How we approach our ministers matters to God as does their calling to lay down their lives for the church. There are many situations that have increased the tension felt by ministers and members. Wade joins the channel to discuss a minister's perspective and how to best approach difficult issues with your minister. Originally from Colorado, Wade is a recent transplant to San Diego where he is serving the Pomerado Region of the San Diego Church of Christ. He was baptized in 1987 off the campus of CU boulder and was blessed to have spent all but two of those years in Denver. Wade married the love of his life, Debbie Davis, in 1992. They love their three adult daughters McKenzie, Chandler and Alexis; all of whom are growing in their own walk with God as faithful disciples! Wade and Debbie went into the ministry in 1990 and served 24 years for the Denver Church of Christ where they were appointed an Evangelist and Women’s Ministry leader in 2000 and Wade as an Elder in 2017.
