In this episode, I sit down with Steve and Gloria Crall, a couple who’ve spent their entire lives in southern Iowa. Steve has worked the land as a farmer, while Gloria has worn many hats — including years as a dedicated cook at Moravia Community School District.

Married for 55 years, the Cralls have built a life rooted in faith, family, and hard work. Together, they’ve raised three wonderful children, watched five grandchildren grow, and now get to enjoy three great-grandchildren.

Our conversation is a touching reflection on their family history, their deep connection to their community, and the strength of a marriage that’s stood the test of time.

I think you’ll find a lot of warmth, wisdom, and maybe even a few lessons about what it really means to build a life together.
