Where we talk about thriving, growing and healing in our marriages

    The Chapman's

    The Chapman's

    After a super long hiatus we are back! Hopefully we'll be able to start putting out some more consistent episodes. 

    This episode was another great one. We got the opportunity to interview Jeffrey and Stephanie Chapman. They have four little ones and run a business together called Clay by Steph. We got to talk mostly about their dating years leading up to marriage which was super awesome and insightful. We believe this episode will strike a chord with people in all stages of life, whether single, dating, married or have older kids ready to date. They utilized counseling to help see challenges and hurdles in their relationship and most importantly in their walk with the Lord. It's a beautiful story of watching them work through difficulties and realize Jesus is the ultimate source of fulfillment, something we all need to be reminded of constantly. 

    Hope you enjoy!

    PART 2 with the Estes'

    PART 2 with the Estes'

    We had the wonderful opportunity to interview our dear friends Ryan and Sarah. We split it up into two episodes because it ended up being a couple hours long! If you haven't listened to part 1 we recommend doing that before listening to this episode. You might be a little lost if not! You will not be disappointed! In part 1 you are introduced to the Estes' and see some of their back story. We dive into a major difficult point in their marriage and really what drove them to get help. They were both at a breaking point knowing something needed to change. We see them lean in to the Lord as they cry out to him. Counseling was pivotal as you will see more in episode two. We appreciate the vulnerability and humility and steadfastness the Estes' bring. We hope you are blessed by their story as much as we have been!

    Sam Allberry - Why does God care who I sleep with?

    On this episode we had the privilege of interviewing Sam Allberry. Sam is an author, speaker, and pastor from the UK. We focus primarily in this episode on his book "Why does God care who I sleep with?" In this insightful interview Sam dives into why he wrote this book and answers questions like: What is sex for? How can the Christian church do better at talking about sexual ethics? And how does lust effect intimacy?

    Be sure to follow Sam on Twitter @SamAllberry. And get this book we talk about, you won't be disappointed!

    Grace and Brokenness w/ Jonathan Daugherty

    This episode ended up being a little longer than normal, but it's worth the listen! We've been getting a lot of great feedback through messages or in person and it really has been encouraging to hear. We sometimes wonder if what we are doing is worth it or beneficial and then we hear about a couple finding hope through an episode. Keep sharing with us your story and what you are struggling with or learning! 

    Jonathan Daugherty is the President and Founder of BeBroken Ministries (info below). We get the opportunity in this episode to interview him about his story and how that led to him having a heart to help individuals, couples, and families choose sexual integrity. They offer recovery resources for the addicted and support for the wounded. He also hosts a podcast called Pure Sex Radio that covers everything from sexual brokenness to relational issues. We also talk in this episode about the power of grace and forgiveness, how brokenness is the key to overcoming addiction, and insight into parenting kids and addressing sexual struggles.

Encouraging!

Marriage is tough and so often it’s not talked about enough. These two are so genuine and willing to share what they’ve learned to encourage those around them! My husband and I are so thankful for their obedience to love others, share their journey, and validate the ups/downs in marriage!

Ashley Heinrich ,

Real!!

Real marriage talk is hard to come by these days, especially within the context of a Christian marriage. These two are willing to walk the walk and share all the hard things that come up in marriage. Love it so much!!
