022: Supporting a Spouse Who Works Tons of Hours While Planting a Church

September 06, 2021 • Loren and Carrie Pankratz • Episode 22

How do I support my spouse, who works long hours at her job while we are planting a church? This was a question asked of Loren and Carrie that they didn't have a chance to answer. While everyone's situation is different, Carrie and Loren had an experience where Carrie went from being a stay-at-home mom to working 60 hours a week. In this episode, they talk about how they worked through the challenges of sharing duties around the home, learning to communicate, and supporting one another emotionally and spiritually. As two domestically challenged people, they had a lot to work through.
