About | Famous at Home

Welcome!

We're grateful you're here.

We believe the home is the hub for how well we step out into the world. You're likely visiting us today because, at some level, you too believe this to be true. You may even be feeling the weight of it right now.

Overscheduled. Lonely. Feeling misunderstood. Wishing you had more quality time with your children. Maybe even feeling like your marriage is on the rocks.

You're not alone. We all lose our way at times.

With God. With ourselves. And with our family.

Which is why, like welcoming you into our home, we want to say what an honor it is that you'd come this far, even if for a brief visit. If we could pour you a cup of coffee or, in Josh's case, an apple cider, we'd do that for you right now. Why?

Because your story matters. Your marriage matters. Your family matters.

To come alongside families like yours is a privilege to us. As you look around we invite you to begin by listening to our podcast. It's a great place to get started and to get to know us a bit more.

You can also sign up for our famous at home starter kit and receive our weekly devotionals, written to help awaken your heart and bring revival to your family.

All it takes for family revival is for one family to be revived. We know this because we're living proof. What a joy it'd be for us to play a small part in guiding you to find your way back home.

For family revival,

Josh + Christi

Dr. Josh & Christi Straub
Cofounders of Famous at Home
Helping you find your way home.

Every healthy ministry begins with a healthy marriage, and every healthy calling begins with a healthy home. That’s why Famous at Home starts, first and foremost, at the residence of Josh and Christi Straub, which just so happens to be a farmhouse in rural Columbia, Tennessee. Not only are the Straubs raising three young children, as amateur homesteaders, they’re also caring for 12 chickens, two ducks affectionately referred to as Kevin and Susan, two kittens, and a Goldendoodle named Copper.

They know, firsthand, what it’s like to hold the tension of marriage and ministry side by side. “Christi and I are absolutely dead set on making sure we live our message,” Josh affirms. “To be married, run a business together, coach together, parent together and homeschool together — it’s something that’s well fought for.”

Josh and Christi may both have extensive backgrounds in counseling, but today, they offer so much more than scheduled therapy sessions. The couple aims to lead people home, acting not just as coaches, but also spiritual directors and pastoral guides. Under the umbrella of their respected brand, Famous at Home, the Straubs provide an array of resources for men, women and children to equip them to become everything God has called them to be. Along with group retreats and cohorts, the couple leads private one-on-one coaching sessions and marriage intensives for military families, ministry leaders, business leaders, entertainers and professional athletes. They also host the weekly “Famous at Home” podcast; and together, they’ve authored five children’s books, as well as their bestselling parenting book, Famous at Home. Moreover, Josh also regularly speaks at churches, conferences and events nationwide.

But the Straubs don’t want to only serve up a toolkit for families; they want to walk alongside them through ever-evolving challenges. The couple’s innovative retreats and cohorts allow them to journey with people through life’s ups and downs beyond a traditional one-off therapy session or one-time ministry gathering.

“People are problem-focused, but we don’t want to help solve problems. We don’t want to just put a Band-Aid on it; we want to help you discover the solution." Josh observes, “We’re all part of the matrix; we’re all part of the culture we find ourselves in. Yet, rather than ebbing and flowing with the culture around us, we want to help people filter their lives through the lens of what the Bible tells us about who we are and how we are to lead.”

Leadership is one of the main principles Josh focuses on as he hosts The Field Experience cohort for men who desire to be godly leaders in their homes, businesses and communities. “I see so many men today who are lonely. Many who weren’t given a model from their own fathers. They are caught in the rat race. A lot of them feel the tension, they just don’t know a fix,” Josh contends. “I want to help fathers not feel alone in how they father.”

Meanwhile, Christi’s heart is to sojourn beside fellow wives and moms through her Tender & Fierce cohort. “So many women are weary from battling the pace of life, the hurts of life, the worries of life. They love and trust the Lord, but then it’s like, ‘What now? Where do I go from here?’ I get the privilege of walking alongside women and unlocking the places in them that have been held up by hurt, fear and insecurity — sometimes for decades,” Christi shares. “I love leading women into a deeper relationship with God. I just love watching them start to fly.”

“Most of us just really need to know how deeply we’re loved and how beautifully we’ve been anointed for something specific,” Christi offers of their vision behind Famous at Home. “We want to come alongside people and help them honor God on whatever stage He’s put them on — even if that stage is their neighborhood or their kitchen table.”

Regardless of the format — a podcast, a book, a curriculum, a cohort or a coaching session — with Famous at Home, the Straubs are striving for the same results: stronger marriages, better parenting and healthier families.
