It is hard to trust someone you do not know personally, so in this episode we hope to earn more of your trust by giving you more detailed information about us! We talk about how we came to know the Lord personally and about our early years of marriage.

We also discuss the importance of communication in marriage and how we personally communicate within our marriage. Every marriage is different, but we hope that by sharing our personal experiences, we can encourage you to grow in your relationship as a husband and wife as well.

It is fun to reminisce, and we hope you enjoy getting to know us a bit better. We look forward to getting to know YOU better too.

Here is what you can expect in this episode:
1:26 - Shanda's testimony
3:35 - James's testimony
5:28 - The simplicity of the gospel
7:37 - How we met
13:20 - Are long distance relationships good?
16:15 - Marriage counseling and the importance of communication

Over the past year or two, we have been having a Saturday morning coffee date. During these slower mornings, we ask the kids to play by themselves and we intentionally sit down to talk about life and connect as a husband and wife. It was during these life-chats that we began to toss around the idea of starting a podcast!

With so many outside influences vying for our attention, we want to be a positive voice speaking life and truth into your home.

Communication between a husband and wife is so important and in this episode we hope that by sharing a glimpse into how we communicate, we can encourage you to have "Saturday morning coffee dates" with your spouse as well.

Some upcoming topics:
- Overcoming the challenges of parenting in our current world
- Communication in marriage
- Homeschooling
- The importance of critical thinking from a biblical perspective
- Postpartum Depression
- Strategies for raising boys and girls
- Logical Fallacies
- and so much more!

We'd love to hear from you!
