  • Alongside: A Ministry to Ministry Wives

    Alongside: A Ministry to Ministry Wives
    Jul 11 2022

    Episode 48- There are plenty of resources for Church Planters and Pastors. There are not so many for the wife of the planter. In this episode, Carrie and Loren talk to Coletta Smith of Alongside Ministries. Coletta started Alongside intending to minister to pastors' wives to help them partner with their husbands and view it as a family calling, not just "his gig." 

    Alongside ministers to pastors' wives in several ways. The most significant growth that she sees happens in the free cohorts. These cohorts are led by trained coaches, who guide participants through a series of conversations. These conversations help participants see their ministry in a new light and build relationships with others who understand.

    Carrie is one of the Alongside coaches because she believes strongly in this ministry. If you would like to join a cohort or to see what other resources they have to offer, visit the  Alongside website at www.alongsideministrywives.com

    Don't forget to sign up for the mailing list to receive great resources and be the first to know when their podcast launches this fall.

  • Evaluating Criticism of Your Church Plant

    Evaluating Criticism of Your Church Plant
    Jun 27 2022

    Episode 47- In church planting, you will find that not everyone likes your ideas or how you do things. And, to be honest, you may not always know. Therefore, it may be essential to have a thick skin because you will face much criticism in church planting. In this episode, Loren lays out three questions that he asks himself each time he hears criticism. 

    1. Is this just a matter of taste? 
    2. Is it a difference in strategy or vision
    3. Is it clear in scripture?

    The first two don’t need to beat you up, but the third should cause you to question and potentially make a change. The gospel is vital in our lives to admit where we are failing, repent, and move forward. 

    Carrie lays out her perspective on dealing with criticism and how she and Loren have learned to handle it better in their relationship. She also talks about how criticism can help us grow. It is part of the sanctification process.

Relaxed and Candid

I love that these two REAL and wonderful people(still married and in love) would care to share such valuable experience. I love their sweetness, depth and humility amid giggles and cheesy jokes. I love them to bits. Don’t be fooled, these two are definitely worth their weight in heavenly gold. Thank you for the wealth of experience you both. Share here.
