There’s been a shift in my heart, and I wanna talk about that today and what that means for The Jar Podcast, for y

#132 - Are You Going Through Some Painful Circumstances in Your Marriage Right Now? The Surprising GIFT of Pain and How to Use Pain to Heal!

Aug 12 2023 16 mins

I don’t think anybody goes through a painful experience in their life and thinks, “Wow, this is a good thing I”m going through right now” or “Wow, this pain is really serving a purpose.” I don’t think that perspective is often a first instinct, but it doesn’t mean that the pain that you’re going through right now in your marriage or in your heart is for no reaso

Jul 22 2023 16 mins

Some call it sassy. Some say it’s strong-willed. Others call it normal. When a wife purses her lips and puts her hands on her hips and corrects, finger shakes, eye-rolls, bites back with a comeback, or gives “the look.” The husband appeases, sits back, gives in, or avoids.
