Summary

In this hilarious, unfiltered, and deeply real episode, Kenz and her husband Josh finally sit down to share their full relationship story—the "rated R" version (okay, not that R-rated, but more real than usual!). From awkward dating app experiences to their messy first kiss and all the bumps in between, they hold nothing back. You’ll hear about cold shoulders, unexpected speeches, long-distance blunders, and how God met them in the middle of their mess. Whether you're single, dating, or married, this story will have you laughing, cringing, and maybe tearing up too. The ultimate reminder that God writes the best (and sometimes the most surprising) love stories.
