Episode Details

Martha: When Jim & I were 13 we committed our lives to full-time Christian Ministry.  So naturally I thought I would be a pastor’s wife or a missionary. 

Jim: I thought I was going to be a youth pastor.   

Martha: When we got married, I naturally thought that ministry was in our future. 

Jim: Martha was right about that.  But we were both wrong about the location of our ministry. We kept thinking we were headed for church ministry.  

Martha: But Jim and I are both good at business and we ran an insurance agency. We didn’t know our ministry was right there in front of us. We treated people well.  

Jim: But we never saw it as a ministry. In fact, no one ever spoke into our lives that we could have a ministry in our workplace. 

Martha: But we were in ministry and our workplace ministry calling perfectly matched our God given gifts, talents, and abilities.
