Marriage, Ministry & Mental Health: Jess Quak on Faith in the Middle of the Mess

Jess is the best! Doing life and ministry alongside her has been one of the greatest gifts of my life — and in this episode, you’ll hear why.

Together, we reflect on what it’s like to co-lead a church, raise a family, and follow the Spirit together in the messiness of real life. From leadership lessons to behind-the-scenes stories, this is a vulnerable and joy-filled look at what it means to do ministry as a team.
