Fortitude
Everyone has a story of Fortitude! When we tell our stories of pain in adversity - stories of courage, redemption and hope - we give others permission to speak up and get the help they need. Each episode will give the listener a look inside what overcoming adversity looks like no matter what life throws at you. Each story is uniquely different - stories of alcoholism/addiction, infidelity, rape, abuse, loss of a child/children, cancer, rare disease, tragic accidents...etc.! We are in this life together to support one another and build community around hope and redemption. I am your host, Heather Kittelson, and I am so excited to have you here as part of the Fortitude community!

Episode 71: She held the home. He led the city With Paul & Jill TenHaken
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Paul & Jill TenHaken, Part 2 (drop today)
She held the home. He led the city. And somewhere in between, they had to figure out how to stay married, stay close to God, and stay close to each other.
Part 2 is here.
Paul and Jill TenHaken sit down together for a conversation most couples in public life would never have on a mic. And they went there.
What "oneness" actually means after years of pressure, sacrifice, and learning to surrender together. Their love languages (and yes, they're different). The mentors who taught them what covenant looks like before they had to live it out. The habits that keep them spiritually connected when life is pulling them in every direction. And the one small, sacred thing that always brings them back to each other.
We also asked who said "I love you" first. And who really meant it first.
We asked what habit drives the other one completely crazy.
We asked what they used to fight about that now just makes them laugh.
This is not a polished, curated version of a marriage. This is two people being real about what it costs to choose each other and choose God at the same time, over and over again.
If your marriage needs a reminder that covenant is worth fighting for, this is your episode.
If you know a couple who's in the thick of it right now, send this to them. Sometimes the thing that shifts everything is hearing someone else say "us too."
