Welcome to the (Not) Common Sense Podcast!In this episode we talk about Jess' story. Filled with broken dreams, chronic pain, how it affects loved ones and God's grace.

This is a tough episode. We pray it helps others. This podcast is dedicated as an honest exploration of our journey with Jesus as a married couple and individually.We dive into Jesus' way of life and the truth He taught. Join us in an evolving journey to follow and be obedient to God, as we try to make sense of the (not) common sense truth He teaches us.#notcommonsensepodcastFollow us here:https://linktr.ee/jessieandjoshhttps://www.instagram.com/notcommonsense_podcast/ https://www.tiktok.com/@jessieandjoshhttps://open.spotify.com/show/2W6ke2aB1JPzk6z12lO034?si=73915e3308914800Donate:https://ko-fi.com/jessieandjosh
