Your Joyful Order With Leslie Martinez

Apr 17 2024 • 1 hr 16 mins

When my husband, Steve, and I tied the knot, we also joined forces in a 22-year ministry journey that has been anything but ordinary. Join me & Steve as we share the laughter and the tears that have paved the road of our life in service to others. From boisterous Facebook Live sales to the quiet, impactful moments that happen behind closed doors, our ministry goes beyond church walls, encompassing community involvement and meaningful everyday encounters. This episode is a heartfelt reflection on our shared path, a candid look at the joys, challenges, and lessons learned as we've embraced the call to serve with authenticity and joy.

Balancing church commitments with the demands of family life is a tightrope walk that has seen us stumble and soar. In this episode, we share personal stories of prioritizing our children over church duties, finding humor in parenting missteps, and making tough decisions to step back from church positions for the sake of our family. Celebrating the beauty and lessons of children’s ministry, we discuss how service has been seamlessly stitched into the fabric of our family life, ensuring our kids grow with an understanding of faith, service, and love. Join us for an honest conversation that promises to resonate with anyone who seeks to navigate the intersection of faith, service, and family with grace and laughter.
