    What To Do When You're In The Middle of A Storm

    Walking through a storm and trying to stay connected as a couple?We’d love to support you. Schedule a free Side-by-Side Strategy Session with Larry and Sue. This is a no-pressure conversation to help you gain clarity, strengthen your connection, and take practical next steps—together. 👉 Schedule your free session here:https://calendly.com/larryandsuecoaching/sidebyside-strategy-session Storms have a way of showing up without warning. They shake our confidence, test our faith, and leave us wondering what we’re supposed to do next. In this video, we share an encouragement for anyone who is in the middle of a difficult season right now. With honesty, openness, and faith, we talk about the importance of crying out to God, calling on Him in the middle of the storm, and then trusting Him enough to watch what He does. If you’re in a season where: * Life feels heavy or uncertain * You’re facing trials you didn’t expect * You’re trying to hold things together but feel overwhelmed * You’re wondering where God is in all of this This message is for you. We believe that when you call out to the Lord—right where you are—He meets you there. You don’t have to have all the answers or a perfect plan. Sometimes the most faithful step is simply to cry out to Him and trust that He is working, even when you can’t yet see it. Our hope is that this video brings encouragement, hope, and reassurance that you are not alone in the storm—and that what God does next can be far more amazing than you expect. 💬 If you’re walking through a tough season, feel free to share in the comments. You’re not alone, and we’d love to pray for and encourage you. Get full access to SideBySide Business at sidebysidebusiness.substack.com/subscribe

    How to Stay Connected in Tough Times

    Need help staying connected in tough times?Schedule a free SideBySide Strategy Session with Larry and Sue. We’ll help you identify practical next steps to strengthen your marriage while navigating business, work, and life transitions—together. 👉 Schedule your free session here:https://calendly.com/larryandsuecoaching/sidebyside-strategy-session Tough times have a way of pulling couples apart—especially when stress, uncertainty, and pressure start stacking up. In this video, we share how we’re choosing to stay connected in a challenging season by approaching the problem together, instead of letting it divide us. Rather than seeing difficulty as his issue or her issue, we’re learning to treat it as something outside of us that we face side by side. We talk about: * Why unity matters most when circumstances are uncertain * How shifting your mindset can reduce blame and tension * What it looks like to trust the Lord while still taking practical action * Why working together changes how tough seasons feel This isn’t about pretending things are easy or having everything figured out. It’s about choosing connection, faith, and teamwork when the path forward isn’t clear yet. If you and your spouse are: * Walking through a hard or confusing season * Building a business or navigating financial pressure * Trying to stay united instead of drifting apart Our hope is that this conversation encourages you to stop carrying the weight alone and start facing it together. 💬 If you have questions or want us to talk about a specific challenge you’re facing, leave a comment. We read every one and often create future videos based on what you share. Get full access to SideBySide Business at sidebysidebusiness.substack.com/subscribe

    👉 Do you feel like giving up?Schedule a FREE Side-by-Side Strategy Session here:https://calendly.com/larryandsuecoaching/sidebyside-strategy-session So often in business, we say,“God, I’m the CEO… but please come along and bless what I’m doing.” But that’s not how faith works. In this episode, we talk about what it really means to surrender control — to get out of the driver’s seat and let God lead. Not as a passenger. Not as a consultant. But as the One fully in charge.

You’ll hear:✨ Why God can’t be your co-pilot✨ The danger of asking God to bless plans He didn’t give✨ What it looks like to switch seats and trust His direction✨ How obedience brings peace — even when it’s not the path you wanted✨ Encouragement for business owners learning to follow, not force If you’re running a business and trying to carry everything on your own, this episode will challenge and encourage you to release control and trust the One who sees the whole picture. 👇 Leave us a comment if this message resonated with you, or if there’s a challenge you’re walking through that we can pray with you about.
