Cheer Her On Melissa Zaldivar

These two gems have been married over 57 years and still bring life and joy into everything. Though they have walked through so many challenges, they are pretty no-nonsense that Jesus is who he says he is and joy can be found. Also? They have a whole lot of years dedicated to ministry and parenting and bring out some GOOD encouragement!

Jim & Beth share with us what it means to have grace for one another and believe the best. This conversation reminds us that looking for how God is moving in another person's life allows us to care for them better.

On the day I turned 30, my dear friend Clarissa's husband Rob died. Now, that day is laced with sorrow and joy for both of us and our friendship has reminded me of the importance of honoring our friends who have lost a spouse. Whether young or later in life, this loss is happening around us so we sat down for a quick bonus interview with Monie (from episode 1!) and Clarissa to talk about how to love well through loss. 

Betsy is a wonder. She cares deeply for community and we talk about how she and her husband bought a house in their empty-nest years just to fill it with those who need a place to call home.

Mark and Katherine lived the majority of their lives single and got married in their 50's/60's. They join us to talk about how God gives us good things and while marriage is wonderful, it's A thing--not THE thing. 

First of all, we have our first man on Cheer Her On! Dave and Marilyn have been at my church for decades and share about growing up in the '40s and '50's. While Dave grew up overseas, Marilyn grew up on a farm in the States and they found one another in college. We talk about the importance of church family and remembering what matters.
