Why Not? Dreaming Big and Thinking Creatively as a Couple
About this episode
What if, instead of asking “Why?”, you started asking “Why not?” In this episode, Brad and Marilyn share the bold, life-changing story of how they paused life for six months to travel the country as a family — right as they launched Grace Marriage. From hilarious misadventures to life-altering lessons, they unpack how pursuing big, visionary goals (even when they seem crazy) can deepen your marriage and family bonds. Plus, they offer biblical wisdom for dreaming bigger together, pushing past fear, and trusting God with the impossible.
