Description
🌿 Cleave: The Podcast
We’re Jon & Ashley Lefrandt. Cleave is a faith-centered podcast about marriage, boundaries, family systems, healing, and holding fast to truth.
As followers of Christ, we talk honestly about leaving unhealthy patterns and cleaving to God, your spouse, your covenants, and what is true — especially when family pressure, manipulation, spiritual confusion, or relational pain make that difficult.
We explore Christlike boundaries, forgiveness, reconciliation, emotional safety, and generational healing.
