In this episode of the Marriage After God podcast, Aaron Smith talks with Heath Hardesty, a pastor, husband, and father who shares his journey from plumbing to ministry. Heath discusses what it means to live an integrated faith—where every part of life, from family to work, reflects a relationship with Jesus.

They explore apprenticeship to Christ as a daily practice of gentleness, prayer, and presence, and the importance of lament and joy in the Christian life. Heath’s book All Things Together invites believers to weave faith through every aspect of their marriages, families, and communities.
