Is is possible to give everything to your career and your marriage at the same time? Is 'busy' a bad word? What does it look like to be truly vulnerable with someone else? How can you live a big life but include everyone around you? How can you process long-term illness and its impact together?
We covered all this and more with powerhouse couple Dan and Charlie Blythe. Dan is the Global Youth Director for Alpha and Charlie is EU Director for international anti-slavery charity A21. Parents to two young boys, they also host Yung Cubs, a parenting podcast supporting mums and dads through raw and real conversations about the day-to-day realities of raising children in our modern world.
They are passionate about living big, full lives which benefit other people - they're constantly on the move, 'busy' is a banned word in their household. Though they don't always get it right - they want to try and see the things they do as a blessing which they can use in serving as many people as possible.
In this episode, Dan and Charlie share with genuine honesty about their story together and their heart to serve each other. We also hear about Charlie's lifelong challenges with epilepsy and the impact that had on their relationship, how they manage to balance family life and work, and what their vision for relationships is.
