In their final season two episode, Kyle and Selina explore what it means to create a lasting ministry legacy as a married couple.
God calls us to more than just companionship in marriage—He invites us to build something meaningful together that impacts His kingdom.
• The maximum reach in marriage is leaving a lasting ministry legacy that wouldn't be successful without both spouses
• Finding your ministry calling requires identifying where God has shown up most powerfully in your lives
• Our personal testimony of transformation through Christ becomes a foundation for ministry
• Working together on meaningful projects creates a unique bond that strengthens marriage
• Married couples have unique gifts that, when combined, create ministry opportunities neither could accomplish alone
• Intentionally discussing ministry calling before marriage helps couples align their vision
• Ministry legacy evolves through different seasons of marriage and family life
THANK YOU for being a part of this season 2 journey! We'll be taking a break for a couple of months to rest, refresh, and prepare for an all-new season this fall! See you then!

ministry legacy is?
We hate to break it to you, butthis is the last episode of the
season.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Every new beginning comes from some other
beginning's end.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
We're not perfect people by any means but by
trusting in God we learned whatit takes to build a friendship a
relationship and marriage thathas stood the test of time.

With a keeping it real style.
We're going to talk to youabout everything everything that
we've been through are goingthrough and have overcome all by

learn how to love by faith.
Man Selena yeah, it's here.
(01:09):
It's here, it's here.
We made it.
It takes a lot like this is whyI waited so long to say yes to
doing this, the podcast.
Yeah, saying yes to doing thepodcast yeah.
Yeah, because I knew that once Isaid yes, it was going to be
this much work.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Yes, it's a lot of work.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I'm saying all this because we're at the last
episode of the season.
Yes, and it feels like it'sbeen a long season.
It's taken a long time to gethere and I'm grateful for what
the Lord has done through it andall the great talks we've had.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
As we go on, we remember.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
With that being said, do you want me to talk about
what's your favorite memory fromseason two?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Kyle.
I feel like at this point inthe game we can talk about
whatever we want, Because thepeople who made it this far
thank you, PS.
Welcome to Love by Faith.
We love you, we're here.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Kyle Selena.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
If you're here for the first time ever, welcome.
We hate to break it to you, butthis is the last episode of the
season.
Good news is you have aplethora 80-something episodes
that you can go back and listento while we take our very short
break before we head into a newseason.
But we're glad you're here.
For those of you guys who arelistening, I think you think
(02:35):
it's okay for us to say whateverwe want to say at this point.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I think you think.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yes, I think they'll be okay because they know us and
they get it, and it's like hey,hey, we made it.
We're not perfect people, we'rejust by any means two, two
people out here putting out apodcast we're just doing what
the lord has called us the lordtells us what to say.
So, kyle, whatever you got tosay, we're going to trust that
holy spirit is moving in adirection that he wants to do it
(03:02):
this is not our podcast.
This is the holy spirit'spodcast amen and we're just here
to say whatever we got to say,to get that out there.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
So what series are we in?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
We are in the Legacy series, guys, and all month long
we have tried to help you guysunderstand why it's important to
look ahead and why it'simportant to plan ahead to leave
a lasting legacy.
We talked about as we tried tomake it as broad as possible.
(03:30):
We talked about family, wetalked about friendships, we
talked about your health, wetalked about finances and we're
going to wrap this up in apretty little, as Kyle loves to
say all the time.
That's right, and we're going totalk about leaving a lasting
legacy with ministry, withministry.
(03:51):
I don't know about you, kyle,but I know that any person who
is a believer, who is a trueChristian, a follower of Christ,
they are being called into aministry, some sort of place and
setting where their God-givengifts are meant to be used for
(04:13):
the glorifying of him and himalone, and to also create
disciples and to bring people tocome to know him by sharing the
gospel.
And so I believe everybody'scalled to a ministry.
However, once you get married,when two become one, god creates
a new calling for that specificcreation, and that specific
(04:37):
creation must go into a ministry.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I'm smirking because we're on the same page here.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Really.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Okay, what were you gonna say?
Coming into planning thisepisode and to doing my homework
on this episode?
Yes, my, my main point was thatgod didn't just call you to get
married, to just have a friendforever, and die.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
It's not just about you the bare minimum.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Minimum is have some children teach them about him
and then die, right.
But the maximum, the reach, isto leave a lasting ministry that
you and your wife do together,you and your spouse do together.
That would never be successfulwithout the other person.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Right, yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
A ministry that would never reach its height without
your partner's faith pushing it.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Without your partner's talents, pushing it
together.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Yes, I mean some couples do homeless ministry,
Some couples do financialministry, some couples do
parenting ministry.
Yes, right.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Our ministry legacy is love by faith.
Yes, it is teaching couples tolove each other really well.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
It's to teach couples that it doesn't take perfect
people yes, To love each otherreally well, to leave a lasting
legacy of love, to be thegrandparents that loved each
other till death.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Do them part that loved each other, that inspired
them to find that love, to givethem the hope that that love is
out there.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yes, To live that God-centered marriage.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
That's our ministry legacy.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Big.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Hero 6.
Got it, follow that one, and soso selena yes, kyle I know
growing up you had an idea ofwhat your ministry life term,
lifelong legacy was gonna be.
What you told me?
The story that you had thisdream of having a coffee shop oh
(06:41):
, yes right yes.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Right, yes.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Was this your ministry dream?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
I don't know if it was.
No, it wasn't my ministry dream, it was just I wanted a very
quaint cottage looking coffeehouse.
I thought it was a nice vibeand I wanted to maintain that
vibe throughout my life.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
My original ministry that I thought, which, I guess,
kind of butterfly affected itsway to this couch, if you will.
Okay, my ministry, I think whenI was about 13, 14, 15 years
old, is when I felt this in myheart and spirit I wanted to
become a doctor.
(07:20):
Okay, but not just any doctor,I wanted to become an ob-gyn
okay and then it it slowlyshifted from ob-gyn to just a
doula.
I wanted to.
I I dreamed of becoming thisdoula because I wanted to
deliver baby.
How did I know what ob-gyn was?
(07:41):
Because I watched the cosbyshow and dr huxtable was ob
OBGYN.
He delivered babies.
So I was like I want to deliverbabies, I want to be an OBGYN
because that's what Dr Huxtablebecame.
That.
And then I learned like, oh, adoula is a little bit personal,
it's a little bit easier.
So I wanted to do that.
It's more supportive, it's morein tune.
And I wanted to be a doulabecause I wanted to hold these
(08:05):
babies and I wanted to be one ofthe first people to pray into
these babies as they came intothe world and I wanted to
declare God in them through thepassing of my hands into their
family.
That was my legacy, that waswhat I wanted to do.
(08:27):
So my whole high school careerI'm going to be a doctor, I'm
going to be a doctor, I'm goingto be a doctor.
I went to college pre-med.
I'm going to be a doctor, I'mgoing to be a doctor.
I flunked all my classes.
They kicked me out of medschool.
It was a terrible time.
I thought it was a failure.
And I said then, why?
Why, lord, did you put thisdesire in my heart, you know,
(08:53):
and slowly but surely, I wentinto health administration to
try to keep that legacy alive.
You know, keep the dream going.
I was going to find my way intobecoming a doula at some point
some way, somehow.
So I went into healthadministration.
The recession hit.
I got no job we're going tostill try to figure this out and
I'm like, okay, let me figureout what I can do.
Got into women's health and Ithought, okay, women's health,
(09:14):
I'm there in some way.
Worked with children, workedwith women, became a health
coach because I lost my job.
I got laid off, so I became ahealth coach, started my own
business working with women.
Still had the mindset there.
And then I soon learned to hatethat job and I'm like, but I'm
the one who created it.
(09:35):
Like, how can I hate what Icreated?
Like, this isn't right.
And so I went to God and Godsaid where did I show up the
most in your life?
And it wasn't with babies, itwasn't with other women, it was
in my love life.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
When, all that time in and out of relationships,
giving my heart to the wrongpeople, not fully giving it to
him, I finally did give it tohim and I met you and that was
the biggest transformation of mylife.
That was the biggesttransformation of my life.
And so God brought me to thattestimony and said I want you to
teach women that, through yourtestimony of finding love in me
(10:13):
and then in Kyle, that they cando it and that it can be
replicated and that they cantrust in me for life and for
love.
And I will show that, thattheir desires can come to come
true.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
and so here I am so I talked about how god didn't
just call us to get married, tohave just kids and die.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah, right to just so what is your?
Speaker 2 (10:38):
I'm going to ask you this because it's we're in the
ministry legacy what is yourpersonal ministry legacy right
now, like current, and then yourvision for long-term?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
My personal legacy.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Your personal ministry legacy.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
My personal ministry legacy.
I think, as we are coming toJuly, as I am in this season, if
I've been praying and fasting,I really believe that it's more
than just relationships.
It's more than just single women.
It's more than just wives.
I think I am being called intoa ministry to empower women in
(11:17):
their faith and to become boldin their faith, to truly stand
on their faith as a wife, as amother, as a single woman, as
someone who bakes bread, assomeone who is a homemaker, as
someone who is working in thefield, as someone who's an
(11:40):
entrepreneur, trying to writebooks or trying to start a
business, being bold andstanding on that faith with
boldness, unapologetically, notafraid of it, not afraid of
cancel culture, not ashamed ofwho's with them or who's not
with them, because they knowthat God is with them and they
will not fail.
That is what, I believe, mylasting legacy is for my
(12:05):
daughter, for my friends, for mymother, for everyone who sees
me.
I want them to feel and reachthe same potential of boldness
in their faith and carry thattorch wherever they go.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Amen, amen, I think-.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
What is yours?
Speaker 2 (12:29):
okay, I was going a different direction, but that's
cool, I'll take it.
Okay.
My personal ministry legacyright now is to you're so good
with your words, you're sopoetic and how you talk, thank
you is to just help men reallyembrace what god has called them
to amen that's it.
It's not sugar-coated, it's nota whole bunch of words.
It's help men figure out whatGod has called them to, how to
(12:53):
be the best man that they can beand push them and pull them and
help them.
I don't have it all together,but by leaning on God and
leaning on what his word saysthat a man needs to be and do to
help other men to reach that iswhat I'm called for, what my
(13:14):
ministry legacy will be.
And then to help couples andhelp the man in the couple to be
the best man he can be for thatwoman and for his family is
what my lasting ministry legacyis right now, just personally.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
How can we help couples figure out what their
ministry legacy is?
Hey everyone, we hope thatyou're enjoying this episode,
and right now we want to justtake a small minute to introduce
to you the latest thing that wecreated to help you elevate
your relationship and take it tothe next level.
It's called the Love by FaithPlaybook.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Every good coach knows they have to have winning
plays.
We went through our foundationseries and we pulled out some of
the best winning plays andcreated strategies for you guys.
Plays like how to be betterfinancially, how to do ministry
together, how to be betterromantically, how to be better
family life.
We went through all thesedifferent areas from the
foundation series and put ittogether in a playbook.
Speaker 1 (14:11):

