Be On the Same Page

About this episode

Chuck Wood II and Pheaney discuss the importance of being on the same page with your spouse in ministry.

Chuck Wood II and I chat about a really, really important topic in ministry: Being on the same page with your spouse. Quotes : * If we have active disagreement, we at least know where we stand. But if we have passive indifference… that can lead to a whole lot of other things that never get dealt with.” * “When you’re single, you just throw your gear in the back of the Humvee and take off. But when you’re married, it’s like getting on a C-130—you don’t just throw your stuff in; you latch it down.” * “If you’re in ministry as a family, that doesn’t mean that everybody’s going to do the same things.” * “Different is not bad. Different is actually good.” * “Live with your spouse in an understanding way—that requires listening, not just trying to vision-cast.” Season 9: On Pioneering/How to Stick, Episode 16 This is a public episode.
