In this episode of Andy and Jenn Talk About Stuff, we open up about the deeply personal journey behind Jenn's debut album, You Get What You Get. Born out of a season of loss, self-doubt, and full-on financial collapse, this story is about more than music—it's about obedience, healing, and trusting God when the road ahead is completely unclear.

Join us as we talk through how a simple worship recording led to Nashville, working with producers tied to legends like Johnny Cash and Katy Perry, and making a full album with barely any budget—but lots of faith. Jenn shares transparently about motherhood, body image struggles, the tension of calling vs. practicality, and what it meant to create something real in the middle of chaos.

If you're a young adult navigating your purpose, trying to balance faith, family, and big dreams, this episode will remind you that God's timing is wild—but always right.

In this powerful episode of Andy and Jenn Talk About Stuff, we peel back the curtain on one of the hardest seasons of our 22-year marriage—the 2008 financial crash. As young parents navigating the chaos of a crumbling mortgage industry, bankruptcy, foreclosure, and repossession, we open up about the raw truth of what it looked like to lose nearly everything… and still find purpose.

We don’t just talk about what went wrong—we unpack how faith, community, and some truly humbling moments changed how we see money, marriage, and what it really means to trust God in the dark. From fighting shame to learning how to receive help, to rebuilding a life that would eventually launch new ministries and music, this is our story of collapse—and unexpected calling.

If you’re a young adult looking for transparent, hard-earned wisdom about relationships, finances, and faith, this episode is for you.