the good news about this isthat it is a living document, so

(14:33):
season.
Go ahead and get your love byfaith playbook now, and let's
get back into this episode.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I think we, how we can help couples find out what
their lasting ministry legacy is, goes back to our playbook,
because all those resources worktogether to help the couple be
stronger, to help the coupleunderstand themselves, to help
the couple figure out wheretheir weaknesses are, to build
it up, to ask themselves what doI really want?
(15:05):
What am I really working for?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I think we have like eight or nine resources in there
at this point and it's justgoing to keep going.
That's why we called it aplaybook, because season one,
season two, you know, season 10,it's just going to keep going.
Yeah, and if you really are upto it, if you really downloaded
it and you check it, you knowevery other month, every month,
you are going to get somethingnew out of it, every single time
(15:29):
do you think we have 10 seasonsworth of stuff to talk about?
Absolutely.
You want to know why?
Because we keep living for Godand God's going to keep pouring
into us and we have a burden anda desire to share what he's
sharing into us into the rest ofthe world.
Absolutely, amen.
Life keeps going on.
We're going to keep goingthrough seasons.
We're going to keep having highseasons and low seasons.
Our kids are still small.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
You beat me to it.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Our kids are still small, like we still haven't
even hit the preteens, theteenage years, the adult years,
the grandparent years, thesenior years, the retirement
years.
For people who could rock withus all the way into the
retirement seasons, like I, I'msure by then we're gonna be
having like weekend, uh retreatsthat would be fun weekend
(16:15):
retreats somewhere tropicalbecause kyle likes tropical
weather where we can just havelike masterminds and we can have
like intensives and weekendcouple experiences like I would
love to see that happen and cometo play, and then you have your
podcast live right there tohave cool big like q and a's and
that would be great, be sweet.
(16:35):
So, yeah, I, I absolutelybelieve that that is definitely
possible and doable.
I mean, think about five yearsago it was 2020 where the world
turned upside down the world Iknew you were gonna.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
I knew you were Keep going, that was five years ago.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
That was like a blink at this point.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
It does.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
It goes by so fast, you know, and so for us to say
10 years from now, will we stillbe doing this?
I hope we would have more helpto do it.
I can't do it all by myself.
I definitely know that thereare more people out there who
have more skills and moreresources to do it.
But yeah, why not?
For?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
more skills and more resources to do it.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
But yeah, why not For real?
What else are we going to do?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Yeah, no, we're going to keep helping couples.
We're going to keep growing,we're going to keep getting
better and learning aboutourselves yeah Right and
investing in ourselves to bebetter hosts, better ministers,
better counselors.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
To be better for God, better Christians.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I love that in our premarital coaching course, in
our premarital coaching programthat we offer, that we make it a
point to talk to the couples onwhat they think God is pulling
them into.
Like which ministry God ispulling them into?
Speaker 2 (17:52):
like which ministry God is pulling them into because
it's such?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
an important part of what they're creating and to
really flesh that conversationout before you get married and
before you become one, so thatthey're both knowing going in
and they know how to pray andthey know how to pour into that
specific area.
I think is huge, and so we dothat.
(18:17):
We make it a point.
We made it a point that when wewere creating the premarital
coaching course, that that wasgoing to be one of the things
that we included in that.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Yep, absolutely, because that whole, the big
picture, is what I think is ahuge foundation piece for us,
that big picture of the wholeChristian, the whole Christian,
the whole giving back, but alsobuilding up yourself and also
knowing your gifts, and alsoknowing your wife's gifts, and
(18:46):
also knowing how those giftsmesh to take it to the public
arena and to work together, andthat it's not just, uh, I do
this and she does that.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Or that it's that we, we do this to accomplish
something and it keeps us close,it keeps us united.
It keeps us feeling the um, thefire.
I think for us so muchpersonally.
Literally, you and me, selena,are we fell in love, planning
and working together, buildingthat outreach that we did I was
(19:23):
thinking about that the otherday and that and that it has.
That working together has stuckwith us, yes, and is such a
bond that we have.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
And when we have to work together for something like
I feel so connected and soconfident in working together
with you.
Yes.
It's not intimidating If we hadto do one of those couples
reality shows where we had towork together to figure
something out easy.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
I would feel very confident working through that
with you I was thinking aboutthat the other day because
planning a wedding our, ourwedding planning experience was
literally effortless because weworked together on big projects
before.
I was talking to a couplerecently and they're planning
(20:14):
their wedding and it's gettingto the point where I told them
you should treat it like abusiness meeting to get the
business out of the way andbasically had to break it down
to them like you're planning anevent, like, yeah, you're
planning your wedding, wedding,but you're planning a major
event right, you have to workwith your partner to plan a
(20:36):
major event.
And the reason why it was soeffortless for us was because we
had been experienced inplanning big events like yeah,
we planned 5,000 people eventswe planned big events for our
church.
It probably was like it was areally big event, like we gave
away over 750 backpacks, youknow.
(20:57):
We did a week long of communityservice.
We were doing prayer walksaround our entire neighborhood
for seven days, just likewalking around jericho, so that
the walls could come down andsouls could be saved, like that
is a big project that we workedon.
So, when it comes to planning aone day, you know, four hour
(21:18):
event like a wedding, we werelike, all right, we could do
this.
We got this in the bag becausewe've done it before and so,
yeah, we, we really worked onthat, on that muscle and that.
That we're grateful.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
We're grateful because we didn't know that
doing that and being obedient tothat, calling as two single
people falling in love we didn'tknow that that was going to
play into planning our wedding.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Right.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
We didn't know that it was going to play into
planning our marriage.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
And to heaven those good we.
