Grow Yourself Grow Your Marriage
Don’t be fooled by the curated podcast cover.
This isn’t some polished, filtered version of marriage and family life.
This is war for truth, for unity, for legacy.
Chris and Johnna Farrell, married 12 years with six kids ten and under, bring the raw, the real, and the redemptive. From marriage mishaps to spiritual warfare, parenting chaos to purpose-driven obedience, they expose it all. Not for clicks, but for growth. Yours and theirs.
They’re not here for small talk.
They’re not interested in lukewarm faith.
They’re not sugarcoating the gospel to make it more “palatable.”
This show is for couples who want to live boldly, parent on purpose, and follow Jesus with fire in their bones, even if it costs them everything.
No fluff. No filters. Just fierce obedience and the real stuff that matters.
