Where Love Gets Real

Picture this: a couple sitting across from each other, laughing at inside jokes, exchanging knowing glances, and sharing stories about the highs and lows of their 16-year marriage and 21-year relationship. That’s Michael and Jodi—your guides to navigating the wild, wonderful, and sometimes messy world of relationships. Welcome to Living Outlandish, the podcast where love gets real, growth gets bold, and conversations get downright inspiring.

How It All Started

The idea for Living Outlandish didn’t just come out of thin air—it came from real-life friends, the ones who saw something special in Michael and Jodi’s dynamic and said, “You two should share this with the world.” As seasoned marriage coaches, the duo knew they had something valuable to offer: advice, stories, and lessons they’d learned while helping others build stronger relationships.

But it wasn’t just about the advice. Living Outlandish became a project that brought Michael and Jodi closer, giving them quality time to work together and a platform to inspire couples everywhere to create relationships worth fighting for.

What’s the Mission?

At its heart, Living Outlandish is about proving that relationships can thrive, even in the face of challenges. It’s about showing that teamwork, trust, and determination can turn even the toughest seasons into stories of growth and love.

Michael and Jodi want to inspire couples to embrace their unique love stories, fight for their marriages, and create partnerships that last a lifetime.

The Outlandish Difference

So, what makes Living Outlandish stand out from every other relationship podcast out there? It’s all about their B.O.L.D. and R.E.A.L. approach.
•B.O.L.D.: Brave, Open, Loving, Determined.
•R.E.A.L.: Respectful, Encouraging, Authentic, Loving.

These aren’t just catchy acronyms—they’re guiding principles. Michael and Jodi don’t sugarcoat things or give cookie-cutter advice. Instead, they dive into the nitty-gritty of what it takes to thrive in love, covering topics like:
•Navigating blended families.
•Dealing with external pressures on your relationship.
•Balancing finances, family, and intimacy.
•Managing friendships when you’re in a committed relationship.

A Dynamic Duo with Real Experience

Michael and Jodi aren’t just talking the talk—they’re walking the walk. Married for 16 years, they’ve navigated the complexities of blending families and raising children while maintaining their own relationship.

Michael’s 23 years of ministry experience, including 6 years as a senior pastor, and his DISC certification, combined with Jodi’s insight and warmth, make them a powerhouse team. Together, they’ve coached couples for over a decade, helping them find hope, healing, and happiness.
