Resilience isn’t built in comfort—it’s formed in the fire. In this episode, host Christine Caine sits down with her longtime friend and pastor, Holly Wagner, for a deeply personal and hope-filled conversation on longevity in leadership, lasting friendships, and staying true to your calling through every season. From pioneering ministry in Los Angeles to transitioning leadership after 35 years, Holly shares wisdom forged through grief, betrayal, church hurt, and hard-won joy. If you’ve ever felt burned out, bitter, or ready to give up, this conversation will remind you that perseverance is worth it—and that leadership rooted in Jesus will always bear fruit.

The Power of Lifelong Friendship
