LEGACY: This is Our MINISTRY Legacy! (Season Finale!) | Love By Faith with Kyle & Selina Almodovar #084

In their final season two episode, Kyle and Selina explore what it means to create a lasting ministry legacy as a married couple. 

God calls us to more than just companionship in marriage—He invites us to build something meaningful together that impacts His kingdom.

• The maximum reach in marriage is leaving a lasting ministry legacy that wouldn't be successful without both spouses
• Finding your ministry calling requires identifying where God has shown up most powerfully in your lives
• Our personal testimony of transformation through Christ becomes a foundation for ministry
• Working together on meaningful projects creates a unique bond that strengthens marriage
• Married couples have unique gifts that, when combined, create ministry opportunities neither could accomplish alone
• Intentionally discussing ministry calling before marriage helps couples align their vision
• Ministry legacy evolves through different seasons of marriage and family life


THANK YOU for being a part of this season 2 journey! We'll be taking a break for a couple of months to rest, refresh, and prepare for an all-new season this fall! See you then!

leaving a lasting legacy with ministry.

Speaker 2: 0:03

The maximum, the reach, is to leave a lasting ministry that you and your spouse do together. That would never be successful without the other person.

Speaker 1: 0:12

How can we help couples figure out what their ministry legacy is? We hate to break it to you, but this is the last episode of the season.

Speaker 2: 0:21

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.

Speaker 1: 0:24

We're not perfect people by any means but by trusting in God we learned what it takes to build a friendship a relationship and marriage that has stood the test of time.

Speaker 2: 0:36

With a keeping it real style. We're going to talk to you about everything everything that we've been through are going through and have overcome all by learning how to lean on God and each other in order to help you learn how to love by faith. Man Selena yeah, it's here. It's here, it's here. We made it. It takes a lot like this is why I waited so long to say yes to doing this, the podcast. Yeah, saying yes to doing the podcast yeah.

Speaker 2: 1:21

Yeah, because I knew that once I said yes, it was going to be this much work.

Speaker 1: 1:30

Yes, it's a lot of work.

Speaker 2: 1:31

I'm saying all this because we're at the last episode of the season. Yes, and it feels like it's been a long season. It's taken a long time to get here and I'm grateful for what the Lord has done through it and all the great talks we've had.

Speaker 1: 1:46

As we go on, we remember.

Speaker 2: 1:55

With that being said, do you want me to talk about what's your favorite memory from season two?

Speaker 1: 1:59

Kyle. I feel like at this point in the game we can talk about whatever we want, Because the people who made it this far thank you, PS. Welcome to Love by Faith. We love you, we're here.

Speaker 2: 2:11

Kyle Selena.

Speaker 1: 2:12

If you're here for the first time ever, welcome. We hate to break it to you, but this is the last episode of the season. Good news is you have a plethora 80-something episodes that you can go back and listen to while we take our very short break before we head into a new season. But we're glad you're here. For those of you guys who are listening, I think you think it's okay for us to say whatever we want to say at this point.

Speaker 2: 2:38

I think you think.

Speaker 1: 2:39

Yes, I think they'll be okay because they know us and they get it, and it's like hey, hey, we made it. We're not perfect people, we're just by any means two, two people out here putting out a podcast we're just doing what the lord has called us the lord tells us what to say.

Speaker 1: 2:56

So, kyle, whatever you got to say, we're going to trust that holy spirit is moving in a direction that he wants to do it this is not our podcast. This is the holy spirit's podcast amen and we're just here to say whatever we got to say, to get that out there.

Speaker 2: 3:09

So what series are we in?

Speaker 1: 3:10

We are in the Legacy series, guys, and all month long we have tried to help you guys understand why it's important to look ahead and why it's important to plan ahead to leave a lasting legacy. We talked about as we tried to make it as broad as possible. We talked about family, we talked about friendships, we talked about your health, we talked about finances and we're going to wrap this up in a pretty little, as Kyle loves to say all the time.

Speaker 1: 3:43

That's right, and we're going to talk about leaving a lasting legacy with ministry, with ministry. I don't know about you, kyle, but I know that any person who is a believer, who is a true Christian, a follower of Christ, they are being called into a ministry, some sort of place and setting where their God-given gifts are meant to be used for the glorifying of him and him alone, and to also create disciples and to bring people to come to know him by sharing the gospel. And so I believe everybody's called to a ministry. However, once you get married, when two become one, god creates a new calling for that specific creation, and that specific creation must go into a ministry.