We still have business meetings.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Absolutely.
Every week, every, we stillhave business meetings
Absolutely Every week everymonth With finances and meal
planning.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Keeping the kids together.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
That is another resource in the playbook.
We have that in there for youguys to create this
communication plan.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Right, so season two is coming to an end.
Yes, we've done all thesetopics, so many topics.
I wish I could memorize themlike you do.
I think it comes from you doingthe editing and doing the
production.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Yeah, memorize them like you do.
I think it comes from you doingthe editing and doing the
production, yeah, but uh, Icould pull it up.
I'm gonna pull it up on myphone so you can see it from the
buzz sprout, um, from the buzzsprout place.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
I wish I could pull it up and so I could be like, oh
, that was my favorite episode,that was my favorite series.
But this legacy series hasreally been one that has helped
me to think forward, and I likethinking forward like I like
yeah, I like vision and casting,vision and vision planning and
um setting up goals and settingup like it's helped me put into
(22:43):
perspective like these are myhealth goals for the next three
years.
These are my.
This is my family goals for thenext three years.
This is my friendship goals forthe next three years.
This is my friendship goals forthe next three years, yeah
Right, and thinking about thislegacy mindset of what do I
really want to stand for andreally want to look forward to
(23:05):
has been a big win for thisseries, and maybe it's just
recency effect.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
This is my favorite series that we did well, I have
I have all of our episodes, soI'm just gonna say the title of
the series okay from season twonow.
We started season two inoctober okay okay, yeah, which
is crazy, that we've been goingfrom october to july
consistently weekly.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
I feel like next season we got to do a little bit
more fun stuff.
We had the Serious Coupleseries where we talked about 101
questions to ask before gettingengaged, preparing for marriage
.
We talked about those two books.
We talked about the springcleaning, which was just like
all the random episodes yeah,the random yep, to clean out our
content.
Um, yep, our content stuff.
(24:23):
Yeah, say it like you mean it.
Talking about communication, um, we talked about anxiety and
then we talked about legacy, sothere's a lot of stuff in there
and, like we keep mentioning, ummany of these series are
accompanied with a resource anda tool that is in the playbook
(24:44):
so make sure you guys go aheadand download that to just help
you in those different areas.
But based on all that kyle,based on all the series that we
just listed, there was a lot.
We talked about a lot of stuffhere I.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
You know what my brain goes immediately to is
like what's missing?
What can we do next season?
What?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
can we?
Speaker 2 (25:02):
add, or what can we revisit, or we could do like the
next part of that yeah and so Ican't wait for season three.
I think we'll do some some.
We'll do some new things.
I have some new ideas alreadythat the lord's really put on my
heart yeah for our nextplanning meeting to to talk
about.
I'm excited, I'm grateful forthat.
Season two is over.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
I'm looking forward to a few weeks off here do you
want to know what the mostwatched and listened to season
is, or episode is from seasontwo?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
wait.
Um, it's going to be one of theanxiety episodes.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
You think?
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
One that really or else the sex episode.
You would think that, and Idon't want that to happen.
That happened to me on YouTubeand it just it was terrible.
The one that is the most thatstands out.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Holy smokes.
I'm looking at the graph thatshe has, and this one is like 30
.
It's an outlierlier.
No, it's not 30, it's like 60.
No, no, I'm saying it's like ohyeah so much six.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Yeah, so it is love and respect.
How wives can respect theirhusbands even when they don't
want to dang?
that's a heavy episode, that's aheavy, that's a heavy title our
wives can respect theirhusbands even when they don't
want to.
That is the highest episode ofseason two.
And so if we're going to goabout like the gary v model,
(26:28):
gary vanderchuk model, he wouldsay you make 100 episodes just
to do it, just to make it, justto say that you've done it with
all the topics, and then onceyou make over a hundred episodes
, then you pick the episodesthat have the most views, the
most engagement, and youpinpoint and you go deeper into
those topics.
And so I will not be surprisedif in season three we talk more
(26:50):
about these wives respectingtheir husbands, even when they
don't want to, and we just takeit and we just kind of pull it
into different branches of thatvine and and see how we can
continue talking about that,because clearly people are
interested in hearing about thatand want to receive more
counsel in that area.
That's hard.
(27:11):
I mean, yeah, that's hard but Ido want fun stuff.
That's always fun and, andgoing back to like season one,
people were really into hearingour story.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
You know, and so maybe a little bit of this, a
little bit of that, a little bitof this, a little bit of that,
a sprinkle of this, it'll begood.
And, of course, as always, weare going to enter into a season
of prayer and fasting.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Right.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
To really hear what God wants to say and to really
put on our hearts.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
None of this is on our own, no absolutely not, and
I mean we are.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
you know, whether we want to admit it or not.
We are in end times and so itis getting serious with our
faith and with sharing thegospel and with what are we
doing?
How are we taking the time andnot taking it for granted, and
how are we not wasting time withwhat we have and where God has
us?
(28:04):
And how can we inspire couplesto, you know, make the most of
where God has them in theirseason?
I mean, those are all reallygood things that we need to talk
about.
We haven't really sat andtalked about them specifically
in in that depth.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Let's go.
We'll be there in season three,so how many weeks off do I get?
Speaker 1 (28:26):
How many weeks off do I get?
I mean, okay, so this is theend of July, we're taking August
off and then we'retransitioning into school.
Back to school settings.
So we'll be back mid-September,so we got like six weeks
(28:47):
Probably mid-September, some ofoctober, yeah, and you know, who
knows, we might come back onthere and do some commercial,
maybe some mini soads.
We like to do mini soads during,you know, our kids spring break
and our kids, uh, winter breakyeah so there might be some mini
sodes in there, some littlebonuses, maybe just for guys or
maybe just for girls, just tokind of help keep the the, the
silence moving along a littlebit I want you to forget about
us now absolutely.
(29:08):
I mean, how could you forgetthis guy over here?
How could you do that with thisface?
Look at this guy, this guy.

