Summary

Welcome to part two of our two-part special bonus episodes this week. This may very well be the most insightful, helpful episodes on marriage we’ve ever recorded. Bill Lokey, a man who became a father figure to me (Josh), a dear friend, mentor, and who joined us at Famous at Home to lead Leader’s Heart, lost his battle with cancer and went to be with Jesus on March 17th, 2023. In this episode, Bill and his beautiful wife Laurie, join us to talk about their marriage, especially in the midst of Bill’s cancer journey the past few years. Recorded 10 days before he went to be with Jesus, we get a firsthand look at how they’ve grieved, worshipped, laughed, and pressed into the journey together. The marriage wisdom in this episode is simply beautiful. I think that’s what beautiful about the last days—it offers perspective we otherwise can’t see. No matter where you’re at on your marriage journey right now, this episode will leave you desiring more, and may even inspire you to stop hiding parts of you that are scared, and press in deeper with your spouse.

1:13.7	And I just simply said, there's abs, I can teach all these skills.
1:19.5	But without Jesus in my heart, the skills will fall flat.
1:25.6	Right.
1:26.0	Because the way that I view Christy is so different through the lens of
1:30.7	Christ than if it would be through my own flesh. Yeah. That's right. And so, and that's what you
1:36.8	guys embody. That's who you are. And so for me, I'm curious and I, and I'm asking on behalf of
1:43.7	all of our famous at home family, I'm curious
