Today we are sitting down and talking with Jeremy and Jinger Vuolo. If you recognize those names that because they are on the TLC show "Counting On" and Jinger grew up on the show, "19 Kids and Counting." We get to dive into the Vuolo's love story and how they prepared more for their marriage than their wedding day and being newlyweds like ourselves. We talk about what they're doing to be intentional and how they protected their purity, and how they're pursuing oneness, and the early stages of having a baby. So we get to hear all their thoughts on that and ultimately what they are doing to pursue a love letter life. It's a really fun conversation. We think you guys are going to love it!

In this episode, we are sharing more of our new book, A Love Letter Life! This is probably one of our favorite chapters in the book. It talks about a love story that helped shape our love story. And within that story, there is a principle that we loved and chose to be intentional with it. We are talking about the principle of sharing. The idea of sharing your life with someone else and striving towards oneness. Loving what they love, and allowing yourselves to build thousands of strands of oneness and togetherness.

For this week's episode, we are so excited because we are sitting down to interview the couple who has probably had the biggest impact on our love story in our marriage today. Chris and Jamie Herb. Jamie was Audrey's college mentor and Chris was the Area Director for Young Life when Audrey was in college. Chris and Jamie had a huge impact on Audrey's college experience. When Audrey started dating Jeremy, and they got engaged, they asked Chris and Jamie if they would do the premarital counseling. They inspired the Marriage Journal. They inspired so much of our book, A Love Letter Life, which is available everywhere now! They were huge supporters of Jeremy and Audrey in their relationship leading up to their wedding day and to this very day as well. And also just huge supporters of them in the writing of A Love Letter Life and Beating 50 Percent and all the other things that they do. We hope that you receive something amazing from this interview because it is full of gold! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We have another sneak peak into our book that just released, A Love Letter Life. This one is the first chapter, which is titled A Patient Pursuit. It's all about our time of friendship; from when we first started hanging out. We discuss how we continued to prepare ourselves as individuals for the eventual day that we would be married. And then also just what it looked like for Jeremy to bravely and persistently pursue Audrey. During this time, we spent lots of time around community and other friends and just learning more about each other. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's book launch day!!! A very big part of the reason why we wrote A Love Letter Life, was that we felt very strongly, when we were engaged, that we wanted to be more intentional about preparing for our marriage than preparing for our wedding day. It's something that our culture as a whole, especially our generation, has lost sight of. We spend all this time planning this epic wedding day, but then forget to prepare for an epic marriage. That's something that we are really passionate about. So we are going to share six things with you that found super helpful during our engagement that helped us prepare for our marriage. Hopefully they will help you in whichever walk of life you are currently in. To order our book, go to: https://aloveletterlife.com. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After 14 years over 300 episodes and 17 seasons I made the decision to leave Little People Big World. It was an amazing run and played such a huge part of my life. I would do it all over again, which I believe sums up my feelings about it pretty well. However, there are seasons for everything and in this next season, Audrey and I want to shift our focus. We want to focus on our calling, not just our comfort. In this episode, we dive into why I decided to leave LPBW.
