In this episode, we sit down with the radiant and deeply authentic Renee McKinney, who has spent the last 21 years serving in ministry with her husband, Justin — a worship pastor, college professor, and (formerly) not-so-great singer… until God stepped in. Their story is full of the kinds of miracles you write down so you never forget: unexpected provision, supernatural spiritual gifts, and transformation that can only be explained by heaven’s fingerprints.
Renee opens up about the ups, downs, and “are we seriously doing this, Lord?” moments of ministry life — from raising three teenagers who serve right alongside them, to navigating spiritual warfare, to learning the beauty of obedience even when God’s path looks nothing like the plan.
You’ll hear how God literally rewrote Justin’s vocal cords, how Renee began receiving timely prophetic words for specific people at exactly the right moments, and why humility, honesty, and community matter more than polished perfection. Her stories will strengthen your faith and remind you that God still moves in ways we cannot explain.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by calling, unsure about spiritual gifts, or tempted to put ministry families on a pedestal — this conversation will meet you right where you are.
