Description

The No Fruit Podcast explores relationships and everyday life through the perspectives of husband-and-wife co-hosts Maurice and Kafi Chism.

Our conversations cover marriage, parenting, dating, faith, finances, and personal growth. We examine the expectations people bring into relationships, the choices that shape life together, and the questions worth discussing more honestly.

There is room for laughter, reflection, and different points of view. Bring your own experiences to the conversation and consider what you might see differently.

So, join @mauricedchismsr and @kafi_chism in this ever-growing discussion about life, love and everything in between!
