Fortitude: strength of mind that enables a person to encounter danger or bear pain or adversity with courage.

We will be having conversations centered on relationships, faith, mentality, trauma, healing…ultimately all the things in life that make up the human experience! Join us each week and come away encouraged, hopeful, and most importantly filled with a little more fortitude.

Emotional Q & A with my Wife | Ep. 47

Mar 04 2025 32 mins

The tables are turned this week as Micah asks Sarah the questions she asked him last week. SHOCKER, she is a bit more emotional than he was as she goes into her answers :) Our goal with doing Q & A's every so often is that you'll feel inspired to do something similar with a partner or a friend! We learn something new about each other every time we do this, and we always finish the

Fun Q&A with my Husband (I learned things about him I had never known!) | Ep. 46

Feb 25 2025 32 mins

We love doing Q&A episodes every so often! Not only does it allow our listeners to get to know us better, but we almost always learn something about each other that we didn't already know. I ask Micah Q's like, what was your favorite childhood memory (this answer is a super fun one), what is something you learned from your parents that you value most, what's your favorite guilty pl

Mom Guilt vs Dad Guilt...what do they tell us about ourselves and how we view what is "selfish" | Ep. 44

Feb 11 2025 37 mins

As I (Sarah) was heading to a massage the other day I was wondering if men experience parental guilt when they take time for themselves the way I know that so many women do. So I decided to ask Micah about this and we have a candid conversation about how parental guilt differs but can also feel very much the same for both men and women. We hope this encourages someone out there. We

How Unanswered Prayers, Dealing with chronic pain/illness, and losing people we Love Impacts our view of God's Character | Ep.43

Feb 04 2025 37 mins

Micah has been dealing with chronic pain for years and today we are unpacking how persistent pain/illness effects not just your day-to-day mentality, but if you're praying for healing and not receiving it, your prayer life and faith as well. We also touch on losing loved ones who you've prayed to be healed and how our understanding of God's character can make or break the way we lo

Last Episode of the year and the season! We continue our discussion from last week moving into the habits and faith component of being new parents. We dive into how we are learning to form new disciplines and ways of worshiping God with less free time (and more exhaustion, ha!) than we had before. We also talk transparently about how difficult it can be to remain present in the now
