In this episode, Ryan and Selena…

ListenMany couples experience separation for days, weeks, or even months because of work-related travel. If you or your husband/wife travel for a corporate job or military deployment, you will face unique challenges when it comes to staying connected emotionally (and physically), as well as maintaining spouse-honoring (and God-honoring) integrity while apart. In today’s podcast, we cover five ways to fight for personal integrity while one…
ListenEvery marriage begins with purpose, passion, and intentional pursuit, but few marriages stay that way. Maintaining passion and joy in marriage is largely dependent both spouses committing to a lifelong pursuit.

ListenSome of the fiercest conversations we’ve ever had have started with questions about headship, submission, and roles.

ListenIn today’s episode, we answer listener questions. Some on the lighter side, some tough, all honest.

We must ask, how can we conform our understanding of sex and intimacy to God’s original design? How can we honor God…

The result was our family vision statement, which has helped us immensely since. Listen to today’s episode as we…

Listen in as we discuss tangible, creative, and inexpensive gift ideas, how to…
