  •  Today Pastor Brian joins me as we journey through his saying I do, figuring out how to be a better spouse and following Gods word. Pastor Brian lives in Fayetteville GA with his wife Codie and 5 children.

    Hi I'm Connie Durham, the Host of this podcast and Brian is my pastor. May I say he's passionate, transparent, and also dedicated to his family and church. My mission is to cultivate connection & lasting love for an Extraordinary Marriage.

    Often our past experiences color our future and we loose our way, in finding love that last. Our personalities conflict, hurt and crush the ones we love and we don't know how to change that.

    Erin Dimond is the CEO and founder of Impact Fitness Coaching Academy. Her life mission is to make people believe in themselves. She grew up lower/middle class in a community where the average home value was 60K.

    Everyone she knew worked paycheck to paycheck and barely got by. She vividly remembers meeting the first person who didn't hate their job when she was 24 years old which was a turning point for her mindset.

    After doing the corporate soul-sucking cubicle grind for 3 years she got offered a job to work at a fitness studio.
