Hope Relentless: The Christian Marriage Podcast
We're two former D1 athletes who built a business, raised a family, led in ministry, and learned the hard way that the drive that makes you effective in the world can quietly damage what matters most at home. Hope Relentless is our podcast for Christian couples who lead — in business, ministry, and community — and want a marriage that doesn't just survive the pressure of that calling, but thrives in it.
