The Rhythm of Us

Gabe and Rebekah Lyons kick off Season 12 with a brand-new theme: The Rhythm of Us. After a season focused on their book The Fight for Us, they now tee up the top conversations that couples need to have to build a healthy communication rhythm in their marriages. 

Fresh off family milestones—including celebrating their son’s engagement—Gabe and Rebekah reflect on how every season of life requires new rhythms, and why conversations are the heartbeat of staying connected. They share the five practical skills to guide those conversations well: active listening, mirroring, empathy, disarming defensiveness, and telling the truth in love.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why rhythms—not just good intentions—shape the health of your marriage.
• How to practice active listening, empathy, and mirroring for deeper connection.
• Ways to disarm tension and tell the truth without tearing down.
• The conversations every couple needs to have in order to grow through change.
• How simple practices can reset and re-center your relationship.

This season also introduces two new resources to help you live these rhythms beyond the podcast:

• The Journal For Us: 10 Conversations Every Couple Needs to Have – releasing September 23, 2025 – a practical companion for reflection and intentional conversations.
• The Fight For Us Curriculum – releasing October 7, 2025 – a perfect guide for small groups or couples wanting to build stronger foundations together.
   

Join Gabe and Rebekah as they set the stage for a season filled with honest and practical conversations with special guests like Josh & Christi Straub, Winston & Rachel Cruze, Jon Tyson, Ann Voskamp, Mark Batterson and many others. Tune in and get equipped to strengthen your marriage, family and friendships!
