Did you know there’s been a 34% increase in divorce since Covid hit? Recent data from LegalTemplates revealed that most couples attributed the decision to pandemic-related stressors. We decided it was important to chat with a couple who is passionate about both mental health and marriage. Pastors James and Lisa Duvall lead the marriage ministry at Christ Fellowship, and Lisa recently became a certified mental health coach.

Key Takeaways:


How James decided to take Lisa’s childhood baggage and make it “our story” and “our issue” rather than “her story” and “her issue.”
The importance of full disclosure and vulnerability in marriage.
How they locked arms through a ministry blow-up, parenting struggles, and identity issues (instead of blaming one another).
The importance of confronting lies with the truth when facing mental health challenges.

The Duvalls shared so much wisdom and real-life experience. This episode is one you don’t want to miss!
