This episode is the first of a 2 part series in which Chris & Wendy revisit another season of curveballs, derailments, and tilt-a-whirls from the early days of their marriage.  (Yep, the metaphorical mashups keep multiplying!)  In Part 1, Wendy tells the story of being a young mother of two, facing unexpected news from Chris, and what it stirred up in her. Wendy also shares one of the pivotal stories from her life that this turn of events landed on for her.

Shaking Up Shalom (and Waking to Reality) (Part 1-Wendy)

Join licensed clinical mental health counselor Wendy Osborn and her husband Chris as they share intimately about their journey  through three decades of marriage, and the healing and growth God has brought them individually and as a couple in the process. From a storybook beginning right out of an 80s rom-com, though times of disappointment, heartache, seemingly unresolvable conflict, loss, and grief, their story forms the backdrop for considering how God uses struggle to draw folks closer to the real Jesus. Surviving Saturday is all about holding tenaciously on to hope in the darkest days-- in between the crucifixion on Friday, and his resurrection and ascension on Sunday.
