In this special episode of the HER Podcast, Caleb and Kristin Sampson find themselves on the other side of the conversation—being interviewed by none other than... ChatGPT.

Yep, you read that right. AI is asking the questions. But the answers? 100% real, vulnerable, and sometimes laugh-out-loud funny.

With over 20 years of doing life and ministry together, Caleb and Kristin open up about what they've learned as a couple raising five kids, working side by side in churches and ministry organizations, and growing through both the challenges and joys of it all. From meaningful stories to practical wisdom for couples in ministry, this conversation pulls back the curtain and reminds us that marriage and ministry are both beautiful—and sometimes beautifully messy.

From navigating grief and criticism to raising five children (two in the military!) and learning to love each other through thick and thin, this conversation is raw, relatable, and packed with wisdom for couples, ministers, and anyone seeking to honor God in every season of life.

🎙️ Hosted by ChatGPT, this episode highlights the messy beauty of ministry marriages, how to set boundaries, grow through pain, and embrace new callings with grace.
