OurTapestry Life Podcast

What do you do when life throws you a curveball and nothing goes the way you planned? On the first episode of Our Tapestry Life, TR and Mya Burns get honest about 21 years of marriage: pastoring young, five restaurant locations, closing the last one, grief, depression, and why Mya almost walked away every year.

If you're grieving the life you thought you'd have, this one is for you. Starting over is not failure.
