In this episode of Love By Faith, Kyle and Selina express the key to getting through the tough transitions as they share personal stories of buying a home, renovating, and trying to get pregnant.

Last week, Kyle recalled his blurred state as he dealt with the grief and loss of his mother. However, the hard seasons had only just begun. Amid it all, there was a race to buy the perfect home, the delay in renovating said home, and to top it all off, their family planning season was wrecked by the mounting stress.

Every couple is going to face hard seasons. However, if you're focused on the right things, and stay aligned with the will of God, then you just might come out of those tough transitions better than we did. May this episode be a sense of guidance, and a reminder always to seek God FIRST so that all the other things can follow!

In this episode, Kyle & Selina Almodovar share their most current experience of getting out of a season of grief & loss and how couples can build a strong foundation, even during the hard seasons.

After a two-week break to mourn the loss of Kyle's father, Kyle and Selina start off the newest topic of their 2024 FOUNDATION series, which just so happens to be about the HARD SEASONS. Having just gone through this themselves, it's only fitting that they open up with a frank and vulnerable discussion on loss, grief, and how couples can maintain their relationship when going through those particular hard seasons.

We're back! The not-so-lucky part of our story when it comes to loss and grief is that Kyle lost both of his parents while we were married. Join us in this episode as we walk through each season of loss and how we overcame a season of grieving a parent not once, but twice. There were some major revelations, lessons, similarities, and contrasts to each season and we hope it encourages and inspires any couple listening to love by faith through this hard season.

PS: We want to express deep gratitude and appreciation to anyone and everyone who prayed over our family during this hard season!

Other topics mentioned in this episode:
- losing a parent
- post-partum depression
- the season of grief
- praying together
- seasons of loss
- feeling hopeless in your marriage
- getting through the heavy seasons together
- committing to your marriage

Once you begin to have kids, how do you balance ministry life with family life? In this episode, Kyle and Selina share how they went from serving in church ministries as singles and as a married couple, and how they had to relearn what it meant to serve God's children after having kids.

Even with all the planning and preparation (and Sabbaticals) that go into having kids, you and your spouse could still wind up feeling burned out once you bring ministry back into the picture. How you used to serve and the values of serving God's people will take on an entirely new meaning as the blessings of children come into play. Tune in as we share what we did, what didn't work, and what we consider now to raise our children to love the Lord, and serve His church through ministry.

Other topics mentioned in this episode:
- summer break (with kids)
- church ministry
- raising kids in church
- children's ministry
- family ministry
- raising multiple kids
- fourth trimester
- balancing church and home life
- parenting

What would happen if your ministry is not serving your marriage? In this episode, Kyle & Selina discuss how serving in marriage can change a marriage for the better... or worse. They discuss how ministry can and will affect your marriage, the two ways married couples can benefit from serving in ministries (both within a church setting or outside of it), and what could happen if a ministry overshadows a marriage.

Where does ministry fit into a busy life? And how can ministry affect your relationship? In this episode, Kyle & Selina share how ministry can help couples, how it could hinder them, and what it really means to when they properly approach ministry.

As we open up the new series on MINISTRY, we want to share with you how ministry can often be overlooked and overused. However, that's not the way that God intended it, there are certain conditions for certain types of ministries, and, it should always flow with your first ministry of marriage.

Conflict resolution in a Godly way is the only way to overcome triggering issues and post-traumatic responses that lead to fighting and arguments within a relationship. In this episode, Kyle and Selina get vulnerable as they dive into what it looked like for them to enter into conflicts and how they could shift from toxic arguments into conflict resolutions filled with love.

Getting into heated debates, arguments, or conflicts (whatever you wanna call them!) will never be easy if you and your partner do not know how to respond in love. Selina and Kyle go deep in this conversation to express what the difference looks and feels when God enters into any conflicts within a relationship.
