| 8/26/26 | S6E16: Cancer Changes Everything—So What Do You Believe? | When you've faced a life-altering cancer diagnosis, the big questions become impossible to ignore: What's the meaning of all this? What happens after we die? Does any of it matter? In this episode, Beth and Jamie dive headfirst into the conversation that makes some people uncomfortable — faith. Not faith as a set of rules or Sunday performances, but faith as a living, breathing relationship with someone they believe is actively present today.They get honest about what it feels like when people think you're “crazy" for claiming to hear from God, why Jesus demands a response instead of offering a comfortable middle ground, and how the desire for autonomy keeps so many people from exploring something that could change everything. Beth opens up about her own surrender moment — the instant she stopped trying to carry the weight alone and let her life shift into what she calls "Technicolor."They also explore the surprising data: Christianity is exploding globally — while American affiliation has been shrinking. But there's a twist. Younger generations, drowning in unprecedented anxiety and skeptical of institutions, are showing a renewed hunger for spiritual meaning. Jamie shares what she's seeing in her own community, with her kids and their peers gravitating toward faith in growing numbers.Whether you're a devout believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, this episode is an open invitation to ask the hard questions and keep seeking. As Jamie says: "Keep listening to your gut. Keep seeking, and you will find Him."Learn more or support Faith Through Fire at faiththroughfire.orgCompanies mentioned in this episode:Faith Through FireThrivent Gateway Financial Group | — | ||||||
| 8/12/26 | S6E15: Still Hot After Kids: Keeping the Spark Alive in Midlife | Midlife can quietly pull couples apart—kids, careers, aging parents, health scares—until you’re roommates managing a life instead of partners living one. In this episode, Beth and Jes sit down with Chris and Jodi Gibbs of Still Hot After Kids, a couple married 30+ years who almost lost each other in that grind… and fought their way back.Chris’s body hit a wall after 40: anxiety, panic attacks, an ER/ICU scare, and a lifestyle built on 60–70-hour weeks and gas-station food. Jodi was raising four girls (including twins), carrying the emotional load, and feeling alone even when he thought he was “husband of the year.” They name what so many midlife couples feel but rarely say out loud—depletion, resentment, fear of change—and how fear can keep people stuck in a life that no longer fits.They share the pivots that saved them: selling the dream home, changing jobs, building a business together in real estate, choosing health side by side (yes, including morning hot-tub biohacking), and rebuilding connection through small, consistent habits—shared routines, non-sexual touch, real compliments, and time that isn’t only logistics.If you’re in the thick of “survival mode” and wondering whether the spark can come back, this conversation is honest, practical, and hopeful. You don’t need a perfect past to build a stronger next chapter—you need both people willing to try.Connect with Chris & Jodi: Still Hot After Kids on TikTok, Instagram, and [email protected] more or support Faith Through Fire at faiththroughfire.orgCompanies mentioned in this episode:Faith Through FireThrivent Gateway Financial Group | — | ||||||
