About The Podcast
Jeremy Simmons thought he had everything—he had a fast-paced career, he was “planting” a new church, he had a successful wife and two beautiful daughters. But when his marriage fell apart, he says he felt “like I was watching the towers of my life fall down around me.” Moving back in with his parents and starting over was a humbling experience, but when he stopped trying to control everything and just let God carry him, Jeremy saw a glimmer of hope. Now remarried with a big blended family and working an exciting career in the healthcare industry, Jeremy has learned a lot from his experience—and in this week’s podcast with Nate Dewberry, he’s eager to share it with our listeners.

Along the way, he learned a great deal about maturity, manhood, and the sacrifices we must make to be truly transformed by the Holy Spirit.
How to Break the Cycle of Dysfunction
When Jake met his future wife, he describes the two of them as “two trainwrecks” who endured a long period of dysfunction because they’d simply never learned to relate to each other on a deeper level. Then Jake’s wife found a church, and a church family—and eventually he realized he needed to undertake a spiritual journey of his own if their marriage was to survive.