encouragement and keeping itreal style?
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Thank you, and keeping it real goes wrong
sometimes.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
It's all right, man.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
I stand on what I say .
Speaker 2 (29:35):
We get better.
We learn from our mistakes.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
I stand on what I say , and that's why we pray before
and after every episode, becausewe want God to be the filter of
our face and make sure thatwhat we say is the right thing
to say.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
That's right, You've made it to the end of season two

were praying for, that God usedus to talk about that one topic.

Is there any last word?
No, I just said that's a wrap.
I just said that's a wrap onseason two.

I'm sorry I do, but I don't.
I'm glad I need the rest.
We're happy to be rested.
We're happy to be rested.
We're happy for a new season.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
A word of wisdom that someone once said Okay, every
new beginning comes from someother beginning's end.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Was that a fortune cookie?
Speaker 2 (33:45):
No, okay, it's a 90s song.
What song is it?
I don't remember the title offthe top of my head.
I just know the line.
I'm not going to sing itbecause I can't sing.
You don't know who sings it.
I just know the line.
I'm not going to sing itbecause, I can't sing.
You don't know who sings it.
It might be Green Day.
No, I think it's like a one-hitwonder.
Every new beginning begins witha Cut no, every new beginning
(34:07):
comes from some otherbeginning's end.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Every new beginning comes from some other
beginning's end.
Wow.

