Stevie and Sazan Hendrix join Dr. Will Cole in their Nashville home for one of the warmest and most wide-ranging conversations the podcast has had. They share the story of dating in secret for three years because Sazan's Kurdish family had made one thing clear: marry within the culture. They talk about the wedding her parents didn't attend, the reconciliation that finally came, and how Stevie became the family favorite. Sazan shares her faith origin story — a simple prayer at 21, a dream that night, and a life that changed completely — and both reflect on why young people are flooding back to the church, what spiritual warfare actually looks like, and why being a stay-at-home mom is holy ground. They also cover Kurdish food as family medicine, raising kids with intentional screen limits, and Sazan's memorable experiences with stem cells and LA's stranger wellness trends.
