The Fortitude Podcast

Hello, and welcome to The Fortitude Podcast. We’re your hosts, Micah and Sarah. You may know us from TikTok or Instagram (@micahandsarahhh) but we are coming to the podcast space to talk about life experiences that have tested and strengthened us and built our fortitude – the strength of mind that enables a person to encounter danger or bear pain or adversity with courage.
Every Tuesday we have conversations with each other, our friends, and we answer your questions about relationships, faith, mentality, trauma, healing – ultimately all the things in life that make up the human experience! When you’re in a tough season, it is so important to know that you’re not alone and you are capable of making it to the other side.
Join us each week as we share personal stories that will help you to feel encouraged, learn to stay hopeful, and most importantly, fill you with a little more fortitude.

Amanda McNeil: Counselor, Author, Scholar, Wife, Mother...How our Understanding of God's Character shapes how we experience grief, How to walk well with friends who are grieving, PLUS a bit on the identity crisis of becoming parents. Jul 22, 2025

Show notes

Amanda McNeil and her husband Justin had been integral figures in Micah's and my life. They are our counselors, they are our friends, they are people we respect as spouses, parents, and more importantly, humans. Amanda is not only scholastically qualified when it comes to the ins and outs of grief but personally qualified because of her story and what she's gone through. Whether you've experienced grief or not this is a powerful conversation that will get you thinking about how you see God, which in our experience is the fruit from which everything in our life flows. We pray this conversation blesses you!

Show notes

Mary Marantz is the bestselling author of Dirt, Slow Growth Equals Strong Roots, and now, Underestimated! We learned SO MUCH from her in our conversation about how to name and stop the cycles of fear that hold us back from all God has for us. We get into topics such as why boredom can lead to breakthrough, how our brain can accurately predict our odds of success based on past experiences, and how we can CHANGE that experience to up those odds. Get out a notepad for this one because Mary gives tons of tangible tips that can be applied no matter where you're at in your journey!
