Corder Cast: Standing Firm in Today's Culture
The Corder Cast aims to foster transparency, authenticity, and honesty in discussions about family, marriage, and parenting. We believe that these relationships are not random but intricately designed by a Designer, forming the foundation of our society. Through candid conversations, we explore the question: Can there be value or even "richness" in the midst of the painful struggle of staying and standing firm in these relationships?
Our podcast features diverse perspectives, with ages ranging from 19 to 58, providing a multi-generational view on these essential aspects of life. We're committed to sharing stories, insights, and lessons learned, acknowledging that every family and marriage is unique, yet united by the common thread of a divine design. Join us as we navigate the complexities of these relationships, seeking wisdom and understanding in the pursuit of stronger, more fulfilling connections.

Todd & Jennifer Gerelds: Grace for the Hard Days (Part 1)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week on The Corder Cast, we’re joined by our dear friends Todd and Jennifer Gerelds—and y’all, this one is a ride. From an awkward double date (their roommates hated each other) to journal entries on night one that said “I’m gonna marry this person,” their story is full of sweet moments, surprising turns, and some really honest reflections on marriage, identity, and faith.
We talk about what it means to “Slay the Me Monster” in real life—especially when you’re dealing with expectations, disappointment, and the quiet kind of pride that sneaks in unnoticed. Todd shares his struggle with depression and chasing approval, while Jennifer opens up about the hidden pressure to have it all together.
It's real, it's funny, it's encouraging—and it’s only part one.
