In our very first episode of Love U.N.P.L.U.G.G.E.D, we’re kicking things off the only way we know how—authentic, unscripted, a little chaotic, and completely us.

Join Brandie & Steven as we share the real story of how we met, how we fell in love (depending on who you ask…), and how two very different upbringings, two military careers, and a whole lot of God’s grace shaped our marriage.

From the infamous “What’s up with your hair?” introduction…to a dollar-menu date strategy…to a proposal sent over Yahoo Messenger while deployed (yes, really)…we’re taking you all the way back to the beginning.

In this debut conversation, we open up about:
✨ How our friendship and chemistry formed long before the romance
✨ The families, faith backgrounds, and childhood experiences that shaped us
✨ The early missteps, misunderstandings, and hilarious mishaps that became foundation stones
✨ Steven’s healing journey after divorce and how God rebuilt his heart
✨ Brandie’s search for a real relationship with God—and how it led us to center Him in our marriage
✨ Why unity, covenant, and “one flesh” still matter in a culture quick to run from discomfort
✨ The messy, beautiful truth: loving well is harder than leading well

This episode sets the tone for everything Love Unplugged stands for—real conversations, real faith, and real connection. No perfection. No performances. Just two imperfect people choosing each other, choosing God, and choosing to stay united…every single day.

Scripture of the Episode:
Genesis 2:24 — “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.”

We can’t wait to journey with you.
Stay rooted. Stay real. And always unplugged.
