CYV IS BACK!! Thank ya Jesus! We can't believe that it has been 6 months since we sat behind these mics. So then, where have we been? Tune in to this weeks episode to hear the real and raw story behind our unecpeted pause and how through it all, God has been faithful. As always, thank you for loving and supporting us on our journey.

These aren't our favorite episodes to share, as you can probably tell in our voice, but they are necessary to speak about. We know so many of you are suffering or have suffered. Many of you have been affected by grief and trauma that continuously shows up in your life in very sneaky and painful ways. As we walk through our suffering, we want to validate the real, deep pain is causes while always pointing you back towards Jesus, since He is where our hope is. 

In this episode we continue our discussion on the importance of breaking generational communication and focusing on building a new foundation for generations to come. Tune in to hear ways that we are being intentional to allow the Lord to create a NEW way in us, regardless of where we have come from. 

Last epsisode we discussed marriages being formed by feelings. If you haven't listened to that episode then I would encourage you to listen to that first before this one. It's important not to allow our feelings to dictate our behaviour, especially in marriages. Even more so, it's important to understand where these feelings derive from, particularly in communication. Typically, we do not naturally grow in our communication. What was shown to us growing up is what we will do when we're adults. Recognizing this is vital to growth not only your marriage but in all relationships of value. Tune in to hear us discuss what this looked like for ourselves & our marriage, plus 4 steps to begin intentionality for yourself. 

We live in a culture that tells us our feelings are facts. Or, to live in YOUR truth or MY truth. This is not only untrue but also unbiblical. The heart is deceitful above all else and should not be forming our actions. Many marriages are struggling because of this very thing. Learning to manage our feelings while leaning into God's truth can rescue any marriage. Tune in to this weeks episoide as we discuss how we've worked through our feeling-formed marriage. 

Join us on this week's episode as we recap Scott's mission trip to the DR with our good friend Jim Bossler. Scott and Jim had the honor of serving the people of DR together alongside a team from our local church, Riverwood Chapel. We're excited to have Jim on with us as he shares his insight into this specific trip along with his passion, love and joy for serving others across our borders. We hope this episode shines light on missions along with lighting a spark in you to serve in a way that challenges all of our comfort in a new way.

This was a whirlwind of an episode that takes us through detours and back roads. But all these roads eventually lead us to one place, faith in the one who directs our path and knows are destination. We only need to trust the journey.
