In this heartfelt and vulnerable episode, Blake and Jeremy unpack a multi-year journey through uncertainty, major life transitions, and learning to trust God in the in-between. They open up about navigating the emotional roller coaster of a business acquisition that felt dead more than once, the upheaval of leaving jobs, church, and school, and the loneliness and pruning that followed. Through it all, they learned not to waste the waiting — leaning into each other, communicating better than ever, and growing in trust and spiritual maturity. They also get real about how they’re prioritizing their marriage in this new season, from nighttime debriefs to scheduled connection time, and even answer some listener-submitted questions about how they met and knew they were meant for each other.

In this episode, you’ll be able to…

Understand how trust in God can evolve in seasons of uncertainty and waiting.

Learn practical ways we prioritize connection in marriage through changing routines and stress.

Be encouraged to find purpose in the wait and see struggle as an invitation to grow.

Singer, songwriter, pastor, and author Tauren Wells joins Blake to explore what true, lasting happiness looks like through a biblical lens. They unpack the idea that spiritual happiness is the anchor that gives meaning to every other kind of joy—whether vocational, relational, or even found in everyday moments like cleaning the house. The conversation centers around the foundational truth that spiritual happiness is the anchor that allows joy in all other areas to not only exist but to last. Together, they challenge the belief that God only cares about our sanctification, reminding listeners that He’s also invested in our flourishing and delight. This conversation is a rich reminder that joy doesn’t have to be loud to be real—and that God is at work even in the simplest of things.

Be encouraged that God cares about both your sanctification and your flourishing.