Speaker 2: 4:41

I'm smirking because we're on the same page here.

Speaker 1: 4:44

Really.

Speaker 2: 4:45

Okay, what were you gonna say? Coming into planning this episode and to doing my homework on this episode? Yes, my, my main point was that god didn't just call you to get married, to just have a friend forever, and die.

Speaker 1: 5:01

It's not just about you the bare minimum.

Speaker 2: 5:02

Minimum is have some children teach them about him and then die, right. But the maximum, the reach, is to leave a lasting ministry that you and your wife do together, you and your spouse do together. That would never be successful without the other person.

Speaker 1: 5:20

Right, yes, yes.

Speaker 2: 5:21

A ministry that would never reach its height without your partner's faith pushing it.

Speaker 1: 5:30

Without your partner's talents, pushing it together.

Speaker 2: 5:35

Yes, I mean some couples do homeless ministry, Some couples do financial ministry, some couples do parenting ministry. Yes, right.

Speaker 1: 5:46

Yes.

Speaker 2: 5:48

Our ministry legacy is love by faith. Yes, it is teaching couples to love each other really well.

Speaker 1: 5:54

Amen.

Speaker 2: 5:55

It's to teach couples that it doesn't take perfect people yes, To love each other really well, to leave a lasting legacy of love, to be the grandparents that loved each other till death.

Speaker 1: 6:06

Do them part that loved each other, that inspired them to find that love, to give them the hope that that love is out there.

Speaker 2: 6:13

Yes, To live that God-centered marriage.

Speaker 1: 6:16

Yes.

Speaker 2: 6:17

That's our ministry legacy.

Speaker 1: 6:20

Big.

Speaker 2: 6:21

Hero 6. Got it, follow that one, and so so selena yes, kyle I know growing up you had an idea of what your ministry life term, lifelong legacy was gonna be. What you told me? The story that you had this dream of having a coffee shop oh, yes right yes.

Speaker 1: 6:43

Right, yes.

Speaker 2: 6:44

Was this your ministry dream?

Speaker 1: 6:46

I don't know if it was. No, it wasn't my ministry dream, it was just I wanted a very quaint cottage looking coffee house. I thought it was a nice vibe and I wanted to maintain that vibe throughout my life.

Speaker 2: 6:59

Okay.

Speaker 1: 7:00

My original ministry that I thought, which, I guess, kind of butterfly affected its way to this couch, if you will. Okay, my ministry, I think when I was about 13, 14, 15 years old, is when I felt this in my heart and spirit I wanted to become a doctor. Okay, but not just any doctor, I wanted to become an ob-gyn okay and then it it slowly shifted from ob-gyn to just a doula.

Speaker 1: 7:31

I wanted to. I I dreamed of becoming this doula because I wanted to deliver baby. How did I know what ob-gyn was? Because I watched the cosby show and dr huxtable was ob OBGYN. He delivered babies. So I was like I want to deliver babies, I want to be an OBGYN because that's what Dr Huxtable became. That. And then I learned like, oh, a doula is a little bit personal, it's a little bit easier. So I wanted to do that. It's more supportive, it's more in tune. And I wanted to be a doula because I wanted to hold these babies and I wanted to be one of the first people to pray into these babies as they came into the world and I wanted to declare God in them through the passing of my hands into their family. That was my legacy, that was what I wanted to do.

Speaker 1: 8:27

So my whole high school career I'm going to be a doctor, I'm going to be a doctor, I'm going to be a doctor. I went to college pre-med. I'm going to be a doctor, I'm going to be a doctor. I flunked all my classes. They kicked me out of med school. It was a terrible time. I thought it was a failure. And I said then, why? Why, lord, did you put this desire in my heart, you know, and slowly but surely, I went into health administration to try to keep that legacy alive.

