Description
On this episode of the Authentic Marriage Podcast, Brooke sits down with Allesha Childress, wife, mother, and cofounder of Rock Bottom Hope, a ministry she leads alongside her husband, Danny, to bring hope and support to individuals and families affected by addiction. Allesha joins Brooke for an honest conversation about marriage, personality differences, priorities, and the importance of creating space for the people and things that matter most.
The conversation explores the importance of understanding your spouse’s needs and making intentional space for one another. Allesha shares how she balances her need for solitude with a full schedule and reminds us that sometimes we can miss the great things God has placed in front of us because we fill our calendars with too many good things.
Brooke and Allesha also discuss how our calendar and bank account often reveal what we truly prioritize. They encourage couples to be intentional about making room for their marriage, family, and time with the Lord instead of allowing busyness to take over.
Another important part of the conversation is learning not to assume our spouse’s intentions. Before reacting with anger or frustration, we can pause, ask questions, and seek to understand. Giving our spouse the benefit of the doubt can create greater communication, grace, and unity.
The conversation closes with a discussion about walking alongside someone struggling with addiction and how to offer support without trying to control their journey. Through Rock Bottom Hope, Danny and Allesha help individuals and families find hope and support through difficult seasons.
