This is the final part of our recent discussion with our friends, Brandon and Amanda Gregory. We discuss the best ways they’ve found in managing a mixed-faith marriage and help they received along the way. 

Things are always difficult when managing this type of life-experience and if you’re there or have been, just know you’re not alone! Things can get dark, but they will get better. 

We also discuss more of the process of what they went through, managing callings and family differences. Some struggles that have been hard for both of our families and others that we know. 

Brandon makes a great point of living in the present, and being in the moment. It’s easy to get caught up in worry, or get anxious about the past, but we all have NOW. There’s beauty in imperfection. 

Communication is #1.

It’s not easy for anyone - for believers and those experiencing the faith-adjustment. We discuss some of the specific challenges we’ve all gone through regarding changes in faith.

We are really excited to release these next 2 episodes as we sat down with our friends, Brandon and Amanda Gregory, to discuss how they have managed a healthy relationship in a mixed-faith marriage after a change in faith in their home, like ours. We sincerely hope that this will help anyone who has a family member that may believe differently. We discuss how we all know each other, belief/experiences in the LDS Church, how Brandon’s faith transition began, and some fun/interesting details along the way.

Episode Corrections: 

Jess talks about brain development and addiction correlation.  She was shooting from the hip on her knowledge but here is more factual information. (Again this info is interpretation of a non professional so still may be a bit off lol) ;P

The prefrontal cortex is not fully developed until around the age of 25.  This part of the brain is responsible for rational thoughts. 

Myelin (not white matter) helps your neurons "talk" to each other at a greater speed but starts its wrapping in the back of the brain so takes a while to reach the front.

This week we had so much fun interviewing Clay & Steffany Winder.
Enjoy listening while we talk about how Steff tells us how ALL her "non-negotiables" slowly adjusted over time while she (a Republican) fell for Clay (a Democrat) and how we can all learn from having conversations with those who look at things differently than us. And how doing so could possibly lead to marriage ;)

Let's just say they had enough differences that they ended up creating a contract for marriage, before tying the knot. Might be some wisdom in there for the rest of us.

Listen to their story and learn how they make it all work.
