  • 305: The Devil’s Subtle Strategies: What We Miss When We’re Distracted (with Tilly Dillehay)
    2025/06/10
    I am honored to welcome Tilly Dillehay to the show for this episode! Tilly joins me to discuss her clever and quirky new book My Dear Hemlock, a book written in the voice of a demon mentor coaching her underling on how to derail a Christian woman’s walk with God. Taking inspiration from The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis, Tilly’s version is tailored to the specific struggles that Christian women face today - frustration in marriage, social media distractions, pride disguised as virtue, and the slow drift that can happen in daily family life.What strikes me the hardest about our conversation is how the fictional format of the book gave Tilly room to say the hard things that are so easy to sidestep when we’re just trying to get through the week. We talk about what it means to see homemaking not as a list of chores but as a sort of battleground on which small choices have big consequences. We also explore the temptation to fixate on a spouse’s flaws instead of tending to our own spiritual health as well as why that is so spiritually dangerous.Tilly doesn’t just offer observations; she shares deeply practical wisdom, things like how to build upon gratitude when your first impulse is annoyance, how to recognize when the enemy is whispering half-truths, and why community and prayer aren’t just helpful but essential. This episode will be sure to challenge you, encourage you, and make you think twice the next time that you scroll through Instagram or silently stew over a spouse's mistake.In This Episode[0:36] - I welcome Tilly Dillehay, author of My Dear Hemlock, to the podcast for this episode![1:15] - Tilly reveals how the book came to fruition.[3:30] - Hear how writing a fictional book helped Tilly express real-life marital struggles and spiritual challenges that Christian women face.[6:03] - Although not from a charismatic tradition, Tilly finds value in acknowledging Satan’s real influence.[7:28] - I stress how small annoyances are spiritual battlegrounds on which we choose our response.[10:57] - Women's imaginative power can harm relationships if misused as criticism instead of praise.[12:07] - I warn against magnifying minor flaws in loved ones.[14:08] - Tilly advises cultivating daily gratitude instead of scrutinizing a spouse’s faith.[17:29] - By gently initiating nightly prayer, I have created deeper connection and communication in my marriage.[18:34] - Many marriages unfortunately fall apart from unspoken contempt that could’ve been avoided with small, daily kindnesses.[21:34] - I point out how the media distorts women’s expectations and how prayer often gets derailed by distracting thoughts.[22:30] - Tilly suggests praying with others and using scripture as structure for focused prayer.[25:02] - Instead of promising prayer and then forgetting, Tilly prefers to pray immediately and let people know that she just did.[28:36] - Tilly disabled Safari on her phone entirely because phones are ultimately designed to steal time.[30:37] - Distractions vary per person; mine was audio, while a friend’s was compulsive online shopping.[32:24] - Tilly asserts that homes are spiritual battlegrounds and that women play a key role in their power.[35:55] - Tilly advises beginning with prayer and learning from godly women whose homes reflect familial, not material, richness.[36:54] - Neglecting prayer and community can ultimately open the door to spiritual vulnerability.Links & ResourcesCrystal PaineTilly Dillehay’s Home Fires PodcastBooksMy Dear Hemlock by Tilly DillehayThe Screwtape Letters by C.S.

  • 304: Marriage License Mayhem: Our Wild Ride Trying to Get a Real ID License
    2025/05/30

    We had to sit down and recount this story since it sort of went viral on Instagram and I got thousands of messages and comments and emails about it!

    A few weeks ago, we accidentally stumbled across something totally unexpected – that we may not have actually been legally married for the past 22 years! That's right! Listen in as Jesse and I fill you in!

    It all started with a passport - or rather, the lack of a current one. I was prepping for a trip to Colorado Springs for some filming and radio interviews when we realized that my passport had expired and that the window to renew it was way too tight. The backup plan was to try to get a Real ID, which turned into a long, chaotic day at the DMV, but the DMV line wasn’t even the wildest part.

    While confidently presenting my organized folder of documents (thanks to Jesse), I was told that our marriage license wasn’t valid because it wasn’t the right kind. Apparently, what we’ve had all these years was just the signed license from our wedding, not the certified marriage certificate with the state seal. We had used that same document to change my name, get a driver’s license, even get passports, but now, we weren’t so sure someone ever mailed the signed license back after our wedding like we were supposed to.

    The more we pieced it together, the more we realized what had actually happened, and we hope that you'll join as we walk you through this hilarious story of minor panic and the weird legal questions that come along with the realization that you might not actually be legally married... more than two decades after the wedding!

    In This Episode


    [2:24] - Jesse and I are sharing how we recently discovered that our marriage of 22 years might not have been legally recognized!

