Our Rough Draft is where real conversations about marriage, family, work, and life’s messy middle unfold. Hosted by Denise and Tim Waters, this podcast invites listeners into their living room as they share honest stories about building a marriage that lasts, raising kids in the whirlwind of school and sports, and balancing careers with connection.
Each week, they bring a mix of laughter, lessons learned, and life experiments—because every family is a “rough draft” in progress. From kids’ sports to career decisions, from parenting fails to moments of unexpected joy, Denise and Tim show how love, humor, and resilience can turn everyday chaos into meaningful connection.
And every episode ends with “The Question”—a simple prompt for couples, families, or friends to use in sparking deeper conversations of their own.
If you’re looking for a podcast that’s equal parts marriage insights, work-life lessons, sports sideline stories, and heart, you’re in the right place.
