   What’s Working, What We’re Working On, and What Needs Work

   On this “Slightly Off Script” marriage podcast episode, Bethany and Andy discuss recent busyness, a last-minute weekend getaway at their favorite hotel with a rooftop bar, and their mixed feelings about Shake Shack. Bethany introduces a set of reflection questions—what’s working, what they’re working on, and what needs work—and they share current rhythms like early mornings with Scripture, journaling, reading, Orangetheory, time with friends, staying connected as a couple, and enjoying outdoor projects. They talk about training for a half-marathon, Bethany prepping for a powerlifting meet, ministry startup work, puppy challenges, and focusing on sleep and nutrition influenced by the book “The Body Teaches the Soul.” They identify morning/evening routines and true rest as areas needing work, mention interest in learning to smoke a pipe, and look ahead to summer plans like farmer’s markets, hiking, hosting, and possibly visiting an MLB park. They recommend shows including “Paradise” and “Love on the Spectrum.” 00:00 No Script Intro 00:56 Weekend Getaway Recap 02:23 Artemis Splashdown Talk 03:14 Shake Shack Debate 04:11 Murder Questions Setup 05:54 What’s Working Right Now 08:42 Bethanys Wins 10:33 Things Were Working On 10:43 Half Marathon And Ministry 14:10 Sleep Food And The Book 16:01 Fasting Feasting Ordinary 16:32 What Needs Work 17:07 Morning Rhythm Reset 18:10 Learning Real Rest 19:23 Pipe Smoking Project 21:25 Recalibrating Ministry Life 22:49 Summer Bucket List 24:52 Food Quest Debate 25:35 Listener Challenge Wrap 26:08 Media Recommendations 27:19 Love on the Spectrum 29:07 Final Sign Off

What’s Working, What We’re Working On, and What Needs Work

Published 20 Apr 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Okay. So tell me, things in your life right now, what is working? What is going well? Things that you're liking? It could be things you're reading, watching, doing. Within reason, keep it appropriate. This is a marriage podcast that kids sometimes eavesdrop on. Things that are working. I would say core rhythms. Like basic rhythms, my keystone habits. So I still am doing well getting up most mornings. I do sleep in occasionally. And by sleep in, I mean 6.30. I usually get up at 10 of 5. I actually shifted that. I used to get up at 5. But I like to be in the chair by 5. So I get up at 10 of 5, and it works. […]
