    Mother's Day Reflections: A Special Episode For Moms

    Send us Fan Mail In this special Mother’s Day episode, we take an honest and encouraging look at the real journey of motherhood—the beautiful, the chaotic, and everything in between. From funny family memories (including a not-so-memorable Mother’s Day meal) to heartfelt reflections on raising kids through every stage, this conversation is full of relatable moments every mom will understand. We talk about the pressures moms face today, the myth of “doing it all,” and the freedom that comes from letting go of unrealistic expectations. You’ll also hear wisdom on balancing marriage and motherhood, supporting each other as parents, and why keeping your relationship strong matters more than perfection at home. Most importantly, we dive into the power of prayer and learning to trust God with your children—especially in seasons where you feel overwhelmed, unsure, or stretched thin. If you’re a mom in the thick of it, this episode is a reminder that God sees you, your work matters, and you’re not alone.

    What Is Love? What It Is And What It Isn't In Marriage

    Send us Fan Mail What is love—really? In a culture where love is often defined by feelings, what happens when those feelings fade? In this episode, we take a deeper look at what love actually is and how it’s meant to function in real relationships. Using the timeless definition found in 1 Corinthians 13, we unpack how love is less about emotion and more about action—choosing patience, kindness, forgiveness, and selflessness even on the hard days. Through honest conversation and real-life stories from our own marriage, we talk about: Why feelings alone can’t sustain a relationshipWhat to do when you’ve “lost the feeling”How everyday choices shape the health of your marriagePractical ways to love your spouse when it doesn’t come naturallyIf your relationship feels strained, disconnected, or just not what it used to be, this episode will help you reset your perspective and take a step toward something stronger. Because lasting love isn’t built on how you feel—it’s built on how you choose to love.

    Loving Your Spouse Through Anxiety, Depression, and Burnout

    Send us Fan Mail What do you do when your spouse is the one struggling—and you have to be the strong one? In this episode, we talk honestly about a season in our marriage where anxiety, burnout, and emotional exhaustion changed everything. What started as an exciting new chapter—moving across the country, starting a ministry, and raising young kids—quickly turned into a heavy and overwhelming season that neither of us expected. One of us found ourselves in a deep place of discouragement and burnout… while the other had to carry more than ever before. If you’re walking through a season where your spouse is dealing with anxiety, depression, or burnout, this conversation is for you. We share what it actually looked like for us, what helped (and what didn’t), and how we made it through without losing hope. In this episode, we talk about: What it’s like when your spouse feels like a different personHow to support your partner when they can’t receive encouragementWhy you don’t have to carry the weight aloneThe importance of prayer and relying on God in hard seasonsWhen to invite others in—and when counseling can helpHolding onto hope when things feel like they won’t get betterWhether you’re the one struggling or the one holding everything together, we want to remind you: this season is not the end of your story. Healing is possible. Restoration is possible. And there are better days ahead.

    Marriage Dynamics: Who Is More Likely?

    Send us Fan Mail Ever wonder who’s more likely to do what in a marriage? Today on the show we  “shake it up” by playing a “Who is more likely to” game with unseen questions across personality, parenting, work/life, and faith, noting differences between the way they think and parent. We discuss apologizing, needing reassurance, carrying others’ emotional weight, trusting God, and spiritual encouragement, and conclude that humor, romance, and date nights lighten marriage, seasons pass, and differences are strengths that help couples become one. 00:00 Welcome to the Podcast 00:24 Springtime and Chickens 01:17 Bloom Retreat Recap 03:36 Game Setup Who Is More Likely 04:28 Personality and Communication 08:36 Apologies and Reassurance 11:00 Parenting Strict vs Fun 13:54 Kids Attitude Triggers 14:15 Tag Team Parenting 15:21 Work Life Boundaries 16:33 Torn Between Roles 18:38 Carrying Others Burdens 20:48 Trusting God Together 22:14 Spiritual Encouragement 23:29 Making Marriage Lighter 25:25 Advice To Younger Us 26:52 Marriage Needs Differences 28:42 Closing And Next Steps Support the show Don't Miss: Visit our Website for more information 6 Habits of Happy Couples Course  Interested in having Lennon and Christal come to speak at your event?