Yeah, it's a good one , it's a good quote.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
That's great.
Yeah, end, wow.
Yeah, it's a good one.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
It's a good quote, that's great.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Thank you, thank you, guys for listening, thank you

I will pray us out.
Speaker 2 (34:25):

The name of the song is closingtime.
Speaker 1 (35:32):

poetically about giving birth.
Speaker 1 (35:40):

Speaker 2 (35:43):
That's deep it's like a.
It's not soft rock, but it'slike an alt rock song.

Speaker 1 (38:21):
You know, you know.
leaving a lasting legacy with ministry.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
The maximum, the reach, is to leave a lasting
ministry that you and yourspouse do together.
That would never be successfulwithout the other person.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
How can we help couples figure out what their
ministry legacy is?
We hate to break it to you, butthis is the last episode of the
season.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Every new beginning comes from some other
beginning's end.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
We're not perfect people by any means but by
trusting in God we learned whatit takes to build a friendship a
relationship and marriage thathas stood the test of time.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
With a keeping it real style.
We're going to talk to youabout everything everything that
we've been through are goingthrough and have overcome all by
learning how to lean on God andeach other in order to help you
learn how to love by faith.
Man Selena yeah, it's here.
(01:09):
It's here, it's here.
We made it.
It takes a lot like this is whyI waited so long to say yes to
doing this, the podcast.
Yeah, saying yes to doing thepodcast yeah.
Yeah, because I knew that once Isaid yes, it was going to be
this much work.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Yes, it's a lot of work.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I'm saying all this because we're at the last
episode of the season.
Yes, and it feels like it'sbeen a long season.
It's taken a long time to gethere and I'm grateful for what
the Lord has done through it andall the great talks we've had.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
As we go on, we remember.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
With that being said, do you want me to talk about
what's your favorite memory fromseason two?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Kyle.
I feel like at this point inthe game we can talk about
whatever we want, Because thepeople who made it this far
thank you, PS.
Welcome to Love by Faith.
We love you, we're here.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Kyle Selena.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
If you're here for the first time ever, welcome.
We hate to break it to you, butthis is the last episode of the
season.
Good news is you have aplethora 80-something episodes
that you can go back and listento while we take our very short
break before we head into a newseason.
But we're glad you're here.
For those of you guys who arelistening, I think you think
(02:35):
it's okay for us to say whateverwe want to say at this point.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I think you think.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yes, I think they'll be okay because they know us and
they get it, and it's like hey,hey, we made it.
We're not perfect people, we'rejust by any means two, two
people out here putting out apodcast we're just doing what
the lord has called us the lordtells us what to say.
So, kyle, whatever you got tosay, we're going to trust that
holy spirit is moving in adirection that he wants to do it
(03:02):
this is not our podcast.
This is the holy spirit'spodcast amen and we're just here
to say whatever we got to say,to get that out there.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
So what series are we in?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
We are in the Legacy series, guys, and all month long
we have tried to help you guysunderstand why it's important to
look ahead and why it'simportant to plan ahead to leave
a lasting legacy.
We talked about as we tried tomake it as broad as possible.
(03:30):
We talked about family, wetalked about friendships, we
talked about your health, wetalked about finances and we're
going to wrap this up in apretty little, as Kyle loves to
say all the time.
That's right, and we're going totalk about leaving a lasting
legacy with ministry, withministry.
(03:51):
I don't know about you, kyle,but I know that any person who
is a believer, who is a trueChristian, a follower of Christ,
they are being called into aministry, some sort of place and
setting where their God-givengifts are meant to be used for
(04:13):
the glorifying of him and himalone, and to also create
disciples and to bring people tocome to know him by sharing the
gospel.
And so I believe everybody'scalled to a ministry.
However, once you get married,when two become one, god creates
a new calling for that specificcreation, and that specific
(04:37):
creation must go into a ministry.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I'm smirking because we're on the same page here.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Really.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Okay, what were you gonna say?
Coming into planning thisepisode and to doing my homework
on this episode?
Yes, my, my main point was thatgod didn't just call you to get
married, to just have a friendforever, and die.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
It's not just about you the bare minimum.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Minimum is have some children teach them about him
and then die, right.
But the maximum, the reach, isto leave a lasting ministry that
you and your wife do together,you and your spouse do together.
That would never be successfulwithout the other person.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Right, yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
A ministry that would never reach its height without
your partner's faith pushing it.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Without your partner's talents, pushing it
together.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Yes, I mean some couples do homeless ministry,
Some couples do financialministry, some couples do
parenting ministry.
Yes, right.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Our ministry legacy is love by faith.
Yes, it is teaching couples tolove each other really well.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
It's to teach couples that it doesn't take perfect
people yes, To love each otherreally well, to leave a lasting
legacy of love, to be thegrandparents that loved each
other till death.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Do them part that loved each other, that inspired
them to find that love, to givethem the hope that that love is
out there.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yes, To live that God-centered marriage.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
That's our ministry legacy.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Big.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Hero 6.
Got it, follow that one, and soso selena yes, kyle I know
growing up you had an idea ofwhat your ministry life term,
lifelong legacy was gonna be.
What you told me?
The story that you had thisdream of having a coffee shop oh
(06:41):
, yes right yes.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Right, yes.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Was this your ministry dream?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
I don't know if it was.
No, it wasn't my ministry dream, it was just I wanted a very
quaint cottage looking coffeehouse.
I thought it was a nice vibeand I wanted to maintain that
vibe throughout my life.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
My original ministry that I thought, which, I guess,
