The Freedom in Finding Unity (Priorities, 3 of 4)
Finding unity is the first step in functionally living out your priorities. Every couple wants unity, but few manage to get there. Why is that?

In this episode, we’ll discuss the benefits of unity and some of the challenges necessary to get there. We…
Maintaining Trust After Rebuilding It

You’ll have to listen for the details, since those words may not mean what you…

This episode puts that conversation on steroids: learning how to seek out and gain insight into each other and internalize it in healthier ways. If you ACTIVELY listen to this episode,…
Talking about talking
Healthy communication is like breathing: you take it for granted until you can’t do it. This week we’re starting a series on communication by laying some groundwork and dissecting the Bible’s most common verse about communication (hint, it’s not actually about communication). Finally, we cover 5 basic habits every couple needs to talk and listen with greater skill and intentionality. We hope it blesses you!…
