Shownotes Transcript

Matt & Lauren Chandler get brutally honest about their 25-year marriage, parenting struggles, and ministry life in this raw conversation on FamilyLife Today. Discover how they moved past 7 ”brutal” early years, found healing through vulnerability and Celebrate Recovery, and built a friendship that sustains them through every season. From navigating differing interests to regretting missed opportunities with their kids, Matt and Lauren don’t hold back. They emphasize the power of authenticity, the necessity of deep community, and the illusion of control when raising adult children. Plus, hear candid confessions about spiritual leadership at home and Matt’s ”icy” demeanor.
