Hello, and welcome to The Fortitude Podcast. We're your hosts, Micah and Sarah. You may know us from TikTok or Instagram (@micahandsarahhh) but we are coming to the podcast space to talk about life experiences that have tested and strengthened us and built our fortitude – the strength of mind that enables a person to encounter danger or bear pain or adversity with courage.  Every Tuesday we have conversations with each other, our friends, and we answer your questions about  relationships, faith, mentality, trauma, healing - ultimately all the things in life that make up the human experience! When you're in a tough season, it is so important to know that you're not alone and you are capable of making it to the other side. Join us each week as we share personal stories that will help you to feel encouraged, learn to stay hopeful, and most importantly, fill you with a little more fortitude.

Amanda McNeil: Counselor, Author, Scholar, Wife, Mother...How our Understanding of God's Character shapes how we experience grief, How to walk well with friends who are grieving, PLUS a bit on the identity crisis of becoming parents.
Amanda McNeil and her husband Justin had been integral figures in Micah's and my life. They are our counselors, they are our friends, they are people we respect as spouses, parents, and more importantly, humans. Amanda is not only scholastically qualified when it comes to the ins and outs of grief but personally qualified because of her story and what she's gone through. Whether you've experienced grief or not this is a powerful conversation that will get you thinking about how you see God, which in our experience is the fruit from which everything in our life flows. We pray this conversation blesses you!

Cost n' Mayor on Locking down together during Covid after only a few weeks of dating, how social media has effected their dance careers, and an insider scoop on their new Off-Broadway show 11 to Midnight | Ep. 64
We have been DYING to meet Cost n' Mayor for years now, so we were so excited about this conversation! They are just as fun, genuine, and hilarious as you'd think they'd be. We had a ball chatting about the beginnings of their relationship, show business, working with your spouse, their Off-Broadway show that's in the works, balloons (you gotta watch the video to fully appreciate that last one!) and so much more. If you're looking for a mood booster, this conversation is the one for you!

Katherine Wolf on how joy and suffering can coexist, truly wrestling with God's plan, and owning your story. | Ep. 63

At just 26 years old—only six months after the birth of her first son—Katherine suffered a massive brain stem stroke that radically altered the course of her life. She shares about her ongoing journey of recovery, the role of mindset in facing life’s hardest moments, and how she’s learned to hold both pain and purpose at the same time.Katherine’s story is marked by unimaginable challenges, but even more so by resilience, faith, and a kind of joy that emerges through suffering. Come hang with us - we hope you leave as encouraged as we were!

Prioritizing Dating After Marriage- Some of our favorite dates, how we did it with little money and little time, and why every date doesn't need to be a "whole big thing" | Ep. 62
This week we are talking about dating in marriage. Now that we are parents, it has become more important to us than ever to prioritize moments that are focused on the building of our marriage. We have dated in seasons of minimal time, minimal money, minimal privacy...all three at the same time lol and we get into some of the practical ways we kept it a priority no matter what our circumstances brought. We also chat some of our most memorable dates, some of our simplest dates and why we consider a walk with our son in tow to be one of our current favorite "date moments".
