When Gavin and I met, he knew of God but didn't have a relationship with Him. Early on in our relationship, I told him that if we stayed together, we'd have to find a church together.
And that became something I felt deep down in my spirit.
Get to church.
I found one and knew it was our community before I got out of the car.
In January 2023, Gavin was so moved by our pastor that he left church and went straight to the baptismal fountain.
When he was diagnosed with cancer 10 months later, his faith ignited like never before—burning bright, steady, and unshakable.
But as his caregiver, watching him suffer and carrying the weight of our uncertain future, my faith felt more fragile than ever. As someone who grew up in church, God was always in my life. But as the spouse of a cancer patient, I couldn't see Him very well.
In this episode of the I Saved You. Now Do the Dishes Podcast, I explore the complicated, often unspoken truth about faith in crisis. What happens when one partner feels closer to God while the other struggles with doubt?
How do you navigate love, fear, and the messy middle ground of belief when life demands so much of you?
