Let’s get to know Wes this episode!

What’s it like to be a Christian in this world? How do we maintain relationships, function?

Wes had a blast asking Emily questions about herself. Here’s part one of our “get to know us” sessions.

Dont be confused. We mean what we said. The church does hurt people. All the time. And your pain is valid. But we also deeply love the local church. We believe that if done well, it can heal. We break down a lot of our thoughts on church hurt in this episode. As people who have experienced DEEP church hurt, we pray we never invalidate your experience.

Wes & Em ask each other some fun and challenging questions in this episode. We talk social media, exes, growth, vacation spots, and so much more.

This is a super touchy conversation that Wes & Emily battled with discussing. We hope people recognize our empathy for EVERY situation in regards to deconstructing. We hope people find this episode in the hopes of finding Jesus. The real Jesus. We also hope that this episode GIVES you hope. That you would know that you can find him. That it’s okay if you’re not sure. It’s okay if you keep show...

Wes & Emily talk about the hardship of relationships and marriage. How they navigate conflict while living together and choosing each other. Trying to navigate keeping your marriage, and conflict within it, healthy.

So many of you had questions for us. This is us responding to each one that you sent. We responded to questions about parenting, marriage, friendships, and SO much more.

Highly recommend listening to this episode at your own risk. It’s a very vulnerable and raw episode. Emily shares her story with porn and her struggle with shame. We hope women who have had a confusing relationship with sex will find healing and validation through this episode.

As a young couple in full time ministry, we are always committed to be honest with what we’ve been through. Our journey in ministry hasn’t been the easiest but if not for it, we wouldn’t be where we are now. And for that, we are thankful!

follow us on instagram: emily-@embblack & wes- @w.black_10. This is probably the most vulnerable Wes & Emily have ever been. This episode should be listened to with caution. With discussions on depression, grief, anxiety, ministry hurt, weigh my loss, and mental health, we hope you will find encouragement that it doesn’t have to stay the same. That it is okay to get help & seek counsel.

The question exists; “How do we maintain friendships as an adult, in marriage, with kids?” Wes + Emily address how they are intentional + how to prioritize relationships as an adult. How to create a village, how to be okay with change of pace, how to love well, etc.

ALL THE SINGLE LADIES!!! (& men), Wes & I have been asked to talk about dating & marriage for a while. Here’s a little bit about what we have learned & witnessed. Hope you enjoy our chaos.

We're just breaking down the beginning of our story. Who we are, how we met, how we got here, where we are, etc. Its just an intro episode, we hope you enjoy.
