BEHIND THE SCENES

Today we have the honor of interviewing Dale and Veronica Partridge. They've had a rough year and they're going to get real and tell us what has helped them survive. It's something that I think can help in every single area of life, and it's part of what it actually means to follow Christ. So if you're going through a really hard trial right now or are facing any suffering like sickness, illness, miscarriage, or disease, then you need to listen to this episode!

In today's episode, we are talking with some of our good friends, Matt and Jordan Dooley. We know you're going to love this episode. So if you don't follow Jordan, she is just an amazing source of inspiration and encouragement for women. She's got a blog, an online shop, a virtual course and she has a book coming out called, Own Your Everyday, so make sure you go grab a copy of that! Matt had a short NFL career, got into medical sales and is now working full time with Jordan. We're going to talk to them about marriage, working together as a couple, and how they protect their marriage within that.

We are sitting down with Dr. Emerson Eggerichs! Dr. Emerson has his Ph.D. in Child and Family Studies at Michigan State University. He's also the author of the New York Times bestseller book, Love and Respect. He's authored several other books on this topic and he and his wife Sarah now travel around hosting conferences, discussing love and respect, and just how influential this concept and this understanding is to us all. Whether you have been married for years, months, or plan to get married in the future, then you should really check out this interview!

We are talking with Jana Kramer and her husband Mike. You may know Jana as a big-time country singer or you might know her from the TV show One Tree Hill. She is an entrepreneur herself and the co-founder of Moms with Babes boxes. And of course, Mike and Jana have their own podcast together called Whine Down. They have just an awesome story and we were just super encouraged by their vulnerability and their honesty. You're going to want to definitely listen to this episode if you've ever been through a really rough spot in your relationship, specifically if you've ever struggled with infidelity or trust issues or how to regain trust and rebuild trust in your relationship. They have just lots of insightful encouraging things to share.

We've got a really fun episode today. We're sitting down with two close friends of ours, Jeff and Alyssa Bethke! They've got to be some of the most intentional, wise, and just all around fun human beings that we know. And this episode is just packed full of goodness. We cover a ton of ground, with Alyssa dropping bombs, and Jeff with all of his energy and wisdom, bringing it really hard. They share their heart behind Family Teams, and all the things they are currently doing, like their own podcast, The Real Life Podcast, their books, from "31 Creative Ways to Encourage and Love" to "To Hell With The Hustle". It's a really great episode with a ton of truth and wisdom!

Today's episode is another audiobook reading! We hope you guys are enjoying these. In this episode, we share about fighting the purity battle and how we struggled with it. This was probably one of the hardest chapters we had to write, but it has prompted a lot of great conversation from all of you! Culture has overvalued the wedding day and undervalued the promise of forever within marriage, in the same way, they have overvalued virginity and undervalued purity. So we unpack what purity looks like to us and how we should refocus our energy on fighting the purity battle and not just the virginity battle.

Today we are talking with John Mark Comer! Few people have had more of a shaping and an influence in our life and our spiritual development. Whether it's his podcast from Bridgetown Church, actually going to his church, or his books, we have learned so much from him. Jeremy and I actually met at his church, 9 years ago. It was the first ever service of their downtown campus in downtown Portland. Today we talk with him about marriage, relationships, and God's design for all of it. Check out all of his books because he is a wealth of wisdom when it comes to many other things. To find out more about John Mark, visit his website at johnmarkcomer.com

More audiobook readings! We are reading from the chapter titled A Creative Type of Love. This is our favorite chapter! I know we said last week that the Principle of Sharing was our favorite, but this truly is our favorite. We share stories from when we were dating about how we chose to PURSUE CREATIVELY. DATE INTENTIONALLY. LOVE FAITHFULLY. This is essentially where our "Love Letter Life" began; in the typewriter letters, long distance dating, and desire to do things differently. We hope you enjoy listening to these audiobook readings. Share with us what your favorite chapter from "A Love Letter Life" is. What about it resonates with you?

Today we are sitting down and talking with Jeremy and Jinger Vuolo. If you recognize those names that because they are on the TLC show "Counting On" and Jinger grew up on the show, "19 Kids and Counting." We get to dive into the Vuolo's love story and how they prepared more for their marriage than their wedding day and being newlyweds like ourselves. We talk about what they're doing to be intentional and how they protected their purity, and how they're pursuing oneness, and the early stages of having a baby. So we get to hear all their thoughts on that and ultimately what they are doing to pursue a love letter life. It's a really fun conversation. We think you guys are going to love it!

In this episode, we are sharing more of our new book, A Love Letter Life! , is probably one of our favorite chapters in the book. It talks about a love story that helped shape our love story.

For this week's episode, we are so excited because we are sitting down to interview the couple who has probably had the biggest impact on our love story in our marriage today. Chris and Jamie Herb. Jamie was Audrey's college mentor and Chris was the Area Director for Young Life when Audrey was in college. Chris and Jamie had a huge impact on Audrey's college experience. When Audrey started dating Jeremy, and they got engaged, they asked Chris and Jamie if they would do the premarital counseling. They inspired the Marriage Journal. They inspired so much of our book, A Love Letter Life, which is available everywhere now! They were huge supporters of Jeremy and Audrey in their relationship leading up to their wedding day and to this very day as well. And also just huge supporters of them in the writing of A Love Letter Life and Beating 50 Percent and all the other things that they do. We hope that you receive something amazing from this interview because it is full of gold!

We have another sneak peak into our book that just released, A Love Letter Life. This one is the first chapter, which is titled A Patient Pursuit. It's all about our time of friendship; from when we first started hanging out. We discuss how we continued to prepare ourselves as individuals for the eventual day that we would be married. And then also just what it looked like for Jeremy to bravely and persistently pursue Audrey. During this time, we spent lots of time around community and other friends and just learning more about each other.

It's book launch day!!! A very big part of the reason why we wrote A Love Letter Life, was that we felt very strongly, when we were engaged, that we wanted to be more intentional about preparing for our marriage than preparing for our wedding day. It's something that our culture as a whole, especially our generation, has lost sight of. We spend all this time planning this epic wedding day, but then forget to prepare for an epic marriage. That's something that we are really passionate about. So we are going to share six things with you that found super helpful during our engagement that helped us prepare for our marriage. Hopefully they will help you in whichever walk of life you are currently in. To order our book, go to: https://aloveletterlife.com.
