In this episode, Brenda sits down with Shannon Deane to discuss her experience and role as her husband Andy (Cornerstone Community Church) transitioned to the role of lead pastor right before the COVID pandemic of 2020. She shares some of the challenges, identity shifts, and spiritual growth that came with learning to support her husband while discovering her own place in the life of this church. Her story offers honest insight and encouragement for anyone walking through a season of change in ministry.

We pray that this conversation encourages you to continue to lead with humility and transparency by the filling and empowerment of the Spirit.
