S04E30 What happens when your marriage, your dreams, and your faith are all tested at once?


In this powerful episode, we sit down with Becky and Mike as they open up about their journey—one marked by deep love, devastating loss, and a relentless pursuit of healing. From the early years of marriage filled with hope and plans for the future, to the heartbreak of infertility, multiple miscarriages, and the weight of unspoken grief, their story is a raw look into the realities many couples silently carry.


Becky shares the emotional rollercoaster of fertility testing, surprise pregnancies, and what it felt like to miscarry in silence. Mike offers his perspective on navigating invisible depression and learning how to show up when he didn’t have the answers. Together, they unpack the strain that grief placed on their relationship—and the healing they found when they turned back toward God and each other.


You’ll hear how they walked through adoption, wrestled with identity and loss, and ultimately found a deeper connection by surrendering the expectations they once clung to.


Whether you’re in the thick of a hard season or supporting someone who is, this conversation is a reminder: there is still hope on the other side of heartbreak.