kind of butterfly affected itsway to this couch, if you will.
Okay, my ministry, I think whenI was about 13, 14, 15 years
old, is when I felt this in myheart and spirit I wanted to
become a doctor.
(07:20):
Okay, but not just any doctor,I wanted to become an ob-gyn
okay and then it it slowlyshifted from ob-gyn to just a
doula.
I wanted to.
I I dreamed of becoming thisdoula because I wanted to
deliver baby.
How did I know what ob-gyn was?
(07:41):
Because I watched the cosbyshow and dr huxtable was ob
OBGYN.
He delivered babies.
So I was like I want to deliverbabies, I want to be an OBGYN
because that's what Dr Huxtablebecame.
That.
And then I learned like, oh, adoula is a little bit personal,
it's a little bit easier.
So I wanted to do that.
It's more supportive, it's morein tune.
And I wanted to be a doulabecause I wanted to hold these
(08:05):
babies and I wanted to be one ofthe first people to pray into
these babies as they came intothe world and I wanted to
declare God in them through thepassing of my hands into their
family.
That was my legacy, that waswhat I wanted to do.
(08:27):
So my whole high school careerI'm going to be a doctor, I'm
going to be a doctor, I'm goingto be a doctor.
I went to college pre-med.
I'm going to be a doctor, I'mgoing to be a doctor.
I flunked all my classes.
They kicked me out of medschool.
It was a terrible time.
I thought it was a failure.
And I said then, why?
Why, lord, did you put thisdesire in my heart, you know,
(08:53):
and slowly but surely, I wentinto health administration to
try to keep that legacy alive.
You know, keep the dream going.
I was going to find my way intobecoming a doula at some point
some way, somehow.
So I went into healthadministration.
The recession hit.
I got no job we're going tostill try to figure this out and
I'm like, okay, let me figureout what I can do.
Got into women's health and Ithought, okay, women's health,
(09:14):
I'm there in some way.
Worked with children, workedwith women, became a health
coach because I lost my job.
I got laid off, so I became ahealth coach, started my own
business working with women.
Still had the mindset there.
And then I soon learned to hatethat job and I'm like, but I'm
the one who created it.
(09:35):
Like, how can I hate what Icreated?
Like, this isn't right.
And so I went to God and Godsaid where did I show up the
most in your life?
And it wasn't with babies, itwasn't with other women, it was
in my love life.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
When, all that time in and out of relationships,
giving my heart to the wrongpeople, not fully giving it to
him, I finally did give it tohim and I met you and that was
the biggest transformation of mylife.
That was the biggesttransformation of my life.
And so God brought me to thattestimony and said I want you to
teach women that, through yourtestimony of finding love in me
(10:13):
and then in Kyle, that they cando it and that it can be
replicated and that they cantrust in me for life and for
love.
And I will show that, thattheir desires can come to come
true.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
and so here I am so I talked about how god didn't
just call us to get married, tohave just kids and die.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah, right to just so what is your?
Speaker 2 (10:38):
I'm going to ask you this because it's we're in the
ministry legacy what is yourpersonal ministry legacy right
now, like current, and then yourvision for long-term?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
My personal legacy.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Your personal ministry legacy.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
My personal ministry legacy.
I think, as we are coming toJuly, as I am in this season, if
I've been praying and fasting,I really believe that it's more
than just relationships.
It's more than just single women.
It's more than just wives.
I think I am being called intoa ministry to empower women in
(11:17):
their faith and to become boldin their faith, to truly stand
on their faith as a wife, as amother, as a single woman, as
someone who bakes bread, assomeone who is a homemaker, as
someone who is working in thefield, as someone who's an
(11:40):
entrepreneur, trying to writebooks or trying to start a
business, being bold andstanding on that faith with
boldness, unapologetically, notafraid of it, not afraid of
cancel culture, not ashamed ofwho's with them or who's not
with them, because they knowthat God is with them and they
will not fail.
That is what, I believe, mylasting legacy is for my
(12:05):
daughter, for my friends, for mymother, for everyone who sees
me.
I want them to feel and reachthe same potential of boldness
in their faith and carry thattorch wherever they go.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Amen, amen, I think-.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
What is yours?
Speaker 2 (12:29):
okay, I was going a different direction, but that's
cool, I'll take it.
Okay.
My personal ministry legacyright now is to you're so good
with your words, you're sopoetic and how you talk, thank
you is to just help men reallyembrace what god has called them
to amen that's it.
It's not sugar-coated, it's nota whole bunch of words.
It's help men figure out whatGod has called them to, how to
(12:53):
be the best man that they can beand push them and pull them and
help them.
I don't have it all together,but by leaning on God and
leaning on what his word saysthat a man needs to be and do to
help other men to reach that iswhat I'm called for, what my
(13:14):
ministry legacy will be.
And then to help couples andhelp the man in the couple to be
the best man he can be for thatwoman and for his family is
what my lasting ministry legacyis right now, just personally.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
How can we help couples figure out what their
ministry legacy is?
Hey everyone, we hope thatyou're enjoying this episode,
and right now we want to justtake a small minute to introduce
to you the latest thing that wecreated to help you elevate
your relationship and take it tothe next level.
It's called the Love by FaithPlaybook.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Every good coach knows they have to have winning
plays.
We went through our foundationseries and we pulled out some of
the best winning plays andcreated strategies for you guys.
Plays like how to be betterfinancially, how to do ministry
together, how to be betterromantically, how to be better
family life.
We went through all thesedifferent areas from the
foundation series and put ittogether in a playbook.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
So grab your Love by Faith playbook today.
You can use the link in thedescription below, enter it, and
the good news about this isthat it is a living document, so
you download it one time andevery single month we're going
to be updating this document togive you fresh, new plays to
help you and your partner Loveby faith and create a winning
(14:33):
season.
Go ahead and get your love byfaith playbook now, and let's
get back into this episode.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I think we, how we can help couples find out what
their lasting ministry legacy is, goes back to our playbook,
because all those resources worktogether to help the couple be
stronger, to help the coupleunderstand themselves, to help
the couple figure out wheretheir weaknesses are, to build
it up, to ask themselves what doI really want?
(15:05):
What am I really working for?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I think we have like eight or nine resources in there
at this point and it's justgoing to keep going.
That's why we called it aplaybook, because season one,
season two, you know, season 10,it's just going to keep going.
Yeah, and if you really are upto it, if you really downloaded
it and you check it, you knowevery other month, every month,
you are going to get somethingnew out of it, every single time
(15:29):
do you think we have 10 seasonsworth of stuff to talk about?
Absolutely.
You want to know why?
