alcohol and more), but also the tools to reverse the curse on gut health!

For the FULL breakdown make sure that you subscribe to our email list. We promise not to spam you but to provide in depth notes, downloables and insight to the things we share on our podcast!

Click here to subscribe: https://view.flodesk.com/pages/63291985d3498568abf5ea4a

The 7 F's to Flourish:

Number one is Fountain. Water is so important. Your body's like 72% water. You want to be drinking at least 0.6 times your body weight water per day. We like to do warm lemon water with a little sea salt first thing in the morning. It helps with detoxification, it helps with digestion, it helps with a little bit of vitamin C.
Number two is Fiber. The second most important thing is fiber. The average American gets on average10 grams of fiber per day. Men need 40, women need nearly 32. When you’re getting less, you don't have enough scrub brushes to scrub through your digestive tract to keep it clean. Your digestion will be impeded and slowed down which causes issues like constipation.
Number three is Fat. Fat has nine calories per gram versus a carbohydrate which has four and protein which has four. It has a lot of good energy and is a great slow burning energy. With healthy amounts of fat, you're not having the ups and downs of sugar up, sugar spike, sugar crash. Fat is very consistent, stable and essential for life! To live, cells in your body need fat.
Number four is Fasting. For most people a typical fasting window is 16:8- you fast for 16 hours, including 6-8 hours that you are sleeping and then eat in an 8-hour window. This window can be moved around based on your schedule. Some experts suggest even starting with a 12-hour one week, moving down to 10 and then to 8 so it’s an adjustment. What you’re fueling with when breaking your fast is PURE nutrition.
Number is Fungus. Yeast is a fungus. Yeast is in most baked goods. And fungus is also ever present in the atmosphere. Fungus is in the air; yeast is in the air. If you literally take a lump of anything, like food-wise, or baked goods and put it up there, it's going to attract yeast. Yeast is in the life cycle. So, yeast's job is to break things down. And that's good. You want yeast breaking things down in the foods. You want a constant cycle of life. Fungus's job is to break stuff down.
Number six is Floss. Here we are actually talking about the benefits of flossing. Your periodontal health is connected to your overall health. Your mouth is one of 6 mucous membranes in your body and it’s incredibly permeable to what crosses it. Following your meal, you want to get what’s left behind. In a high fiber diet, there is lots of crunching going on and there will be substantial food left behind.
7.) Lastly, number seven is Fitness. There is a reason that we left fitness at the very end because it’s actually the least important if your gut health is not good.

People are going to do what you do, not what you say.

The only way that you can ensure that your success can be ensured is through your follow through.

That's what we learned in this episode. Follow through, rewards & blessing have nothing to do with haphazard action but discipline, mission minded, structured, obedience. Nothing that we learn from Jesus is haphazard. Everything is planned out, structure with a mission in mind which kept him goal oriented and following a process & procedure for how God called him to live on earth.

His obedience yielded his ultimate reward from His father in Heaven. Our lives are no different. Outside of the covering and umbrella of God we will face the elements without protection. Under the covering of His love & provision, we will still face the elements, but we will be equipped to work through them in His will, in His power & the way He's called us to.

When you live with a system that creates disciplines & structure you are no longer burdened by the things that burden this world.

“My yoke is easy, my burden is light,” (Matthew 11:30) God wants to equip you and provide you a game plan for being righteous, living righteously in faith & He also creates a roadmap for raising a godly family. God created family from the very beginning, therefore He knew man would need rules to govern not only his body, his mind, his marriage, but also his family.

What does it take to reach your goals?

What does it take to know you are safe and secure, protected & living under the Lord’s protection so that you can be confident to step out in faith to pursue what He has for you?

What does it take to go after the path He’s set before you with the confidence that you’re going to succeed.

Obedience +Disciplined + structured mission minded goals = JOY+ Peace+ Growth + Freedom

Truth be told—telling this story on episode 4, our redemption story was such a full circle moment. We talk about the redemption & God's goodness from the fall of our food product business to the slow climb and intricate ways God was using what we had learned to grow something new.

When you're walking through the biggest trials and tests of your life, it can be hard to see how God is working all things out for your good & His glory?

People often ask, “How can God get the glory if I fail?” Dear friend, you only fail if you give up and stop believing that God can use you and use what you have in your hands for him in surrendered obedience and that's exactly where He had led us.

How many times have you been in the storms of life or on the other side and just feeling defeated and depleted? Us too!

The doors that God opened have blessed us SO MUCH MORE than the things we were trying to force to happen on our own. When we truly trusted that He was going to provide exactly what we needed, when we needed it, He delivered time after time.

What we want you to take from this:

Do the best you can where God has you. No matter what you're facing, show up, build your foundation on the Rock & keep him at the center of the seasons of change.
Don't do life alone- get in community with us! We'd love to support and cheer you on in your growth through the end of this year! DM us at the Extreme Makeover You IG page to let us know how we can support you!
Communicate your goals with others- whether this is your spouse, a close friend or family member, tell others!
Nothing is wasted- Everything from the season that seemed lost or wasted, will bless you and others in the seasons to come if you just keep trusting and taking the next steps in obedience and faith.

We hear from Daniel, his struggles with a sugar addiction in early childhood and how it affected his mental state. He's sharing what it was like from a younger kid who lived for sugar to struggling into his 20s and figuring out what worked best for him in his 30s ( we bet it's not what you'll expect!).
