From Bankruptcy to Breakthrough: What 2008 Taught Our Marriage About Faith, Failure, and Starting Over

In this powerful episode of Andy and Jenn Talk About Stuff, we peel back the curtain on one of the hardest seasons of our 22-year marriage—the 2008 financial crash. As young parents navigating the chaos of a crumbling mortgage industry, bankruptcy, foreclosure, and repossession, we open up about the raw truth of what it looked like to lose nearly everything… and still find purpose.

We don’t just talk about what went wrong—we unpack how faith, community, and some truly humbling moments changed how we see money, marriage, and what it really means to trust God in the dark. From fighting shame to learning how to receive help, to rebuilding a life that would eventually launch new ministries and music, this is our story of collapse—and unexpected calling.

If you’re a young adult looking for transparent, hard-earned wisdom about relationships, finances, and faith, this episode is for you.
