Summary
In this Fan Mail Friday episode, recorded during our 36th-anniversary trip to Kona, Jay and I dive into your candid questions about marriage—intimacy after babies, navigating NFP, dating on a budget, perimenopause and HRT, staying close in busy seasons, and why Christ at the center changes everything. It’s honest, practical, and hope-filled (heads-up: rated “M” for Marriage). Show up for your marriage—you’ll be encouraged.

| 0:21.9 | about faith and culture, Illuminate meets them right where they are and helps them build a lasting |

| 0:33.5 | Bible story, the context around it, how it connects to the rest of Scripture, the theology |
| 0:38.7 | behind it, and what it means for real life. It's designed for families, and so you don't need |
