 Subscribe to get each episode delivered to your Inbox daily: https://bttb.org/subscribe2sft Join Arnie Cole, Laura Coppinger, and Matt Coppinger as they discuss the challenges of loving well when you’re tired, tense, or irritable—especially in the days after big events like Christmas. In this heartfelt episode, Laura shares a simple family tradition of prayer mugs that helps her refocus on love and gratitude for her children, even on the hardest mornings. Matt and Laura also talk about the importance of non-negotiable time with God and each other, and how small daily practices can lead to big breakthroughs in family life. Discover how a simple phrase, “Coppinger kids—we are loved,” helps their children remember their value and security, and learn practical ways to show up for your family with love, even when you feel like you have nothing left to give. Take action with the 4 R’s: Read: Dive into 1 John 3:16—“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.” Reflect: Consider how small, intentional moments—like choosing a special mug or saying a loving phrase—can remind you and your family of God’s love, especially when you’re weary. Respond: Pray, “Lord, I bring you my not enough. Multiply it, and turn my little moments into big love in someone else’s life. Amen.” Reveal: Show someone they are loved today—look them in the eyes, give them your full attention, or share a simple act of kindness that demonstrates God’s love.
