BTS Of Our Decision To Close The Always More Shop
BTS Of Our Decision To Close The Always More Shop
After a ton of prayer, endless hours of conversation, and plenty of tears, Jeremy + Audrey have decided to close the shop, Always More. If you have been following Audrey for a while, you know how difficult it was for her to make this decision. ⁣These words, inspired by Ephesians 3:20, are a reminder to ALWAYS believe in the MORE that is within, through Christ. Over the past 15 years, ALWAYS MORE has not only been a life mantra for Audrey, but it has also become a community, a clothing line, and a source of hope, inspiration, and encouragement to women around the world. There are countless stories about how ALWAYS MORE has helped so many people through loss, heartbreaking diagnosis’s, mental illness, miscarriages, becoming a mom, athletics, starting a business, or pursuing a dream. More than they ever imagined! ⁣⁣⁣We hope the shop closing doesn’t stop the ALWAYS MORE message continue to spread. The beautiful thing about encouragement is that it’s free to give, but it could be of infinite worth to the person receiving it. And that’s what we hope ALWAYS MORE will always be. ⁣#alwaysmore All things mentioned in this episode are linked HERE. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

EP 66: When Less Becomes More with Emily Ley
EP 66: When Less Becomes More with Emily Ley
We have been loving this season on the podcast and one of the biggest conversations we are continuing to have is around the idea of rest and slowing down. Emily Ley justs released her 3rd book, When Less Is More, after a season of redefining what “the good life” meant to her.  Her book was written from the trenches where she felt deep burn out even though a lot of good things were going on. She was saying yes to everything and soon her life and company became more complicated - coming against her foundational message of simplified. She felt really disconnected and far from herself.  You are going to love this episode!

Ep 41: BTS Of Our Wedding Day And 9 Things We’re So Glad We Did
Even though our wedding day was filmed for the TV show and documented in our book, there are some things we have never shared before! But that is all changing today because we are taking you behind the scenes to the unseen and unwritten moments of our wedding day. Like how Jeremy didn't have his wedding ring that day (thanks @zach) or how Audrey's dress broke RIGHT before walking down the aisle. We are sharing all those fun, memorable moments! We also wanted to let you in on some of the things we did to make our wedding day special - and we hope this sparks inspiration for your own wedding day! And if you are already married, we talk about creative and intentional anniversary ideas you can do to reflect on your big day! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ep 28: Fighting The Purity Battle Before And Within Marriage
Today's episode is another audiobook reading! We hope you guys are enjoying these. In this episode, we share about fighting the purity battle and how we struggled with it. This was probably one of the hardest chapters we had to write, but it has prompted a lot of great conversation from all of you! Culture has overvalued the wedding day and undervalued the promise of forever within marriage, in the same way, they have overvalued virginity and undervalued purity. So we unpack what purity looks like to us and how we should refocus our energy on fighting the purity battle and not just the virginity battle.

Ep 26: A Section From “A Love Letter Life” - A Creative Type of Love
More audiobook readings! We are reading from the chapter titled A Creative Type of Love. This is our favorite chapter! I know we said last week that the Principle of Sharing was our favorite, but this truly is our favorite. We share stories from when we were dating about how we chose to PURSUE CREATIVELY. DATE INTENTIONALLY. LOVE FAITHFULLY. This is essentially where our "Love Letter Life" began; in the typewriter letters, long distance dating, and desire to do things differently. We hope you enjoy listening to these audiobook readings. Share with us what your favorite chapter from "A Love Letter Life" is. What about it resonates with you?
