They dive into what it’s looked like to run a ministry together for over a decade, what has anchored their friendship, and how to stay rooted in Scripture through every season of life. Plus, we get a look into their brand new devotional The Bible is For You, and how Advent can be a deeply meaningful season with intentional rhythms.
