So needed in this season

2020 has been hard on our marriage and that of so many of our friends! This has been such an easy and informative resource that has really been a lifesaver in this stressful time. Thank you for continuing to put out great content in the midst!

Excellent Resource

This podcast has been so insightful and inspiring! As a divorced woman, I wish I had these episodes to listen to and learn from 10 years ago! I truly believe that Chris and Tracy's conversations can bring healing to struggling marriages, and to marriages that just need that extra encouragement, humility and tools.
