Ministry & Marriage | Toby Anderson

What does it take to build a healthy marriage that lasts? In this leadership talk, Pastor Toby Anderson shares practical wisdom from his marriage to Shannon and what they’ve learned through years of ministry, parenting, miscarriages, family loss, and difficult seasons. Through it all, Romans 15:13 has been an anchor: the God of hope is able to fill us with joy and peace as we trust Him. A strong marriage starts with a strong friendship. Keep pursuing each other. Make Jesus the center. Worship together. Stay in community. Communicate about what’s ahead. Guard each other’s hearts. Be accountable. Serve each other with joy. And never give your spouse the leftovers after pouring everything you have into everyone else. Marriage rarely falls apart because of one massive collision. Usually, there is a drift before there is a ditch. Pay attention to what is happening at home. Never make ministry gains at the expense of your marriage. Win at home. Be present. Honor your spouse publicly. Keep dating. Keep flirting. Keep having fun together. Keep showing up. You aren’t called to be the hero of your marriage. You’re called to be faithful. “If you want something different, do something different.” “A black belt is just a white belt that kept showing up.” 📖 Romans 15:13
