Today marks 21 years of marriage for me and my husband, Bill—and no, we’re not heading to the casino for our “blackjack anniversary.” Instead, I’m reflecting on what it really means to stay in the game.

Marriage is its own kind of wilderness—unpredictable, stretching, sacred. And over these two decades, we’ve walked through valleys, career shifts, family loss, and moments where we had to lean in or risk drifting apart. Through it all, God’s provision hasn’t always come in dramatic ways… sometimes it looked like the quiet strength of a faithful partner beside me.

In this short anniversary reflection, I’m sharing the sacred parts of our story, the verses that have anchored us, and the reminder that even when love feels ordinary—God’s hand is still all over it.

💛 Whether you’re married, waiting, or walking through something hard right now… may this remind you that God’s provision shows up. Often in the people who simply stay.

“Two are better than one… if either of them falls, one can help the other up.” (Ecclesiastes 4:9–10)

Redefining Leadership: Embrace Your Influence | Faithfully Empowered Podcast

Welcome back to the Faithfully Empowered Podcast with Lisa Landry—where we redefine leadership not by titles or applause, but by faith, conviction, and obedience. In this episode, Lisa invites you to see leadership through a Kingdom lens, sharing powerful stories of women like Esther, Deborah, Mary Magdalene, and modern-day examples who led without status but left a lasting legacy.

If you've ever doubted your influence, this one's for you.

We’re tearing down the lies—“I’m not qualified… I’m not creative… I’m too old…”—and replacing them with truth:

You are a light. You are called. You are a leader.

You'll also hear about faith-rooted tools to help you lead with clarity, stay rooted in truth, and walk boldly in your purpose.

✨ Tune in for encouragement, practical tools, and a Spirit-filled reminder that leadership starts with a willing heart.

Sometimes it doesn’t take a slammed door or shattered pot to know God is moving you on.

Sometimes… the space just starts to feel too small.

The rhythm that once fit starts to pinch.

The voice that once led you now says, “It’s time to go.”

The fig tree in this image isn’t broken.

But look closer—and you’ll see the signs.

The roots are pressing outward. The light is calling.

You haven’t failed.

You’ve grown.
