Ben Kjar and LaCol Kjar return for Part 2 of their 'Epic Marriage' conversation with Nick and Alex. LaCol shares their 10-year infertility journey and the moment they reached peace without children. They told each other "we're good. If we go the rest of our lives without kids, that will be an amazing life together." After surrendering that desire to God, they were surprised with three children through adoption.

In this episode of the Epic Marriage Podcast, hosts Nick and Alex Leyva explore what happens when individual competitors learn to surrender control and become more together. Ben chose wrestling because he could control everything through individual effort. But marriage required surrendering control. His word for 2025 is "Let Him" after spending a lifetime grabbing the wheel from the passenger seat.

The Kjars prove that magic happens when you let messengers stir the holy waters in your life. Watch their story in Stand Out: The Ben Kjar Story, releasing January 23, 2026through Angel Studios. Tickets at StandOutFilm.com.

Ben and LaCol Kjar share their extraordinary love story on the Epic Marriage podcast. Ben was born with Crouzon Syndrome and became Utah Valley University's first All-American wrestler after doctors said contact sports were impossible. LaCol was a track athlete who slid into Ben's DMs and came home from their first date knowing she was in trouble—she thought she might be in love.

In this episode, hosts Nick and Alex Leyva explore the faith required when LaCol faced a massive decision: mission to Italy or marriage to Ben. The night before she was supposed to be set apart, Ben proposed. LaCol chose marriage, and the adversary attacked hard whenever they were apart during engagement.

The Kjars prove that extraordinary marriages happen when you choose each other even when the path isn't clear. Their story is featured in "Stand Out: The Ben Kjar Story," releasing January 23, 2026 through Angel Studios. Tickets at standoutfilm.com.

Dr. Chelom Leavitt returns to Epic Marriage to discuss intimacy and sexuality in covenant relationships. Nick and Alex explore why disciples of Christ often struggle to connect spirituality with physical intimacy, and Dr. Leavitt explains how Satan distorts something designed to bond couples together.

In this episode of the Epic Marriage podcast, hosts Nick and Alex Leyva learn that emotional connection is the biggest contributing factor to meaningful sex, not physical technique or frequency. Dr. Leavitt challenges cultural messages about speeding up and increasing frequency, revealing these approaches cater only to male sexual response cycles. When couples slow down and become other-focused, both spouses report dramatically better experiences.

Dr. Leavitt draws connections between intimacy and spirituality, explaining how sex functions as a sacrament when approached with reverence. The episode closes with guidance for couples who feel uncomfortable discussing intimacy and need resources to weed out negative cultural attitudes.

Listen to the full conversation with Dr. Chelom Leavitt on the Epic Marriage Podcast. Visit YourEpicMarriage.com for resources designed specifically for temple-sealed couples who want their relationship to reflect the eternal significance it carries.
