We all enter marriage already shaped — by our childhood, our family patterns, and what we learned was “normal.” But what happens when those patterns surface in conflict, leadership, and intimacy? In this episode, Grant and Joan explore how childhood forms us, why many men struggle to go beneath the surface, and how the Church can disciple men in emotional courage. Most importantly, they talk about inviting Jesus to redeem what shaped us — so we don’t simply repeat it.
