In today's episode of the Marriage After God podcast, Aaron interviews Chris and Jessica Speas, long-time friends and ministry partners. From their whirlwind five-month courtship to marriage, through seasons of spiritual growth and challenges, they share how God has shaped their relationship over 13 years. After surviving a devastating tornado in Tennessee, their experience led to spiritual renewal and Jessica's ministry teaching women about biblical prophecy.

In this inspiring conversation, we explore:

• Why seeking "calm" in relationships is more valuable than emotional highs and lows
• How to maintain marriage commitment even when feelings fluctuate
• The importance of letting the Holy Spirit work in your spouse instead of trying to control them
• Why community is essential for spiritual growth and marriage health
• The power of choosing to stay married through difficult seasons
• How God uses challenging circumstances to draw us closer to Him
• Ways to rebuild spiritual intimacy after seasons of stagnation
• The beauty of allowing God to work through trauma for ministry purposes

Whether you're newlyweds seeking wisdom, walking through a spiritually dry season, or looking to deepen your faith together as a couple, this conversation offers practical insights and hope for building a marriage that honors God.
