In this extended episode of the #RootedPodcast, we talk honestly about #grief, #love, and the way #winter slows us down so God can refine us. Instead of choosing #unhealthyCoping, we explore what it looks like to allow ourselves to be sad because we love, and to let grief do its refining work without letting it overtake us.

Through a few tears and laughter, we reflect on how #faith meets us in sorrow, how #ChristianMarriage walks through loss together, and how grief, like winter; can prepare us for new growth.

If you’re learning how to grieve without losing hope, this conversation is for you. #FaithInGrief #EmotionalHealing #BiblicalPerspective #GodInTheGrief #RefinedNotRuined

Hosts Kayle and Cassandra explore why late-night conversations matter in marriage, carving out intentional time amid parenting, work, and life to stay connected. They share personal stories about accountability, servanthood, and treating marriage as a united partnership under faith.

This episode offers practical guidance on choosing battles, keeping communication in the covenant of marriage, and checking each other’s "armor" through honest, loving dialogue rooted in biblical principles.

Hosts Cass and Kayle talk candidly about the "void" between holidays, parenting weariness, and how small choices — both good and bad — shape our spiritual lives. They explore gratitude, submission to God's heading, and practical habits to reclaim perspective.

The episode weaves personal stories (shoveling driveways, homeschooling, grief, and ministry) into takeaways about intentional devotion, using your gifts for service, and guiding children while surrendering their futures to God.