Speaker 1: 8:59

You know, keep the dream going. I was going to find my way into becoming a doula at some point some way, somehow. So I went into health administration. The recession hit. I got no job we're going to still try to figure this out and I'm like, okay, let me figure out what I can do. Got into women's health and I thought, okay, women's health, I'm there in some way. Worked with children, worked with women, became a health coach because I lost my job. I got laid off, so I became a health coach, started my own business working with women. Still had the mindset there. And then I soon learned to hate that job and I'm like, but I'm the one who created it. Like, how can I hate what I created? Like, this isn't right. And so I went to God and God said where did I show up the most in your life? And it wasn't with babies, it wasn't with other women, it was in my love life.

Speaker 2: 9:48

Okay.

Speaker 1: 9:48

When, all that time in and out of relationships, giving my heart to the wrong people, not fully giving it to him, I finally did give it to him and I met you and that was the biggest transformation of my life. That was the biggest transformation of my life. And so God brought me to that testimony and said I want you to teach women that, through your testimony of finding love in me and then in Kyle, that they can do it and that it can be replicated and that they can trust in me for life and for love. And I will show that, that their desires can come to come true.

Speaker 2: 10:27

and so here I am so I talked about how god didn't just call us to get married, to have just kids and die.

Speaker 1: 10:36

Yeah, right to just so what is your?

Speaker 2: 10:38

I'm going to ask you this because it's we're in the ministry legacy what is your personal ministry legacy right now, like current, and then your vision for long-term?

Speaker 1: 10:50

My personal legacy.

Speaker 2: 10:51

Your personal ministry legacy.

Speaker 1: 10:53

My personal ministry legacy. I think, as we are coming to July, as I am in this season, if I've been praying and fasting, I really believe that it's more than just relationships.

Speaker 1: 11:07

It's more than just single women. It's more than just wives. I think I am being called into a ministry to empower women in their faith and to become bold in their faith, to truly stand on their faith as a wife, as a mother, as a single woman, as someone who bakes bread, as someone who is a homemaker, as someone who is working in the field, as someone who's an entrepreneur, trying to write books or trying to start a business, being bold and standing on that faith with boldness, unapologetically, not afraid of it, not afraid of cancel culture, not ashamed of who's with them or who's not with them, because they know that God is with them and they will not fail. That is what, I believe, my lasting legacy is for my daughter, for my friends, for my mother, for everyone who sees me. I want them to feel and reach the same potential of boldness in their faith and carry that torch wherever they go.

Speaker 2: 12:22

Amen, amen, I think-.

Speaker 1: 12:25

What is yours?

Speaker 2: 12:29

okay, I was going a different direction, but that's cool, I'll take it. Okay. My personal ministry legacy right now is to you're so good with your words, you're so poetic and how you talk, thank you is to just help men really embrace what god has called them to amen that's it.

Speaker 2: 12:45

It's not sugar-coated, it's not a whole bunch of words. It's help men figure out what God has called them to, how to be the best man that they can be and push them and pull them and help them. I don't have it all together, but by leaning on God and leaning on what his word says that a man needs to be and do to help other men to reach that is what I'm called for, what my ministry legacy will be. And then to help couples and help the man in the couple to be the best man he can be for that woman and for his family is what my lasting ministry legacy is right now, just personally.

Speaker 1: 13:29

How can we help couples figure out what their ministry legacy is? Hey everyone, we hope that you're enjoying this episode, and right now we want to just take a small minute to introduce to you the latest thing that we created to help you elevate your relationship and take it to the next level. It's called the Love by Faith Playbook.

Speaker 2: 13:51

Every good coach knows they have to have winning plays. We went through our foundation series and we pulled out some of the best winning plays and created strategies for you guys. Plays like how to be better financially, how to do ministry together, how to be better romantically, how to be better family life. We went through all these different areas from the foundation series and put it together in a playbook.

Speaker 1: 14:11

So grab your Love by Faith playbook today. You can use the link in the description below, enter it, and the good news about this is that it is a living document, so you download it one time and every single month we're going to be updating this document to give you fresh, new plays to help you and your partner Love by faith and create a winning season. Go ahead and get your love by faith playbook now, and let's get back into this episode.

Speaker 2: 14:42

I think we, how we can help couples find out what their lasting ministry legacy is, goes back to our playbook, because all those resources work together to help the couple be stronger, to help the couple understand themselves, to help the couple figure out where their weaknesses are, to build it up, to ask themselves what do I really want? What am I really working for?

