Sunday Morning WorshipWhen the Word Drives Ours Worship - Colossians 3:16Reagan FarrisJuly 19, 2026Notes | https://calvarydothan.com/wp-content/uploads/2026_07_19_1.pdf
Sermon Outline: "A Table in the Wilderness" Preacher: Pastor Rhonda Davis I. Introduction: The Accusation of Unbelief The Wilderness Setting: Written by King David's chief musician Asaph, Psalm 78 serves as a historical reminder of Israel's behavioral cycles in the desert. Fresh out of Egyptian deliverance—having witnessed the ten plagues, the parting of the Red Sea, and being physically guided by pillars of cloud and fire—the people began to bitterly complain against God a mere three days into their journey. An Honest Question vs. An Accusation: In Psalm 78:19, the people ask, "Can God really prepare a table in the wilderness?" Pastor Rhonda noted that the word really transforms a seemingly innocent question into a toxic accusation dressed up as reason. It is the phrase used when a human heart has already decided the answer is "no," waiting around only to prove its own doubt correct. Covenant Over Anger: Despite their rebellion, God did not slam the door or cancel His covenant. Instead, He commanded the skies to open and rained down manna—the food of angels. God systematically spread a feast in front of the very people who were whispering against Him in their tents the night before. The Three Divine Tables Pastor Rhonda unpacked the three distinct tables God establishes throughout biblical history: 1. The Table for the Doubters (The Wilderness Table) The Purpose of the Table: The wilderness table is never a structural reward for individuals who possess perfect, unwavering faith. It is a table of pure grace, deliberately established right in the middle of your human doubting. The Goodness that Pulls: Relying on Romans 2:4, it is the unmerited goodness of God—not His anger—that gently leads broken, derailed, or disappointed individuals into true repentance. The Commitment of God: God remains infinitely more committed to your ultimate destiny than your lingering doubt is committed to keeping you away from His presence. As highlighted in Psalm 78:38-39, He stays full of compassion, frequently holds back His anger, and remembers that human beings are fragile, temporary flesh. 2. The Table for the Enemies (The Battlefield Table) The Blinded Army at Dothan: In 2 Kings 6, the King of Syria surrounded the prophet Elisha at Dothan with a massive host of horses and iron chariots. When Elisha's servant panicked, shouting, "What shall we do?", Elisha uttered the historic reality: "Don't be afraid. Those who are with us are more than those with them." The Spiritual Sight Shift: Elisha did not pray for his servant's natural eyes, but for his spiritual eyes to be opened. Instantly, the young man saw the surrounding mountains packed with the fiery chariots of God's angelic hosts. A Feast Instead of a Sword: After praying for God to strike the Syrian army with blindness, Elisha boldly walked into their ranks and led them directly into the capital city of Samaria. When the King of Israel eagerly asked, "Shall I kill them?", Elisha commanded him to serve them a massive feast of comfort food and water instead. The Victory of Mercy: This exact battlefield feast provides the historical background for Psalm 23:5 ("Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies"). It was not the edge of a sword that permanently stopped the Syrian invasions—it was an overwhelming act of covenant mercy. Pastoral Application on Stiff-Arming: Pastor Rhonda paused the message to deliver a deep word on forgiveness and breaking internal chains (Psalm 44:21). True forgiveness does not excuse the offender; it releases the victim from an emotional prison. She shared a transparent personal testimony of a spiritual son and backup worship leader who left her ministry years prior. Though she smiled outwardly, she spent years "stiff-arming" him to protect her own heart from being hurt again. After her late husband confronted her behavior, she broke down at the altar, embraced the man, repented of her coldness, and unlocked a deep, ongoing fellowship that persists to this day. 3. The Ultimate Table (The Salvation Table) Crushing the Enemy's Head: The framework for the final table was established in Genesis 3, where God promised that the seed of the woman would eventually crush the head of the serpent. Because Satan acutely understands this legal decree, he target-attacks human families with desperation and fear. Spread While We Were Rebellious: Reading from Romans 5:6-8, Christ did not wait for humanity to surrender, perfect their theology, or clean up their lives. He set out the bread and wine of the ultimate table at Calvary while we were actively operating as His lifestyle enemies. The Table of Communion: At the Last