In this engaging conversation, Angela Schnieders, Father Nathan Cromly, President and Founder of the St. John's Leadership Institute and Chantal Howard, Founder of Catholic Finishing School explore the profound themes of marriage as a mission, the importance of family dynamics, and the role of faith in leadership. They discuss how couples can redefine success, embrace their unique family missions, and the significance of community and retreats in fostering growth and encouragement. The dialogue emphasizes the need for humor, love, and a supportive environment in navigating the challenges of family life, ultimately inviting couples to reflect on their journeys and seek deeper connections with one another and God.
