    Bridging the Divide: Married with Different Religious Backgrounds

    What happens when love brings two people together—but their religious upbringings couldn’t be more different? In this heartfelt episode, Holly Rennels, a gifted wordsmith and devoted wife, shares the transformative journey of her marriage: one that began with spiritual tension and evolved into a deeply unified partnership. Holly and her husband entered marriage from opposite ends of the religious spectrum. But instead of letting those differences divide them, they chose a radical path—laying down denominational expectations and anchoring their relationship in the truth of Scripture. Holly walks us through how they learned to trust the Bible’s word over religious tradition, and how that shift became the foundation for emotional safety, spiritual growth, and lasting connection. This episode is for anyone navigating faith differences in marriage, questioning religious identity, or longing to build unity without losing authenticity. Holly’s story is a testament to grace, humility, and the power of God’s word to reconcile what once felt irreconcilable.