Because we keep living for Godand God's going to keep pouring
into us and we have a burden anda desire to share what he's
sharing into us into the rest ofthe world.
Absolutely, amen.
Life keeps going on.
We're going to keep goingthrough seasons.
We're going to keep having highseasons and low seasons.
Our kids are still small.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
You beat me to it.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Our kids are still small, like we still haven't
even hit the preteens, theteenage years, the adult years,
the grandparent years, thesenior years, the retirement
years.
For people who could rock withus all the way into the
retirement seasons, like I, I'msure by then we're gonna be
having like weekend, uh retreatsthat would be fun weekend
(16:15):
retreats somewhere tropicalbecause kyle likes tropical
weather where we can just havelike masterminds and we can have
like intensives and weekendcouple experiences like I would
love to see that happen and cometo play, and then you have your
podcast live right there tohave cool big like q and a's and
that would be great, be sweet.
(16:35):
So, yeah, I, I absolutelybelieve that that is definitely
possible and doable.
I mean, think about five yearsago it was 2020 where the world
turned upside down the world Iknew you were gonna.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
I knew you were Keep going, that was five years ago.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
That was like a blink at this point.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
It does.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
It goes by so fast, you know, and so for us to say
10 years from now, will we stillbe doing this?
I hope we would have more helpto do it.
I can't do it all by myself.
I definitely know that thereare more people out there who
have more skills and moreresources to do it.
But yeah, why not?
For?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
more skills and more resources to do it.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
But yeah, why not For real?
What else are we going to do?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Yeah, no, we're going to keep helping couples.
We're going to keep growing,we're going to keep getting
better and learning aboutourselves yeah Right and
investing in ourselves to bebetter hosts, better ministers,
better counselors.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
To be better for God, better Christians.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I love that in our premarital coaching course, in
our premarital coaching programthat we offer, that we make it a
point to talk to the couples onwhat they think God is pulling
them into.
Like which ministry God ispulling them into?
Speaker 2 (17:52):
like which ministry God is pulling them into because
it's such?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
an important part of what they're creating and to
really flesh that conversationout before you get married and
before you become one, so thatthey're both knowing going in
and they know how to pray andthey know how to pour into that
specific area.
I think is huge, and so we dothat.
(18:17):
We make it a point.
We made it a point that when wewere creating the premarital
coaching course, that that wasgoing to be one of the things
that we included in that.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Yep, absolutely, because that whole, the big
picture, is what I think is ahuge foundation piece for us,
that big picture of the wholeChristian, the whole Christian,
the whole giving back, but alsobuilding up yourself and also
knowing your gifts, and alsoknowing your wife's gifts, and
(18:46):
also knowing how those giftsmesh to take it to the public
arena and to work together, andthat it's not just, uh, I do
this and she does that.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Or that it's that we, we do this to accomplish
something and it keeps us close,it keeps us united.
It keeps us feeling the um, thefire.
I think for us so muchpersonally.
Literally, you and me, selena,are we fell in love, planning
and working together, buildingthat outreach that we did I was
(19:23):
thinking about that the otherday and that and that it has.
That working together has stuckwith us, yes, and is such a
bond that we have.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
And when we have to work together for something like
I feel so connected and soconfident in working together
with you.
Yes.
It's not intimidating If we hadto do one of those couples
reality shows where we had towork together to figure
something out easy.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
I would feel very confident working through that
with you I was thinking aboutthat the other day because
planning a wedding our, ourwedding planning experience was
literally effortless because weworked together on big projects
before.
I was talking to a couplerecently and they're planning
(20:14):
their wedding and it's gettingto the point where I told them
you should treat it like abusiness meeting to get the
business out of the way andbasically had to break it down
to them like you're planning anevent, like, yeah, you're
planning your wedding, wedding,but you're planning a major
event right, you have to workwith your partner to plan a
(20:36):
major event.
And the reason why it was soeffortless for us was because we
had been experienced inplanning big events like yeah,
we planned 5,000 people eventswe planned big events for our
church.
It probably was like it was areally big event, like we gave
away over 750 backpacks, youknow.
(20:57):
We did a week long of communityservice.
We were doing prayer walksaround our entire neighborhood
for seven days, just likewalking around jericho, so that
the walls could come down andsouls could be saved, like that
is a big project that we workedon.
So, when it comes to planning aone day, you know, four hour
(21:18):
event like a wedding, we werelike, all right, we could do
this.
We got this in the bag becausewe've done it before and so,
yeah, we, we really worked onthat, on that muscle and that.
That we're grateful.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
We're grateful because we didn't know that
doing that and being obedient tothat, calling as two single
people falling in love we didn'tknow that that was going to
play into planning our wedding.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Right.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
We didn't know that it was going to play into
planning our marriage.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
And to heaven those good we.
We still have business meetings.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Absolutely.
Every week, every, we stillhave business meetings
Absolutely Every week everymonth With finances and meal
planning.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Keeping the kids together.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
That is another resource in the playbook.
We have that in there for youguys to create this
communication plan.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Right, so season two is coming to an end.
Yes, we've done all thesetopics, so many topics.
I wish I could memorize themlike you do.
I think it comes from you doingthe editing and doing the
production.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Yeah, memorize them like you do.
I think it comes from you doingthe editing and doing the
production, yeah, but uh, Icould pull it up.
I'm gonna pull it up on myphone so you can see it from the
buzz sprout, um, from the buzzsprout place.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
I wish I could pull it up and so I could be like, oh
, that was my favorite episode,that was my favorite series.
But this legacy series hasreally been one that has helped
me to think forward, and I likethinking forward like I like
yeah, I like vision and casting,vision and vision planning and
um setting up goals and settingup like it's helped me put into
(22:43):
perspective like these are myhealth goals for the next three
years.
These are my.
