Blessed to Be a Blessing: Marriage, Parenting & Legacy | Ep. 280
A new podcast episode featuring Jim and Lynne Jackson dives into the challenges of keeping relationships strong in marriage and parenting. The couple reflects on their own journey while discussing tools and ideas that have shaped their approach over time. Their conversation centres on the Framework, a system they’ve used to guide their family life and careers.
The episode begins with personal stories from Jim and Lynne about how early messages and gifts—some helpful, others misguided—shaped their careers. They reference a book by Dr. Larry Crabb, Connecting: Healing Ourselves and Our Relationships, as a key influence on their thinking.
The pair then explores the **Framework**, explaining how it has helped them navigate marriage and parenting. They stress that success isn’t measured by achievements or external ‘report cards’ but by following Jesus as the ultimate standard. Alongside the **Framework**, the episode mentions two online courses: *The Entitlement Fix* and *Trash, Truth, Treasure*, a mini-course designed to support personal growth. The discussion also ties into a previous podcast, *Payoffs & Accidental Rewards: How to Focus on the Right Stuff*, suggesting a broader series on building healthy relationships. Throughout, Jim and Lynne share practical examples of how the **Framework** has brought long-term stability to their family. Their focus remains on lasting connection rather than quick fixes.
The episode leaves listeners with a clear takeaway: strong relationships depend on intentional choices and the right tools. By prioritising Jesus over worldly success and applying structured approaches like the Framework, the Jacksons argue that lasting change is possible. The conversation serves as both a reflection and a guide for those seeking deeper connection in their own lives.
