Hi Reader,
Every leader has a backstory. And some of the most powerful ones aren’t just about leadership—they’re about marriage, money, conflict, and calling.
Last episode, Ashley Wooldridge shared how Christ’s Church of the Valley became one of the fastest-growing churches in America. But today? Ashley’s back—this time with his wife, Jamie—for one of the most raw, honest conversations we’ve ever had about marriage. (It all works out, but if you've been there, you will be able to fully relate.)
We talk about everything: fighting over money while making six figures, how their marriage almost didn’t survive the first few years, how they worked through intimacy and power struggles—and how they discovered radical generosity as the turning point in their lives and leadership.
If you're a married leader, a young couple trying to figure things out, or someone wondering how to steward both calling and relationship… don’t miss this one.
Best news? I've spent some time with Ashley and Jaime in real life, and they are two of the kindest people you would ever want to meet. There's hope for all of us. And that's great news.
P.S. If you missed Ashley’s solo episode last week on leadership and exponential growth at one of American's largest and fastest growing churches, catch up here. You’ll want the full story.
