Happy New Year from Long Haul Marriage!

In this episode, we talk about how grateful we are that couples are reaching out for help, and how much we love normalizing all the issues that we all go through, especially the challenges that come up during the Holidays! We discuss moving into the new year with grace and intentionality, New Years "practices" vs resolutions, avoiding February "quit day," and some practical ways to have "just enough discipline" to start some good habits. We get vulnerable about our own challenges, and talk about how to "clean up the messes" before giving them time to break down intimacy.

We hope this encourages you guys as you begin 2025 - and remember, comment your "one word" for the year - we'd love to join you in prayer about that!

In this final episode of the original 6 part (audio only) series, Brian and Jamie discuss the moments where they believe God "resurrected" them, after their long seasons of grief after losing their son.  They recall feeling "awakened" by something/someone outside of themselves.  They share intimately about their unique faith struggles, from questioning and doubting God, to ultimately discovering new truths and reconstructing a new faith on a newfound framework.  They share excitedly about how they believe this is the only true way to find God - having your faith shaken to it's core, and becoming "enlightened at gunpoint."  Remember to keep following as we will begin video podcasts following this episode.

In episode 5 of this 6 part series, Brian and Jamie share about the final moments of Corban's life, the debilitating grief, and it's toll on their faith, and their marriage.  They talk about how hard it is to "be there" for your partner, when you have nothing to give, and why so many couples don't make it through challenges like this.  They share openly about their own faith struggles, questioning and doubting God, and their beliefs about him, and how he "bent over backwards" to show himself to be intimately involved in their lives, even in the midst of the worst pain imaginable. They pray this encourages you to press in, go towards one another in crisis, and above all, share your pain so you can heal.

In this episode, Part 4 of their 6 part series, Brian and Jamie talk about their faith community that surrounded them during their darkest nights, about their unique faith struggles, and their questioning God during the 53 days that Corban was in ICU.  They describe the "miraculous" recovery from ICU, getting to bring Corban home after spending 2 months in the hospital, when the doctors gave Corban a "0% chance" of ever coming home.  Jamie shares how God woke her up, giving her Corban's name, and how excited they were that their son was going to be used in a mighty way, only to be disappointed, confused, and disallusioned in what would become the greatest pain in their lives.  They go on to share what they believe God was speaking to them immediately before his birth, and death, giving them the hope that God was and still is involved in their lives.
