About This Podcast

The Family Fortitude podcast is dedicated to couples and individuals endeavoring to raise children and forge families in a culture that otherwise has a meandering set of values and standards. Family Fortitude is hosted by husband and wife duo, Lonnie and Gionne Marts, who share nuggets and wisdom from over three decades of parenting experience. They are passionate about seeing the family unit strengthened and restored, and while they never claim to be the perfect parents they have learned a few things walking with Jesus and partnering with Him to parent their equally imperfect kiddos.