Speaker 1: 15:07

I think we have like eight or nine resources in there at this point and it's just going to keep going. That's why we called it a playbook, because season one, season two, you know, season 10, it's just going to keep going. Yeah, and if you really are up to it, if you really downloaded it and you check it, you know every other month, every month, you are going to get something new out of it, every single time do you think we have 10 seasons worth of stuff to talk about?

Speaker 1: 15:31

Absolutely. You want to know why? Because we keep living for God and God's going to keep pouring into us and we have a burden and a desire to share what he's sharing into us into the rest of the world. Absolutely, amen. Life keeps going on. We're going to keep going through seasons. We're going to keep having high seasons and low seasons. Our kids are still small.

Speaker 2: 15:52

You beat me to it.

Speaker 1: 15:53

Our kids are still small, like we still haven't even hit the preteens, the teenage years, the adult years, the grandparent years, the senior years, the retirement years.

Speaker 1: 16:03

For people who could rock with us all the way into the retirement seasons, like I, I'm sure by then we're gonna be having like weekend, uh retreats that would be fun weekend retreats somewhere tropical because kyle likes tropical weather where we can just have like masterminds and we can have like intensives and weekend couple experiences like I would love to see that happen and come to play, and then you have your podcast live right there to have cool big like q and a's and that would be great, be sweet. So, yeah, I, I absolutely believe that that is definitely possible and doable. I mean, think about five years ago it was 2020 where the world turned upside down the world I knew you were gonna.

Speaker 2: 16:47

I knew you were Keep going, that was five years ago.

Speaker 1: 16:50

That was like a blink at this point.

Speaker 2: 16:53

It does.

Speaker 1: 16:54

It goes by so fast, you know, and so for us to say 10 years from now, will we still be doing this? I hope we would have more help to do it. I can't do it all by myself. I definitely know that there are more people out there who have more skills and more resources to do it. But yeah, why not? For?

Speaker 2: 17:12

more skills and more resources to do it.

Speaker 1: 17:13

But yeah, why not For real? What else are we going to do?

Speaker 2: 17:16

Yeah, no, we're going to keep helping couples. We're going to keep growing, we're going to keep getting better and learning about ourselves yeah Right and investing in ourselves to be better hosts, better ministers, better counselors.

Speaker 1: 17:31

Yes.

Speaker 2: 17:32

To be better for God, better Christians.

Speaker 1: 17:35

I love that in our premarital coaching course, in our premarital coaching program that we offer, that we make it a point to talk to the couples on what they think God is pulling them into. Like which ministry God is pulling them into?

Speaker 2: 17:52

like which ministry God is pulling them into because it's such?

Speaker 1: 17:54

an important part of what they're creating and to really flesh that conversation out before you get married and before you become one, so that they're both knowing going in and they know how to pray and they know how to pour into that specific area. I think is huge, and so we do that. We make it a point. We made it a point that when we were creating the premarital coaching course, that that was going to be one of the things that we included in that.

Speaker 2: 18:25

Yep, absolutely, because that whole, the big picture, is what I think is a huge foundation piece for us, that big picture of the whole Christian, the whole Christian, the whole giving back, but also building up yourself and also knowing your gifts, and also knowing your wife's gifts, and also knowing how those gifts mesh to take it to the public arena and to work together, and that it's not just, uh, I do this and she does that.

Speaker 1: 18:57

Yes.

Speaker 2: 18:58

Or that it's that we, we do this to accomplish something and it keeps us close, it keeps us united. It keeps us feeling the um, the fire. I think for us so much personally. Literally, you and me, selena, are we fell in love, planning and working together, building that outreach that we did I was thinking about that the other day and that and that it has. That working together has stuck with us, yes, and is such a bond that we have.

Speaker 1: 19:34

Yes.

Speaker 2: 19:34

And when we have to work together for something like I feel so connected and so confident in working together with you. Yes. It's not intimidating If we had to do one of those couples reality shows where we had to work together to figure something out easy.

Speaker 1: 19:50

I would feel very confident working through that with you I was thinking about that the other day because planning a wedding our, our wedding planning experience was literally effortless because we worked together on big projects before.

