This week’s episode is a special one for us. We just walked through one of the most meaningful weeks of our lives as we celebrated our son Luke’s wedding, and we are incredibly grateful for all of the prayers, encouragement, and kind messages so many of you have sent our family.
During the wedding weekend, someone asked us about a part of the ceremony where Rusty talked about the difference between a contract and a covenant in marriage. A contract says, “if then…” while a covenant says, “even if.” That simple distinction led to a much deeper conversation about commitment, restoration, and the generational impact of fighting for your marriage.
In this Summer Shorts episode, we reflect on some of the emotions we experienced during the wedding ceremony, remembering where our marriage once was and realizing how different our family story could have been if we had walked away years ago. We also share about the letters Luke and Kamryn gave us before the wedding and why those moments reminded us that healing in marriage doesn’t just affect two people. It impacts generations.
If your marriage feels difficult right now, we hope this episode reminds you that staying faithful to your covenant can create a legacy you may not even be able to see yet.
