Leah writes about marriage, not because she has all (or many) of the answers, but because her and her husband Matt have faced a serious season of crisis in their marriage. Leah said she wasn't nagging, but she spent a lot of time complaining about life. They faced health problems, had a new baby, were sleep deprivation, fought colic, and spent a lot of complaining and arguing. They chose to learn from the experience and now work together to help other couples make intentional choices to care for each other and nurture their marriage. Leah's Answers To The Fun Questions: • What are you loving right now? 5yo reading independently, 3yo adult in a little boy's body, 16mo ham, spring in Tennessee, and getting to work with her husband. • What's your favorite food/meal/snack? All the things (she's pregnant), but especially Chipotle.

Check out our website at cyclist.co.uk</ Gut Punched: Alzheimer’s & Caregivers Podcast Playground Navigating the insidious illness of Alzheimer’s is something nobody asks for. The disease sneaks up on you and your loved one, and it feels like you’ve been sucker-punched in the gut when you get the diagnosis from a doctor. So many things race through your mind: why us? What do we do? We worked so hard to get to this point in life. We just moved here after we both worked for 30 years, sold our house up North, and retired to Florida to enjoy our “golden years”. It’s not fair! Who’s going to take care of her/him? I don’t know a thing about this illness. She’s always done the cooking; I don’t even know how to boil water. He's always taken care of me and everything else, like Finances. I don’t even drive! And it goes on and on. Facing this disease will bring you to your knees. Once you get over the initial shock (GUT PUNCHED), the questions and fears take hold. Where do we turn for help? Who do I call? What do I do? How do you take care of someone with Alzheimer's? Are there support gr Unfinished People Brandon Zieske & Chad Ellenburg Welcome to the Unfinished People podcast. I'm Chad Ellenburg and my co-host is Brandon Zieske. We are both pastors who love and follow Jesus. And we are both very aware of how unfinished we are.Each week, we will talk about the struggle and the beauty of living and breathing in these unfinished vessels. The apostle Paul describes this as carrying around the Treasure of Jesus in mere "jars of clay." Don't we know it.At the coronation of Jesus on the cross, when he punched death in the mouth, he said "it is finished." So why doesn't it feel like it? If you connect with that sentiment, come have a listen. Thanks.