Speaker 1: 20:09

I was talking to a couple recently and they're planning their wedding and it's getting to the point where I told them you should treat it like a business meeting to get the business out of the way and basically had to break it down to them like you're planning an event, like, yeah, you're planning your wedding, wedding, but you're planning a major event right, you have to work with your partner to plan a major event. And the reason why it was so effortless for us was because we had been experienced in planning big events like yeah, we planned 5,000 people events we planned big events for our church.

Speaker 1: 20:50

It probably was like it was a really big event, like we gave away over 750 backpacks, you know. We did a week long of community service. We were doing prayer walks around our entire neighborhood for seven days, just like walking around jericho, so that the walls could come down and souls could be saved, like that is a big project that we worked on.

Speaker 1: 21:15

So, when it comes to planning a one day, you know, four hour event like a wedding, we were like, all right, we could do this. We got this in the bag because we've done it before and so, yeah, we, we really worked on that, on that muscle and that. That we're grateful.

Speaker 2: 21:31

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 21:35

We're grateful because we didn't know that doing that and being obedient to that, calling as two single people falling in love we didn't know that that was going to play into planning our wedding.

Speaker 2: 21:42

Right.

Speaker 1: 21:42

We didn't know that it was going to play into planning our marriage.

Speaker 2: 21:45

And to heaven those good we. We still have business meetings.

Speaker 1: 21:49

Absolutely. Every week, every, we still have business meetings Absolutely Every week every month With finances and meal planning.

Speaker 2: 21:54

Keeping the kids together.

Speaker 1: 21:55

That is another resource in the playbook. We have that in there for you guys to create this communication plan.

Speaker 2: 22:00

Right, so season two is coming to an end. Yes, we've done all these topics, so many topics. I wish I could memorize them like you do. I think it comes from you doing the editing and doing the production.

Speaker 1: 22:17

Yeah, memorize them like you do. I think it comes from you doing the editing and doing the production, yeah, but uh, I could pull it up. I'm gonna pull it up on my phone so you can see it from the buzz sprout, um, from the buzz sprout place.

Speaker 2: 22:22

I wish I could pull it up and so I could be like, oh, that was my favorite episode, that was my favorite series. But this legacy series has really been one that has helped me to think forward, and I like thinking forward like I like yeah, I like vision and casting, vision and vision planning and um setting up goals and setting up like it's helped me put into perspective like these are my health goals for the next three years. These are my.

Speaker 2: 22:47

This is my family goals for the next three years. This is my friendship goals for the next three years. This is my friendship goals for the next three years, yeah Right, and thinking about this legacy mindset of what do I really want to stand for and really want to look forward to has been a big win for this series, and maybe it's just recency effect.

Speaker 1: 23:11

This is my favorite series that we did well, I have I have all of our episodes, so I'm just gonna say the title of the series okay from season two now. We started season two in october okay okay, yeah, which is crazy, that we've been going from october to july consistently weekly. It's a very long season. So we started like episode 43. We're now at 80 something at this point yeah, our first um.

Speaker 2: 23:38

Our first series was for the guys okay, then we did for the girls and then we did for the ladies right, we did love and respect oh, that was this season.

Speaker 1: 23:47

That was this season. We did um the love Respect. And then we had the Christmas Break, and then we did Holy Spirit, which was really good, making sure people understood that we did Love Sex, flowers and Chocolate. Oh, February.

Speaker 2: 24:00

That was fun, that was a fun series, that was a fun series.

Speaker 1: 24:02

I feel like next season we got to do a little bit more fun stuff. We had the Serious Couple series where we talked about 101 questions to ask before getting engaged, preparing for marriage. We talked about those two books. We talked about the spring cleaning, which was just like all the random episodes yeah, the random yep, to clean out our content.

Speaker 1: 24:21

Um, yep, our content stuff. Yeah, say it like you mean it. Talking about communication, um, we talked about anxiety and then we talked about legacy, so there's a lot of stuff in there and, like we keep mentioning, um many of these series are accompanied with a resource and a tool that is in the playbook so make sure you guys go ahead and download that to just help you in those different areas.

Speaker 1: 24:48

But based on all that kyle, based on all the series that we just listed, there was a lot. We talked about a lot of stuff here I.

Speaker 2: 24:56

You know what my brain goes immediately to is like what's missing? What can we do next season? What?

Speaker 1: 25:01

can we?

