In this special and deeply personal episode, I sit down with my husband to talk about his lifelong calling to ministry, his heart for children, and the unexpected journey that led him to write a children’s book inspired by his role as a security monitor at a local elementary school.

Having spent nearly his entire adult life in ministry—teaching children, leading youth, and pastoring through two church plants—his work has always centered around guiding, protecting, and encouraging young hearts. In this conversation, we reflect on how those years in ministry naturally prepared him for serving children outside the church walls and how everyday moments in a school setting sparked the inspiration for his new children’s book.

We talk about faith, calling, transitions, and what it looks like to live out purpose in unconventional ways. This episode is for parents, educators, ministry leaders, and anyone navigating a season of change while still wanting to make a meaningful impact on children’s lives.
