Living Easy with Lindsey

God did not grant us salvation so that we can rest and relax and chill in who we already were. He has called us up. He has called us to live as He did. To walk alongside sinners and broken people while guarding our hearts with wisdom and faith. Let's talk about it (even if your struggle is more often than the holidays!) P.S. I will be back in late February or early March! I love you guys! Happy New Year!

P.P.S. Due to extremely high demand, I have decided to keep The Wife Project OPEN for purchase indefinitely! Start 2022 with a refreshed, healthier and more joyful and fun marriage by registering today as an early Christmas gift to yourself!

On this episode, you will hear practical tips for creating a less stressful, less chaotic approach to your day-to-day life. From swallowing your frog to numerically listing out your tasks, these are tips that have eased Lindsey's mind and allowed her life to run much more smoothly.

Do your in-laws threaten your marriage or invade your relationship?

On this reverse-interview episode with Michael and Elizabeth from the Marriage Talks Podcast, Lindsey shares her own story of family-member-drama as well as her perspective on what it means to deal with difficult in-laws as a Christian man or woman.

Genesis 2:24 says, "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh."

This isn't an easy thing to do - especially when family members are unwilling to be a part of the leave and cleave process.

A husband and a wife have behavioral, experiential and moral differences based on how they were raised. They are two sinners coming together and trying to make a godly relationship work. In order to have a healthy marriage, it is important to fight for healthy in-law relationships by showing the love of Christ.

When healing in-law relationships, Lindsey talks about focusing on side-by-side relationship builders, living the relationship out on your own rather than through your spouse, seeking humility and laying down your pride, watching your words and voicing expectations.

Show Notes:

Are you truly aware of the emotional blind spots that might be holding you back in your relationships, faith, and personal growth? In this episode, Lindsey Maestas dives into the power of conviction, the importance of self-awareness, choosing sin, and spiritual complacency.

Lindsey thought of a random ChatGPT prompt on her drive home from Florida and realized how helpful it was. This prompt helped her to explore hidden thought patterns, emotional wounds, and unhealthy habits that impact her daily life.

James 1:22 reminds us not to just hear the Word but to do what it says, because ignoring, or justifying, conviction is self-deception.

If you’ve ever struggled with repeating the same mistakes, feeling stuck in unhealthy cycles, or wondering why certain relationships feel strained, this episode is for you. We talk about living out true repentance, not just feeling guilty but actively making changes with God’s help.

Self-awareness isn’t about self-improvement alone—it’s about surrendering to Jesus and letting His conviction shape us into who we’re meant to be. Whether you’re dealing with pride, control, defensiveness, or fear, God is calling you to more.

"Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep" (Romans 12:9).

In today's conversation, Lindsey and Jesse Maestas discuss friendship, their different perspectives on 'showing up' for people, and Jesse candidly reveals his own struggle with the temptation to navigate life independently. He addresses men who grapple with discomfort in seeking help, supporting, or expressing love for their friends. Silently battling financial burdens and parenting stresses, these men often confront a sense of fear or pride surrounding their vulnerabilities.

Within this discussion, the episode explores the misconception that friendship requires sacrificing the greatest things in life. Contrary to this, scripture teaches the integral role of friendship within the church, the body, and fellowship.

Lindsey shares insights into managing expectations surrounding others' involvement in her greatest achievements, shedding light on the emptiness and loneliness that can arise from unhealthy expectations.