Speaker 2: 25:02

add, or what can we revisit, or we could do like the next part of that yeah and so I can't wait for season three. I think we'll do some some. We'll do some new things. I have some new ideas already that the lord's really put on my heart yeah for our next planning meeting to to talk about. I'm excited, I'm grateful for that. Season two is over.

Speaker 1: 25:23

I'm looking forward to a few weeks off here do you want to know what the most watched and listened to season is, or episode is from season two?

Speaker 2: 25:31

wait. Um, it's going to be one of the anxiety episodes.

Speaker 1: 25:36

You think?

Speaker 2: 25:37

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 25:40

One that really or else the sex episode. You would think that, and I don't want that to happen. That happened to me on YouTube and it just it was terrible. The one that is the most that stands out.

Speaker 2: 25:54

Holy smokes. I'm looking at the graph that she has, and this one is like 30. It's an outlierlier. No, it's not 30, it's like 60. No, no, I'm saying it's like oh yeah so much six.

Speaker 1: 26:05

Yeah, so it is love and respect. How wives can respect their husbands even when they don't want to dang?

Speaker 1: 26:15

that's a heavy episode, that's a heavy, that's a heavy title our wives can respect their husbands even when they don't want to. That is the highest episode of season two. And so if we're going to go about like the gary v model, gary vanderchuk model, he would say you make 100 episodes just to do it, just to make it, just to say that you've done it with all the topics, and then once you make over a hundred episodes, then you pick the episodes that have the most views, the most engagement, and you pinpoint and you go deeper into those topics. And so I will not be surprised if in season three we talk more about these wives respecting their husbands, even when they don't want to, and we just take it and we just kind of pull it into different branches of that vine and and see how we can continue talking about that, because clearly people are interested in hearing about that and want to receive more counsel in that area. That's hard.

Speaker 1: 27:11

I mean, yeah, that's hard but I do want fun stuff. That's always fun and, and going back to like season one, people were really into hearing our story.

Speaker 2: 27:22

Sure.

Speaker 1: 27:23

You know, and so maybe a little bit of this, a little bit of that, a little bit of this, a little bit of that, a sprinkle of this, it'll be good. And, of course, as always, we are going to enter into a season of prayer and fasting.

Speaker 2: 27:36

Right.

Speaker 1: 27:37

To really hear what God wants to say and to really put on our hearts.

Speaker 2: 27:41

None of this is on our own, no absolutely not, and I mean we are.

Speaker 1: 27:44

you know, whether we want to admit it or not. We are in end times and so it is getting serious with our faith and with sharing the gospel and with what are we doing? How are we taking the time and not taking it for granted, and how are we not wasting time with what we have and where God has us? And how can we inspire couples to, you know, make the most of where God has them in their season? I mean, those are all really good things that we need to talk about. We haven't really sat and talked about them specifically in in that depth.

Speaker 2: 28:20

Let's go. We'll be there in season three, so how many weeks off do I get?

Speaker 1: 28:26

How many weeks off do I get? I mean, okay, so this is the end of July, we're taking August off and then we're transitioning into school. Back to school settings. So we'll be back mid-September, so we got like six weeks Probably mid-September, some of october, yeah, and you know, who knows, we might come back on there and do some commercial, maybe some mini soads.

Speaker 1: 28:50

We like to do mini soads during, you know, our kids spring break and our kids, uh, winter break yeah so there might be some mini sodes in there, some little bonuses, maybe just for guys or maybe just for girls, just to kind of help keep the the, the silence moving along a little bit I want you to forget about us now absolutely. I mean, how could you forget this guy over here? How could you do that with this face? Look at this guy, this guy.

Speaker 2: 29:16

You I want to return the compliment, but I feel like that's like I just got to take it.

Speaker 1: 29:20

I appreciate it. Selena, You're welcome. That's good. We're giving you your flowers, Kyle.

Speaker 2: 29:24

How could anyone forget about all your encouragement and keeping it real style?

Speaker 1: 29:28

Thank you, and keeping it real goes wrong sometimes.

Speaker 2: 29:33

It's all right, man.

Speaker 1: 29:34

I stand on what I say.

Speaker 2: 29:35

We get better. We learn from our mistakes.

Speaker 1: 29:36

I stand on what I say, and that's why we pray before and after every episode, because we want God to be the filter of our face and make sure that what we say is the right thing to say.