This is my family goals for thenext three years.
This is my friendship goals forthe next three years.
This is my friendship goals forthe next three years, yeah
Right, and thinking about thislegacy mindset of what do I
really want to stand for andreally want to look forward to
(23:05):
has been a big win for thisseries, and maybe it's just
recency effect.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
This is my favorite series that we did well, I have
I have all of our episodes, soI'm just gonna say the title of
the series okay from season twonow.
We started season two inoctober okay okay, yeah, which
is crazy, that we've been goingfrom october to july
consistently weekly.
It's a very long season.
So we started like episode 43.
(23:33):
We're now at 80 something atthis point yeah, our first um.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Our first series was for the guys okay, then we did
for the girls and then we didfor the ladies right, we did
love and respect oh, that wasthis season.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
That was this season.
We did um the love Respect.
And then we had the ChristmasBreak, and then we did Holy
Spirit, which was really good,making sure people understood
that we did Love Sex, flowersand Chocolate.
Oh, February.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
That was fun, that was a fun series, that was a fun
series.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I feel like next season we got to do a little bit
more fun stuff.
We had the Serious Coupleseries where we talked about 101
questions to ask before gettingengaged, preparing for marriage
.
We talked about those two books.
We talked about the springcleaning, which was just like
all the random episodes yeah,the random yep, to clean out our
content.
Um, yep, our content stuff.
(24:23):
Yeah, say it like you mean it.
Talking about communication, um, we talked about anxiety and
then we talked about legacy, sothere's a lot of stuff in there
and, like we keep mentioning, ummany of these series are
accompanied with a resource anda tool that is in the playbook
(24:44):
so make sure you guys go aheadand download that to just help
you in those different areas.
But based on all that kyle,based on all the series that we
just listed, there was a lot.
We talked about a lot of stuffhere I.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
You know what my brain goes immediately to is
like what's missing?
What can we do next season?
What?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
can we?
Speaker 2 (25:02):
add, or what can we revisit, or we could do like the
next part of that yeah and so Ican't wait for season three.
I think we'll do some some.
We'll do some new things.
I have some new ideas alreadythat the lord's really put on my
heart yeah for our nextplanning meeting to to talk
about.
I'm excited, I'm grateful forthat.
Season two is over.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
I'm looking forward to a few weeks off here do you
want to know what the mostwatched and listened to season
is, or episode is from seasontwo?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
wait.
Um, it's going to be one of theanxiety episodes.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
You think?
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
One that really or else the sex episode.
You would think that, and Idon't want that to happen.
That happened to me on YouTubeand it just it was terrible.
The one that is the most thatstands out.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Holy smokes.
I'm looking at the graph thatshe has, and this one is like 30
.
It's an outlierlier.
No, it's not 30, it's like 60.
No, no, I'm saying it's like ohyeah so much six.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Yeah, so it is love and respect.
How wives can respect theirhusbands even when they don't
want to dang?
that's a heavy episode, that's aheavy, that's a heavy title our
wives can respect theirhusbands even when they don't
want to.
That is the highest episode ofseason two.
And so if we're going to goabout like the gary v model,
(26:28):
gary vanderchuk model, he wouldsay you make 100 episodes just
to do it, just to make it, justto say that you've done it with
all the topics, and then onceyou make over a hundred episodes
, then you pick the episodesthat have the most views, the
most engagement, and youpinpoint and you go deeper into
those topics.
And so I will not be surprisedif in season three we talk more
(26:50):
about these wives respectingtheir husbands, even when they
don't want to, and we just takeit and we just kind of pull it
into different branches of thatvine and and see how we can
continue talking about that,because clearly people are
interested in hearing about thatand want to receive more
counsel in that area.
That's hard.
(27:11):
I mean, yeah, that's hard but Ido want fun stuff.
That's always fun and, andgoing back to like season one,
people were really into hearingour story.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
You know, and so maybe a little bit of this, a
little bit of that, a little bitof this, a little bit of that,
a sprinkle of this, it'll begood.
And, of course, as always, weare going to enter into a season
of prayer and fasting.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Right.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
To really hear what God wants to say and to really
put on our hearts.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
None of this is on our own, no absolutely not, and
I mean we are.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
you know, whether we want to admit it or not.
We are in end times and so itis getting serious with our
faith and with sharing thegospel and with what are we
doing?
How are we taking the time andnot taking it for granted, and
how are we not wasting time withwhat we have and where God has
us?
(28:04):
And how can we inspire couplesto, you know, make the most of
where God has them in theirseason?
I mean, those are all reallygood things that we need to talk
about.
We haven't really sat andtalked about them specifically
in in that depth.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Let's go.
We'll be there in season three,so how many weeks off do I get?
Speaker 1 (28:26):
How many weeks off do I get?
I mean, okay, so this is theend of July, we're taking August
off and then we'retransitioning into school.
Back to school settings.
So we'll be back mid-September,so we got like six weeks
(28:47):
Probably mid-September, some ofoctober, yeah, and you know, who
knows, we might come back onthere and do some commercial,
maybe some mini soads.
We like to do mini soads during,you know, our kids spring break
and our kids, uh, winter breakyeah so there might be some mini
sodes in there, some littlebonuses, maybe just for guys or
maybe just for girls, just tokind of help keep the the, the
silence moving along a littlebit I want you to forget about

sometimes.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
It's all right, man.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
I stand on what I say .
Speaker 2 (29:35):
We get better.
We learn from our mistakes.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
I stand on what I say , and that's why we pray before
and after every episode, becausewe want God to be the filter of
our face and make sure thatwhat we say is the right thing
to say.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
That's right, You've made it to the end of season two

Speaker 2 (33:37):

new beginning comes from someother beginning's end.

Was that a fortune cookie?
Speaker 2 (33:45):
No, okay, it's a 90s song.

I'm not going to sing itbecause I can't sing.
You don't know who sings it.
I just know the line.
I'm not going to sing itbecause, I can't sing.
You don't know who sings it.
It might be Green Day.
No, I think it's like a one-hitwonder.
Every new beginning begins witha Cut no, every new beginning
(34:07):
comes from some otherbeginning's end.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Every new beginning comes from some other
beginning's end.
