Transcribe →To Be Married, or Not Divorced?
Mar 1201:06:46Tap to summarizeA statement came out in our conversation the other day - "You know, some people are trying to not get divorced, rather than wanting to be married."So what does that look like? What does that sound like? We live in a world where it is acceptable for a marriage to look like roommates sharing a last name and having different lives. How do we break that cycle? We break it by remembering WHY we got married. We encourage each other to grow, together! Not to be identical, but together. Connect with us if you would like to be better with your marriage.Have a listen, and let us know what you think!Have the best week! Enjoy the journey!

Jan 2701:01:06Tap to summarizeWelcome to 2026! We are expecting and hoping for great things for all of you this upcoming year! Sometimes life doesn't quite go the way we planned.

Transcribe →The 2 Become 1
Dec 500:41:43Tap to summarizeWhen two people get married, they get a new identity. That comes with starting a new family, new traditions, and a new culture. It might seem a bit crazy to go against tradition, especially now that it is the Holiday season of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's. This is what happens though. As a married couple, starting our own family, we had the opportunity to sit and talk about what we wanted our family traditions to look and sound like. We took the good and the bad of our families from growing up, and had a "Keep or Toss" conversation. We learned that those conversations keep happening throughout our marriage, in every season. Our lives will change, and our traditions get to change with them.So what traditions would you like to start, keep, or change in your marriage and family? Have a listen, and let us know what you think.Have the best week! Enjoy the journey!
Transcribe →Who's In Your Corner?
Nov 2000:54:41Tap to summarizeMany of us know that we should be wise and discerning when it comes to allowing people to speak into our lives. It is the same with your marriage. Not everyone we meet should have access and "speaking rights" to our marriage. It is good to have a conversation with God and your spouse about who should be in your corner, and should should just visit your porch. Not everyone will be able to have the same level of trust and love for your marriage as you do.Have a listen as we talk about the people that should be in your corner, the ones that will celebrate with you and hold you accountable. Let us know what you think!Have the best week! Enjoy the journey!
Transcribe →Accountability
Nov 600:55:45Tap to summarizeWelcome to Episode 134!We are so excited to share our thoughts on accountability with you. What does that look like? It is a combination of what we say and do to and for each other, and so much more. Accountability is accepting responsibility for one's actions, commitments, and decisions, and being answerable for the outcomes, whether positive or negative. It involves being transparent, explaining decisions, and taking ownership of results to build trust and improve performance in personal, professional, and societal contexts. We also talk about Accountability and Vulnerability in Episode 58. Have a listen and let us know what you think!Have the best week! Enjoy the journey!

Transcribe →What's In Your Backpack?
Oct 800:36:23Tap to summarizeWhat's in your backpack? What are you carrying around with you from yesterday? Life is full of adventure, lessons, memories, and stress. As we go and do stuff and interact with others, we have a tendency to take bits of those moments and carry them with us. Those bits can add up to weigh us down. When we focus on God, He will tell us what we need to carry and what to drop. We get to start each day with an empty backpack. We can choose to not carry the past with us.Have a listen, and let us know what you think.Have the best week! Enjoy the journey!
