    Life After Losing My Wife and Unborn Child | Matt Smyth

    What do you do when the life you planned disappears in an instant? In this deeply moving conversation, we sit down with Matt to hear the story of one of the most devastating losses imaginable—the loss of both his wife and their unborn child. A future he had dreamed about, prayed for, and worked toward was suddenly gone, leaving him to navigate grief, heartbreak, and countless unanswered questions. Yet amid the pain, he began to notice something unexpected: God was still there. Today, he uses his experience to help others through his own personal podcast and his message of hope. His story is not just about loss; it's about faith, healing, and discovering that even in our deepest sorrow, God is closer than we realize. If you've ever wondered where God is in the middle of tragedy, this conversation is one you won't forget.

    Finding Out Her Husband Was Cheating on Her & Was Murdered in the Same Night | Ashlee Boyson

    Have you ever gone through a trail that felt too big? A tragedy that made you question why God? Why me? Why this? Ashlee Boyson was featured on Dr. Phil & on Dateline, as she shares her crazy but also incredible story. In just one night, her whole world came crashing to the ground as she had to navigate infidelity, loss of her husband, a murder trial, single motherhood, remarriage, and ultimately what happened to her faith. If we know one thing about trails, it's that they either turn you away from God or they turn you to God. It shows the true character of a person & shows where their true hearts lie. If you want an example of faith, listen to Ashlee's story and you will be uplifted in your trials in more ways than you can possibly know.

    How to Improve your Relationships ft. Matt Townsend

    Relationships are at the core of everything we are. We were made to love and it's through the relationships in our lives that we learn HOW to love. But I bet you never had the thought that you were fighting wrong, right? Well maybe you are. Or maybe you aren't responding to your partner in the right way or maybe you react to fast. Every relationship is so different but there are some things that can drastically improve your relationship and it lies in how we handle situations. So enjoy this episode with Dr. Matt Townsend, a leading expert in marriage and relationships. Matt walks us through how to handle conflict the right way, communicate in a way that actually connects, and what it looks like to strengthen not just your relationship with your partner — but your relationship with God. Maybe send this to your partner so you can both learn together. I promise, we both learned a lot from this conversation. I mean who doesn't love a free couples therapy lesson? Enjoy people :))
