“What our roles are depends on what season we’re in. If we’ve got a bunch of little kids, it’s really hard to be super involved, but if your kids are older, it may be a little easier. Our roles change with seasons. It’s important for church planter wives to recognize that and be encouraged in that. And husbands need to recognize that about their wives and help them recognize what seasons they’re in and how they best can be used in that season.”

“We just involved our kids in all the ministry things that we did, and so they got to see it. We told them, ‘This is what God wants. This is what God has said. This is what the Bible says.’ We were actively showing them those things, not just Mom and Dad saying them.”
