In this episode of Me & My Pod, we rewind to the chaotic beauty of our beginning: dating for 11 months, getting engaged, and eloping just 11 days later.

We talk candidly about what it looked like to skip the honeymoon phase and dive straight into married life during the first week of classes, living in a tiny attic apartment, navigating culture clashes, laundry wars, and learning each other’s habits the hard way.

But we also dive into the deeper stuff:

• What it means to build a marriage without premarital counseling
• How cultural and financial realities shaped our choices
• Facing a terrifying pregnancy scare just before starting full-time ministry
• Learning how to say “yes” to each other again and again, even when life gets heavy
• Why marriage and ministry have never been separate for us

If you’re newly married, preparing for marriage, in ministry, or just trying to figure out how to stay together through the chaos, this one’s for you.

Let’s hear from you!
