from Warrior Words | Stories of Hope | Finding Beauty After Battles & Thriving After Surviving Trauma · host Heather Gaffney - Author, Artist, and YouTuber; Storyteller, Warrior, Survivor, Thriver & Faithful Catholic
Welcome to Episode 142 of the Warrior Words podcast! What happens when the Holy Spirit introduces you to your spouse in a country where you both are foreigners and you don't even speak the same language? I was blessed to sit down with Brooke Joiner this week! She shares an interesting story of how she met and married her husband. It's not your typical story! She shares with us the challenges created by the cultural differences she and her husband each brought to the marriage. The challenges create a more unique situation that can derail your relationship if you are not prayerful and intentional. Brooke is delightful, and we shared many laughs during this conversation!
