What if your marriage wasn’t just surviving—but actually healing you?

In this powerful episode, Jerrad sits down with author and speaker Gabe Lyons (The Fight for Us) to talk about the real work of building a thriving marriage—especially when life throws curveballs like special needs parenting, trauma, and unspoken pain.

They unpack:

The power of radical honesty (and why most couples never get there)
How to stop nursing wounds in silence and start creating real intimacy
Why “no secrets” might be the most life-changing marriage rule
What to do when you feel emotionally disconnected
How confession and emotional leadership can radically change your marriage and parenting

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your marriage or unsure how to lead your family spiritually—this conversation is for you.

0:00.0	1-Peter 3-7 was such a convicting passage for me because it says, look, cherish your wife,
0:05.2	care for her, treat her in an understanding way so that your prayers are not hindered.
0:09.7	And this is like the only passage in the Bible that gives you this formula that says,
0:13.8	no, you could be praying all night in your closet.
0:16.2	And guess what?
0:16.8	It's hitting the ceiling because I'm watching how you're treating your wife.

0:57.0	and I've always kind of been focused on audio, but I've most recently been trying to take
1:01.7	video seriously, and so I'm putting all of these interviews on YouTube for video form.
1:07.2	And there's just so much happening kind of as you're watching the interview that you would not
1:11.0	catch if you're just listening to the audio version, the little smirks, the chuckles, the faces,
1:16.1	even the tears. And so if you want to catch the full experience of the interview or any of these
1:21.2	episodes, go to YouTube also. I get a lot of emails and comments on, you know, people trying to
