In The Shift, we're exploring the impact of major life events (marriage, new jobs, retirement, the birth of a child, etc.) on our priorities — including our commitments to faith and church communities. For some, these moments of change lead us closer to God and the family of faith; for others, these transitions put their faith and their priorities to the test.

In this episode, host Dayne Logan sits down with Mike and Sarah Van Rees to learn how empty nesting has changed their relationship with their kids, their personal callings and their marriage.

The Van Reeses share practical wisdom on how empty-nesters can avoid the perils of marital drift, divorce and detachment from church.
