    <description>Made a few mistakes in life? 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. 
Send in your questions, comments, and topic suggestions to us at 571-354-0351. 
Mary 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.

In memory of our beloved daughter Courtney, who passed away on December 27, 2014, Jerry and I invite your prayer requests for Courtney's stocking during Advent. Christmas held special significance for Courtney, and since her passing, we have filled her stocking with global prayer requests. Jerry and I dedicate our nightly rosaries, Sunday Mass intentions, and weekly Adoration to these intentions from the First Sunday in Advent through the Feast of the Epiphany. We extend an invitation for you to share your prayer requests, emphasizing the season of miracles and the hope that the Prince of Peace may answer heartfelt desires. Blessed Advent to all,
St Courtney, pray for us.

  <description>In this UNSCRIPTED episode, Mary &amp;amp; Jerry show us where their brains go and, of course, it’s a lot of fun. They discuss their pastor asking them to be a mentor couple, how unequipped they felt, and the beautiful fruit that came from being raw &amp;amp; personal with their story. As they share and laugh together, they come up with at least 4 new podcast ideas. We can’t wait for those episodes to come out. Sit back, listen, and laugh with us.

  <description>Made a few mistakes in life? 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. 
Send in your questions, comments, and topic suggestions to us at 571-354-0351. 
Mary 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.
