If you can relate then please join us in this inspiring episode of Rise and Climb as I chat with Dr. Satia, the visionary behind the Thank Yo...

6 days before Michael and I were supposed to head to UT for our first anniversary trip in 3 years the Lord had something else in mind. Within 12 hours of getting the idea of changing our anniversary plans to going to WNC to help with the hurricane relief efforts God had opened all the doors and even started gently guiding our hearts to accept the call.

A few months ago I was re-reading 1 Corinthians 12 and decided it was time to have author of Navigate and co-author of Walk In Your Gift , Ben Lenz back on the show.

How come it is that once we're married it seems like the topic of sex is abandoned? There are so many lies surrounding sex and marriage that Michael and I didn't really blink at the idea of covering it on the Rise & Climb Podcast.

I jokingly saved this episode 'how Michael and I are perfect in our marriage'. We both laughed because any of the strengths we have probably came from a fight, a looooooong time of silence and division, and/or our weaknesses.
