The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

In this episode, I'm challenging our culture's obsession with emotional analysis that might actually be keeping you stuck. While understanding our feelings is important, I explain why constantly dwelling on emotions can transform what should be a passing breeze into a destructive storm. I'll walk you through: ✅ Why therapy and self-help books are valuable—but not always the complete answer ✅ How to recognize when you're trapped in an "endless loop of self-examination" ✅ The importance of managing emotions rather than just feeling them ✅ Why thinking less about yourself and more about others can be transformative ✅ Practical ways to get off the "hamster wheel" of anxiety and overthinking Whether you're struggling with relationship conflicts, perpetual problems with your partner, or just finding yourself stuck in your own head, this episode offers a perspective that might be exactly what you need to move forward. Sometimes the path to happiness isn't through more analysis—it's through action and shifting your focus. 🔔 Remember: While I encourage you to "get over yourself" in the kindest way possible, consistent therapy can be life-changing when you're truly stuck. Build that relationship with your therapist, be communicative about your needs, and create the consistency that leads to real change.…

In this episode, we're diving deep into a perspective on marital intimacy that's often misunderstood or completely overlooked in our modern culture—sex as a sacred, spiritual connection between husband and wife. I'm challenging the transactional view of intimacy that has created so much tension and obligation in marriages today. What if the struggles around frequency, desire, and obligation aren't just problems—but invitations? Invitations to discover a more beautiful understanding of what sex was truly designed to be in marriage: the physical expression of your covenant bond. I'll walk you through: ✅ Why viewing sex as an obligation or "need" destroys the beauty of intimacy ✅ The biblical understanding of "two becoming one flesh" and what that really means ✅ How cultural misconceptions about sex have damaged our marriages without us realizing ✅ Why respect, not desire, is the true foundation of a healthy sexual relationship ✅ The practical ways to move from transactional thinking to seeing sex as an act of recommitment Your marriage isn't supposed to be a battlefield of competing needs—it's meant to be the sacred space where two equal partners continually choose to become one. Tune in for a conversation that might completely transform how you view intimacy with your spouse. 🔗 Get my March relationship planner focused on this topic: https://luellajonk.com/the-game-plan/#The_Planner 📚 Recommended Reading: "Be Devoted: Restoring Friendship, Passion, and Communion in Your Marriage" by Bob Schuchts McNally Robinson Indigo Amazon "Good News about Sex & Marriage" McNally Robinson Indigo Amazon 🔔 Disclaimer: This podcast provides relationship insights from a faith-oriented perspective but is not a substitute for professional counseling.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into a framework that has stood the test of time—the 7 deadly sins—and how they show up in our marriages in ways we don’t even realize. We often think of marriage as a place of love and companionship, but the truth is, it’s also one of life’s greatest teachers of virtue. What if the arguments, resentment, and emotional distance in your relationship aren’t just problems—but opportunities? Opportunities to practice patience, humility, and kindness instead of pride, anger, and envy. I’ll walk you through: ✅ Why pride makes you fight to "win"—and why that’s ruining your relationship ✅ The hidden ways envy and greed can creep into your marriage (without you noticing) ✅ How anger starts as a flicker but can burn everything down if unchecked ✅ Why lust and emotional comparison are more dangerous than you think ✅ The simple mindset shifts that replace vice with virtue—and create a marriage that actually lasts Your marriage isn’t supposed to be perfect—but it is supposed to refine you. Tune in for a conversation that just might change the way you love, communicate, and show up for your partner. 🔗 https://luellajonk.com/ 🔔 Disclaimer: This podcast provides general relationship insights and is not a substitute for professional counseling.

In this solo episode, I explore the nuances of male emotion, drawing on my personal experiences as well as the insights I've gleaned from my professional practice. I examine the biological and cultural factors that shape the male psyche, and why respecting each individual's unique emotional needs is crucial for fostering healthy, fulfilling relationships. As a psychotherapist who's spent over two decades working with male clients, I've witnessed firsthand the growing confusion and pressure that men face when it comes to emotional expression. In today's rapidly evolving social landscape, the expectations placed on men to be simultaneously stoic and sensitive have become increasingly complex and, at times, even contradictory. Get ready for an unflinching look at the challenges that men navigate, from the boardroom to the home front. Through empathy and understanding, we'll work to dismantle harmful stereotypes and empower men to proudly embrace the full spectrum of their feelings. After all, true strength lies not in the suppression of emotion, but in the courage to acknowledge it.
