  Praying for you, Jackie! The world so desperately needs women, black women, former members of the 1gbt+ community in ministry, but that definitely opens you up to so many more attacks. May God shield you from those arrows.

  Jackie talking about how marriage &nbsp;is the hardest thing we gotta do so it’s the most sanctifying and it reveals the true state of our true walk was like a 🤯

  Vladimir Savchuk said in Build Fire, this about his marriage: “My wife and I made a conscious decision that our marriage will always be a top priority, and our ministry will flow out of our marriage. Our marriage will not get the leftovers after ministry.” I think this is profound, and an approach we should all follow.

  When Jackie said, in &nbsp;essence, the condition of your marriage could be reflective of the condition of your walk with Christ. That was a profound perspective for me. Thank you.

  Powerful talk. Marriage is undoubtedly the hardest job I have been given in this life, however thru its sufferings has brought me and my husband closest to the Lord. Prayer and seeking God daily is a must for survival. We will celebrate 25 years soon and no way would have made it without Him. All glory to God 🙌

  For those facing divorce watching this...we&apos;ve done counseling, tried therapists, pastors and jesus for myself although he professed Christianity. Our church even sent us to a Family Life conference which by the way was life changing for myself, but felt like i was there alone. Jackie spoke about marriage being the hardest thing you will ever do, leaning into your marriage..i say evaluate what exactly you&apos;re leaning into, as ladies how are you being led...because you&apos;re always being led as married women despite what you may think...if you arent being able to lean into safety and protection, and sin is more rampant than your spouse seeking the Father...your marriage may not be purposeful or designed for you to even be in...dont feel guilty. Surrender to God, he will disciple yourself and your family in His time, he will give you direction and discernment to make hard decisions to glorify your life and his name. Praying for all of us struggling and trapped in marriages that are painful.

  I appreciate men willing and able to disciple other men. As soon as my pastor heard there was a guy I was interested in, he reached out and started discipling him. It was a blessing for our relationship and has been a blessing for our marriage.
