2. Dispelling Spiritual Myths: What Formation in Marriage Isn’t

3. A Live, Honest Spiritual Conversation with Erik and Bekah Buchterkirchen

Bryan and Rachel sit down with their dear friends Erik and Bekah Buchterkirchen to walk through a reflective, prayerful spiritual conversation in real time. Erik and Bekah journeyed through the 9-month version of the Ignatian Exercises with Bryan and Rachel back in 2022-2023 when they had a toddler and were expecting their second child, and they reflect on some of the pieces of that experience that have lingered with them. You'll hear what it sounds like when two people slow down, pay attention, and pray through their lives together. Erik is a pastor and recently finished his ThM in theology. Bekah is a talented writer and speaker, with her own devotional, Seen in the Unseen: A Four-Week Devotional for Mamas of Littles [https://www.amazon.com/Seen-Unseen-Experiencing-Four-Week-Devotional/dp/B0DJ6FSJH9?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.HN0LEzERnlZAiTh36D9ErQ.wtHm9cmuWWK6p3MisY-Hj24v2grQJKl5pM10mEl-oh4&qid=1733085879&sr=1-1-catcorr&linkCode=sl1&tag=bekahbuck0f-20&linkId=21510b3aa192927aacdf62163b54779d&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl], published in 2024.
