Mary Marantz is the bestselling author of Dirt, Slow Growth Equals Strong Roots, and now, Underestimated! We learned SO MUCH from her in our conversation about how to name and stop the cycles of fear that hold us back from all God has for us. We get into topics such as why boredom can lead to breakthrough, how our brain can accurately predict our odds of success based on past experiences, and how we can CHANGE that experience to up those odds. Get out a notepad for this one because Mary gives tons of tangible tips that can be applied no matter where you're at in your journey!

Dr. Amanda McNeil is is not only one of our personal counselors who has helped us build a marriage we are excited about, but she a doctor of Psychology and Theology as well as having her own personal story of deep loss and grief. She recently released a book called "Overcoming the Overcast: Navigating the Storms of Grief with God", in which she combines groundbreaking neuroscience and deep biblical insight to help with navigating loss while holding both profound pain and true hope.

In this conversation we get into how our view of God's character can LITERALLY rewire our brain and how that then translates to how we process loss. We discuss healthy ways of navigating personal loss as well as what can be truly helpful if we are supporting a grieving friend. Whether you're familiar with grief or not, this is a do not miss episode!

We get asked often about the habits we have that strengthen our faith and help us put God at the center of our life and marriage. Many days our "ideal" list of habits doesn't happen, but we discuss some of the practical, small habits we've attached to other daily tasks that have been helpful for us whether or not those bigger "ideals" actually happen in a day. God knows the desires of our heart and His presence and love never change.