    ​​[3:37] - I nearly missed a trip due to delays getting a Real ID required for flying.

    [6:43] - A week before traveling, I found that my passport hadn't been renewed like she had believed.

    [8:44] - I realized that there was unfortunately no way to get my passport renewed in time for my trip, meaning that I had to get a Real ID.

    [10:53] - Despite an estimated 15-minute wait time, I actually spent nearly two hours just to reach the DMV desk.

    [14:05] - Hear how DMV staff revealed that our marriage license wasn’t valid without an official state seal.

    [18:04] - Jesse realized that we likely never filed the marriage license, so no certificate was ever issued.

    [18:45] - I began to worry that Jesse and I were never legally married due to paperwork mishandling.

    [20:32] - Hear how we anxiously submitted an expedited request, unsure if Kansas even had our marriage certificate.

    [22:15] - I came to realize that many other people have also mistaken a license copy for a valid marriage certificate.

    [24:35] - Hear how we learned that there's a difference between a marriage license and a certificate with a raised seal.

    [27:20] - The official certificate finally arrived, relieving us and allowing me to finally apply for my Real ID.

    [29:52] - I found it funny that this rare paperwork error came from Jesse, since he is usually the more detail-oriented one!

  • 303. True Intimacy in Marriage (with Joanna and Matthew Raabsmith)
    2025/05/13
    Listen in this week as I am joined by not just one guest but two - Matthew and Joanna Raabsmith, authors of the new book Building True Intimacy: Creating a Connection That Stands the Test of Time, a project which they themselves refer to as a labor of love. Together, Joanna and Matthew openly share their journey of rebuilding their marriage after Matthew revealed his struggles with sexual addiction and pornography. They go beyond just surviving to thriving, offering insights into how to create a thriving connection that doesn’t just survive the bumps but actually grows stronger through them. Their approach isn’t about perfecting your partner or expecting them to "fix" your emotional triggers but rather about learning how to heal and grow together.Listen in as we talk about the importance of small daily moments and how a simple interaction, like how we deal with frustration or small disagreements, can either draw us closer or create distance. They, for example, share some powerful insights into their own struggles with emotional dysregulation and how it often leads to disconnection, but it isn't just about avoiding the pitfalls. It’s also about learning how to show up as emotionally healthy individuals and what it takes to keep the relationship itself thriving!Hear how Joanna and Matthew learned to handle some tough topics like finances and how taking a step back to understand each other’s emotional states can truly transform conversations. We also discuss their “animacy pyramid,” a framework which they developed to conceptualize what makes a truly thriving relationship.Whether you’re struggling with small daily challenges or looking for ways to deepen your emotional connection, this episode is packed with real wisdom that can help shift the way you approach love, intimacy, and your partnership. If you're in a relationship or thinking about what it takes to make love last, you will not want to miss this conversation, and be sure to grab a copy of their book!In This Episode[0:35] - This episode’s guests are authors of the book Building True Intimacy, Matthew and Joanna Raabsmith![1:43] - After overcoming betrayal and addiction, Matthew and Joanna's book helps guide couples toward thriving relationships.[4:14] - Maintaining emotional regulation leads to lasting connection, regardless of the issue or situation.[7:57] - Hear how Matthew learned that projecting insecurity onto others can affect the health of relationships.[10:23] - Emotional dependency in relationships can cause disconnection and halt personal growth.[12:42] - I have realized that self-worth should come from within, not from external validation.[15:45] - Joanna believes that healthy compromise means finding mutually beneficial solutions, not taking turns losing.[18:58] - To build a strong relationship, it's important to address underlying fears prior to discussing practical issues.[22:35] - Matthew adds that finding common ground in core values helps couples overcome differences.[24:11] - Joanna argues that taking a step back from pain helps you recognize that your partner does still care.[27:14] - Building a thriving relationship requires honesty, safety, trust, vulnerability, and persistent effort.[30:59] - Ultimately, small, daily choices significantly shape the resilience of a marriage.Links & ResourcesCrystal PaineBooksBuilding True Intimacy: Creating a Connection That Stands the Test of Time by Joanna Raabsmith & Matthew RaabsmithSocial MediaCrystal Paine on Instagram (@moneysavingmom)Crystal Paine on Instagram (@crystaliscleaning)Crystal Paine on LinkedInCrystal Paine on TwitterCrystal Paine on GoodreadsMoney Saving MomMoney Saving Mom on FacebookMoney Saving Mom Deal Seekers Facebook groupcrystal@moneysavingmom.comOur Sponsors:* Check out Armoire: https://armoire.style/CRYSTAL* Check out IXL and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.ixl.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
