Tried by Fire is a podcast born out of real loss, long seasons of pain, and the faithfulness of God in the middle of it all. Through personal stories, conversations with my wife, and the voices of others who’ve walked through suffering, we explore how God remains faithful when life doesn’t make sense. This podcast isn’t about quick fixes or perfect endings. It’s about honesty, perseverance, and hope grounded in who God is.Benjamin and Ruth Buckland Christianity Spirituality

    Jun 1 2026

    Conflict is inevitable in every marriage, but how you handle it can either build stronger connections or create deeper division. In this episode, Benjamin and Ruth share lessons they've learned through years of misunderstandings, differing communication styles, resentment, counseling, and healing. Together they discuss active listening, navigating difficult conversations, breaking down emotional walls, and learning to approach conflict as a problem to solve together rather than a battle to win. Whether you're newly married or have been together for years, this conversation offers practical tools and biblical encouragement for healthier communication and stronger relationships.
