Perseverance To Keep An Awesome Marriage | Ep. 487

In this episode Jennie Lusko joins Dr. Kim to talk about her story of coping with the loss of her daughter and how to walk through tragedy with your marriage still intact. Jennie bravely shares her story of loss and struggle in her book, The Fight To Flourish. One thing we love about this book is that Jennie reminds us we don’t have to have it all together for God to work. Grief and struggles are real but the gospel truth is that we can find hope even in the dark. This story of God’s faithfulness and hope are well worth repeating.    We pray this episode is helpful to you and your marriage.    Subscribe to Podcast Email to make sure you never miss an episode and get noteworthy quotes, resources, and more delivered straight to your inbox!    *Music for this podcast is created by Noah Copeland.
