“Jeff and Alyssa, I’ve been watching your story since Jeff’s viral video of Jesus and religion. I’ve always enjoyed Jeff’s passion and perspective on Christianity and the depth he brings. For someone so young, has really mastered a lot in life and had cut there the distractions our world tells us to buy into. I can’t wait to read his newest book. As a newlywed and a young wife though, the spirit keeps pricking me when I listen to the podcast, that while I know a 1 hour weekly podcast does not qualify me to know all the details of your relationship, I’m a little concerned that Jeff seems to have a “haughty” attitude with his wife. I notice when she gives feedback, he will respond like he is responding to a child, even in certain tones that differ. I notice when a man is in the show or on his other podcast, he seems to have more of a respect for him than his wife. Although I’m not saying that’s the case, I just know out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. So idk? Maybe I’m wrong. But I can so resonate and hear Alyssa feeling like she’s wanting more to life or almost “permission” to do more, and while I know Jeff is supportive, sometimes there’s an attitude that may be in the home that makes Alyssa feel like she can’t flourish in other giftings and callings for her life. Jeff can seem selfish when he says “it I just want to go do something, or learn something, I just do it... I feel the freedom to just do it..” while Alyssa is struggling to have that perspective or freedom. It can almost be like that Romans’ scripture of taunting your freedom? Idk if that makes sense. I also noticed there where times where Jeff would reallllyyyy make sure he proved his point or that his point was heard or right over Alyssa’s. I know no marriage is perfect and you all have set a great example, but this is something that’s been on my heart for a while. I pray over your marriage and have love for your family. Jeff please slow down when you talk and be patient with Alyssa as she communicates differently. Alyssa, I pray you feel empowered and know your truth and insight is so valuable and needed. Love you guys.”
