Ep 215 Testimony of a Restored Marriage – Chuck & Lisa

In this episode, we sit down with author and illusionist Drew Worsham to discuss his new book, The Magic of Curiosity: Unlocking Personal Growth, Deeper Connections, and Creativity in Every Area of Life.

Drew unpacks how curiosity can transform both our spiritual journey and our relationships. He challenges us to consider: How often do we miss out on divine moments because we’re too busy or distracted? By leaning into curiosity and even wrestling with God, we move beyond surface-level faith and discover a deeper, more vibrant relationship with Him.

We explore how curiosity plays a powerful role in marriage and connection. Whether you’re standing for marriage restoration, navigating separation, co-parenting, or seeking healing within your home today, this conversation will inspire you to build stronger communication and connection, so you are prepared for the next phase of your marriage. Drew reminds us that curiosity, about God and about one another, opens the door to growth, understanding, and restored relationships.

This is a conversation for anyone longing for hope, healing, and a deeper walk with God in every season of life and marriage.
