Kim Vollendorf
HOST
Kim is the author of Loving Your Husband Before You Even Have One—the book that inspired this podcast. She once owned 13 bridesmaid dresses as a single girl, so she knows what it’s like to navigate singleness with humor and faith. Now happily married to Sean for 28 years and mom to three grown sons, Kim brings perspective and encouragement from both seasons. She’s spent nearly four decades mentoring college women with StuMo and loves helping them grow in confidence and walk closely with God.

Jena Parker
CO-HOST
Jena’s been to more weddings than she can count—17 bridesmaid dresses and a couple of maid-of-honor moments to prove it! She’s felt the same highs and lows of singleness that so many girls do—wrestling with insecurity, loneliness, and waiting—but she’s found something better: the never-stopping, never-giving-up, unbreaking, always-and-forever love of God. For the past 17 years, she’s been mentoring college women with StuMo and loves traveling, working out, drinking coffee, eating sushi, and being “Aunt Neenie” to her three nieces.

She loves to get to the root of making something practical and is still figuring it out right with you, maybe just a few years ahead!

What Kind of Relationship Do You Want?
Culture’s Way
Keep doing what everyone else is doing in relationships and cross your fingers, hoping that your relationship will somehow beat the dismal odds of having a great marriage.
God’s Way
Be willing to learn what makes an enjoyable, lasting relationship and start developing the necessary skills so that you’ll increase your odds of having a great marriage.

“Over the years I’ve seen a lot of marriages fall apart, and I’ve cried alongside many women… I have found that broken marriages are hard to repair, so I began mentoring young women to prepare the future ones… While there is no magic formula or checklist that guarantees a perfect relationship, I am convinced that there are some things a girl can do to increase her odds for an enjoyable, lasting marriage, even before she has one. ”
