What if serving your local church together could transform your marriage, clarify your calling, and ignite a movement beyond Sunday? We open up about the unexpected path from kids’ check-in and security shifts to leading couples, preaching through grief, and accepting a pastoral mantle we never planned to wear. Along the way, we share the uncomfortable lessons—performing versus being real, loving people who don’t love you back, and setting boundaries so your family remains your first ministry.

Our story doesn’t stop at the platform. A family loss birthed a bolder voice, a weekly “Wednesday Word,” and a growing burden for pastoral leadership. The church became a training ground where Spartners—our mission to help spouses build together—was discovered, developed, and deployed. Then came a harder truth: silent disobedience. We were doing good, God-honoring work while quietly neglecting the very assignment He gave us to carry. Realignment meant stepping away from roles we loved to scale our impact globally while staying rooted locally.

You’ll hear practical frameworks to serve without burning out: how to share a schedule, keep joint and personal prayer rhythms, create healthy limits that point people to Jesus, and protect intimacy when the weight of ministry follows you home. We talk theology and practice—being salt and light beyond Sunday, embracing pastoral covering and accountability, and choosing authenticity over polish so God can bless the real you. If you’ve wondered how faith, marriage, and entrepreneurship can align without tearing you apart, this conversation offers honest guidance and hard-won hope.
