    VC Testimonies Ep. 5: Forgive & Forget?

    Hey y'all, welcome back! We're picking up the back half of season one from a new city, Columbus, Ohio, where our story with each other actually started. This one's about forgiveness, something we've both said we do, but never really talked through. We start with a little game, then get honest about our earliest memories of guilt and forgiving ourselves. Christine talks about watching her mom work herself into the ground, and Vic gets into his "knucklehead" years and the apology that came years later. We talk about what forgiveness looks like now as adults and as believers, including a patient story from Christine that still sticks with her, and Vic revisits the DV history in his family that a lot of y'all had opinions about online. We also get into forgive and forget (is that even real?), boundaries, and why Christine used to keep an actual record of Vic's wrongs. Yes, really. And for the first time on the pod, Christine opens up about her dad and the wedding she didn't invite him to, the letter she wrote and never told him about, and where things stand with him now. If this resonated, share it with someone who needs it, as always drop your thoughts in the comments, and make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss what's coming later this season.

    VC Testimonies Ep. 4: Four Newlyweds on Faith, Family, Proposals, Babies & Too Many Laughs

    Hey y'all, welcome back! This one was really special to us. We sat down with two people who are near and dear to our hearts. Earl, one of Vic's closest friends since undergrad and his beautiful wife Jeanette. If you watched the show, you may remember Earl was in our wedding party. And fun fact, he's also the one who wrote and read the prayer at our ceremony. Yeah, we love them like that. 🤍 We got into all of it. Earl and Jeanette's surprise court wedding after 10 years together, the Aruba proposal that had Jeanette completely fooled, what year one of marriage actually looks like, and the real conversations around pride, partnership, receiving support, and what it means to grow together (not just beside each other). We also talked faith, finding a church home, how a 21-day liquid fast changed everything for Earl and Jeanette, and yes baby talk made its way into the room too. 👀 This one felt like sitting around the table with people who just get it. We hope it blesses you the way it blessed us. If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

    VC Testimonies Episode 3: A Conversation About Love, Marriage & Knowing When You're Ready

    Hey y'all, welcome back! In this episode we sat down with two very special guests. Karen is Vic's 20-year friend and the woman who literally sent him the Love Is Blind application, and Keya, who you all already know from the Love is Blind Season 10 experience! We pulled up some chairs and just had an honest, human conversation about love, relationships, and everything in between. We got into some conversations about why we chose marriage, how to know when you've found your person, and why you should stop letting society put a timeline on your love life. We also talked dating apps, the lost art of courtship, how to actually read red flags, and what it looks like to self sabotage a good thing. We wrapped it all up with relationship advice and honestly, we could've kept going for hours. Drop your thoughts in the comments, we'd love to hear from you! #VCTestimonies #LoveIsBlind #RelationshipAdvice #Marriage #Dating #Courtship #Vulnerability

    VC Testimonies Episode 2: The Pods, The Ring, & Everything Before: Our Love is Blind Journey

    We've gotten so many questions about what actually went on behind the scenes in the pods, and we're finally sitting down to answer them honestly.In this episode, we're walking you through what day one really felt like, how our first conversations with each other went, and the moment we each realized this was real. We also open up about the meaningful gifts we exchanged, including Christine's handwritten book of 100 marriage tips collected from her patients over the years, a beat-up childhood teddy bear with a story close to Christine's heart, Vic's trophy from his cousin Jamie and the powerful story of family, love, and growth behind it, and a book that still sits on the bathroom shelf to this day.We share some things that didn't make the show, some things we've never said out loud before, and a breakup story involving Vic, and a Snoop Dogg playlist that still makes us laugh. We also get into the proposal, the reveal, Malibu, and what life looked like once the cameras were mostly gone.We started this podcast because we wanted a space to be real with you all and build community. We hope this episode feels like that. If you have questions, drop them in the comments. We read them and we genuinely want to hear from you.Thank you for being part of this community, subscribe and like to keep in touch. It means more than you know.

    VC Testimonies Episode 1: One Year Married, Forever Committed

    Vic and Christine St. John introduce a new season of content to better steward their growing digital community after the show, sharing more about their marriage, love, faith, lifestyle, and topics viewers request. Filming in Brooklyn, Vic’s hometown, they focus this first episode on their backgrounds before meeting: Vic’s upbringing in Flatbush in a women-led household, the absence of his father, lessons from Brooklyn, nearly not graduating, and how mentors helped him get into SUNY Old Westbury; and Christine’s rural southern Ohio childhood, small-school experience, early independence, faith, and later earning a master’s degree. They discuss how each applied to Love Is Blind, reflect on their April 9 wedding anniversary, the meaning of covenant marriage, balancing future goals, and invite viewers to share their own stories, with a shout-out to J Squared Candles.
