Facing challenges, you don’t know how to navigate? Wondering what to do next? What direction to take? We are Mary and Jerry Lenaburg and in our 35 years of marriage, we have been through a lot of challenges. Through our experiences and poor decisions, we have gained a lot of wisdom on what not to do. Join us each week for unscripted conversations on marriage, faith, brokenness, family life, parenting, and anything else you want us to talk about. We promise you will laugh and maybe even shed a tear or three. Our goal for this podcast is to provide encouragement and hope through our stories and chats with those who have impacted our lives. \r\n \r\nSend in your questions, comments, and topic suggestions to us at 571-354-0351. \r\n \r\nMary and Jerry Lenaburg have been married for 35 wild, unpredictable, and insanely wonderful years and are parents of two children. One in heaven and one earth side who recently upgraded them to grandparents 2.0. They have been through nearly every challenge a married couple can face - military life, addictions, burying a child, burying their parents, financial and job challenges, and housebreaking a puppy, twice. Along the way, they have learned many important lessons about faith, family, and how to build a lasting marriage. They have appeared together on EWTN and regularly speak to engaged and married couples all over the United States. \r\n \r\nConnect with us and our podcast on Instagram at @themaryandjerrypodcast","_fireside":{"subtitle":"Real Conversations about life, faith & everything in between","pubdate":"2024-04-21T01:00:00.000-04:00","explicit":false,"copyright":"2024 by Mary and Jerry Lenaburg","owner":"Mary & Jerry Lenaburg","image":"https://assets.fireside.fm/file/fireside-images/podcasts/images/5/5c8628bb-83e9-4c47-928b-a79990e4a933/cover.jpg?v=2"},"items":[{"id":"dff63f29-7a83-4e72-8e89-a9cfd8cc9a70","title":"Entertaining with Intention | S2E8","url":"https://maryandjerry.fireside.fm/29","content_text":"To entertain with a purpose is an extension of God’s love for us that we get to share with other people.