Speaker 2: 29:50

That's right, You've made it to the end of season two man.

Speaker 1: 29:54

We've made it to the end of season two.

Speaker 2: 29:56

We made it. Yes, thank you. I thank God for getting us through all this. I thank God for all the listeners. Amen. I pray that our words land on good soil. Yes, life into couples, and to spread hope and spread joy and to help increase others' faith by our testimony by our walking out our calling and I look forward to season three and beyond.

Speaker 1: 30:28

Amen. We are not worried about how many ears and how many eyes come to pass on this podcast. We know that over time, if God wills it, the right people will find us, the right people will listen and the right people will be inspired by us, and we are going to continue to just be obedient. And for those of you guys who have found us, we appreciate you, we thank you. We would not be here without you guys.

It's just crazy to think that us sitting on this couch, people are hearing and receiving.

Speaker 2: 32:50

In Jesus' name.

Speaker 1: 32:51

You know, I just like to think that maybe somebody was praying about it For His glory. I like to think that maybe somebody was praying about it For his glory. And they just found us somehow and it was exactly what they were praying for, that God used us to talk about that one topic. That was just like wow, okay, heard, got it. Got the message. I'm going to talk to my spouse about it, amen.

Speaker 2: 33:14

Amen, we've prayed, we've rapped, we did our call to actions. I think that's a wrap on season two. Is there any last word? No, I just said that's a wrap. I just said that's a wrap on season two.

Speaker 1: 33:28

I guess I just don't want it to end. I'm sorry I do, but I don't. I'm glad I need the rest. We're happy to be rested. We're happy to be rested. We're happy for a new season.

Speaker 2: 33:37

A word of wisdom that someone once said Okay, every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.

Speaker 1: 33:44

Was that a fortune cookie?

Speaker 2: 33:45

No, okay, it's a 90s song. What song is it? I don't remember the title off the top of my head. I just know the line. I'm not going to sing it because I can't sing. You don't know who sings it. I just know the line. I'm not going to sing it because, I can't sing. You don't know who sings it. It might be Green Day. No, I think it's like a one-hit wonder. Every new beginning begins with a Cut no, every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.

Speaker 1: 34:09

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end. Wow.

Speaker 2: 34:16

Yeah, it's a good one, it's a good quote.

Speaker 1: 34:18

That's great. Yeah, end, wow. Yeah, it's a good one.

Speaker 2: 34:20

It's a good quote, that's great.

Speaker 1: 34:21

Thank you, thank you, guys for listening, thank you for watching. I will pray us out.

Speaker 2: 34:25

I did that already.

Speaker 1: 34:25

When did you? I didn't even have my eyes closed. You didn't say amen.

Speaker 2: 34:29

I did too.

Speaker 1: 34:30

When.

Speaker 2: 34:31

Like four minutes ago, bro, you're going to do it. Watch when you edit Pray. Come on, bring it. Close this out.

Speaker 1: 34:38

Lord, we thank you. We're going to keep it short because apparently, Kyle has already reached your gates with his partitions and requests. Lord, we just thank you for giving us a season. We thank you for giving us the means to a podcast. We thank you for opening this door to communicate with your people. We thank you for allowing us to build on our ministry legacy and we hope that you continue to do it at your will, for your glory. We thank you for all the listeners and we just pray and lift up these listeners that they would love by faith, that they would create lasting legacy, that they would be serious in their intent to keep you at the center of their relationship and that they would thrive from that center. We give you the glory in Jesus's name, Amen.

Speaker 2: 35:24

Amen, eyes were closed for too long. Kyle's getting sleepy. The name of the song is closing time.

Speaker 1: 35:32

Closing time.

Speaker 2: 35:33

Yeah, and I believe the song is about like it's like poetically about giving birth.

Speaker 1: 35:40

What yeah Wow?

Speaker 2: 35:43

That's deep it's like a. It's not soft rock, but it's like an alt rock song.

Speaker 1: 35:48

Speaker 2: 35:48

Late nineties might be early. Two thousands Okay.

Speaker 1: 35:52

Speaker 1: 35:56

We will see you guys in a new season three. Enjoy this season, enjoy this rest. Catch up on all of the episodes. We'll keep in touch. Make sure you download that playbook.
