Love Works
Welcome to the LOVE Works podcast. My name is Chris Duncan and my wife, Jennifer, and I are marriage coaches and ministers in our local church. We’ve been married for over 20 years and have 6 wonderful children. Over the years, we’ve experienced infertility, miscarriages, become parents, had career changes, fostered children, and adopted triplets, which among many other life experiences, have helped to shape us, our marriage, and our family. We hope to share some of the things we’ve learned to help others with their journey to have a successful marriage and strong family, while keeping focus on our faith as a guide. Thanks for listening and always remember Love Works, so let’s get to work.
