This week on The Corder Cast, we’re joined by our dear friends Todd and Jennifer Gerelds—and y’all, this one is a ride. From an awkward double date (their roommates hated each other) to journal entries on night one that said “I’m gonna marry this person,” their story is full of sweet moments, surprising turns, and some really honest reflections on marriage, identity, and faith.

We talk about what it means to “Slay the Me Monster” in real life—especially when you’re dealing with expectations, disappointment, and the quiet kind of pride that sneaks in unnoticed. Todd shares his struggle with depression and chasing approval, while Jennifer opens up about the hidden pressure to have it all together.

It's real, it's funny, it's encouraging—and it’s only part one.
