Episode 6 - Q&A with Jordan and Jessica Rice 

In this final episode of Real Love Conversations, host Jessica Rice is joined by Jordan Rice, her husband, and Renaissance Church’s lead pastor. Jordan and Jessica have a unique love story - both were married in their 20’s to different people, and both lost their spouses in their 20’s. In this episode, Jordan and Jessica share their stories of loss, of taking steps to date and hope again, and what it was like when they first met and later decided to get married. In the second half of this episode, they answer questions they received from listeners about dating, being married to a widowed person, and maintaining connection in a marriage as two people grow and change. 

Real Love Conversations is a special collection of interviews released in conjunction with Renaissance Church’s Real Love sermon series. As we talk about how our relationships can thrive according to God’s model and direction, we’re also taking the opportunity to hear about diverse relationship experiences from some of the people who make up the Renaissance community. It’s going to get real!