Supper, Jesus willingly broke bread, dipped from the same cup, and washed the feet of Judas Iscariot—the very man orchestrating His betrayal. He fully established a table in the literal presence of His enemy. Conclusion: The Mandate of the Church Jesus Is Better: Moving into corporate communion, Pastor Rhonda echoed the foundational theme of the Book of Hebrews: Jesus is structurally better than legalism, religion, and all earthly material goods. He is the express image of the living God. Prophetic Prophecy Declared: During a prolonged moment of corporate worship, a prophetic word was delivered over the room: “I have not brought you this far to leave you, says the Lord. You are hidden in the hollow of My hands, and I am preparing you to move like an arrow shot from a bow at the right time. You are the ones called to set My tables of mercy in the wilderness of this world.” The River in the Desert: Standing across the sanctuary, the congregation applied Isaiah 43:18-19, commanding all spiritual squatters of doubt to leave, completely releasing old bitterness against parents, employers, or former spouses, and taking communion with a fresh, childlike awareness of Christ's healing power. Scripture Index Here are the primary scriptures read, cited, or expounded upon during the service: Psalm 78:19 > "Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish [prepare] a table in the wilderness?" Romans 5:6-8 > "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly... But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners [enemies], Christ died for us." Romans 2:4 (Referenced) – Knowing that the goodness of God leads human beings to repentance. Psalm 78:38-39 > "But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away... For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again." 2 Kings 6:16-17 > "And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha." Deuteronomy 31:6 (Referenced) – Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, He it is that doth go with thee. 2 Chronicles 32:7 (Referenced) – Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him. Psalm 23:5 > "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over." Psalm 44:21 (Referenced) – Shall not God search this out? For He knoweth the secrets of the heart. Revelation 3:20 > "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." Isaiah 43:18-19 > "Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert." Numbers 6:24-26 (The Benediction) > "The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace."

Daily Dose of Hope July 8, 2026 Scripture: 2 Kings 6 Prayer: Holy God, We rejoice and give praise for the ways you care for us. We rejoice and give praise for how you continue to forgive us and give us second and third chances. Help us seek lives characterized by your holiness. Help us seek pure hearts. Lord, in these next few moments of silence, hear our prayers and help us bring together all our scattered thoughts and focus on you...It's in your name we pray, Amen. Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily Bible reading plan. We are currently working our way through 2 Kings. Today, our reading is 2 Kings 6. In this chapter, we see God continue to do miracles through the prophet Elisha. It appears that Elisha has developed a much more amicable relationship with the king of Israel. When Aram went to war with Israel, Elisha used his prophetic skills to warn the king of Israel when harm was eminent so he could be on guard. Not surprisingly, this frustrated the king of Aram who suspected he had a spy in his ranks. But one of his officers knew that it was in fact Elisha who was providing the king of Israel with the information he needed to protect himself. Thus, the army of Aram is sent to capture Elisha. Later in the chapter, the army of Aram has surrounded the town of Dothan, where Elisha was living in order to capture him. Elisha prays to the Lord, asking for the army to be struck with blindness and God does it. This allows Elisha to lead the army out of Dothan and into Samaria. Once in Samaria, the soldiers' sight returns. The king of Israel asks Elisha if the men should be killed. But Elisha wants to show them mercy, so the king feeds them and sends them back home. Some reflections from today's text: · When in doubt, show mercy. God is a merciful God. We are called to be merciful people. · Err on the side of grace. We've been shown immense grace; let's be sure to demonstrate it toothers. · Believe that God is on your side. Your God loves you and wants the best for you. Trust in that. Blessings, Pastor Vicki
In this Bible Story, we learn of Naaman's new found love for God and desire to bless the people of God. However, Elisha's servant Gehazi's heart changes for the worse, as he descends into a cycle of greed and treachery. This story is inspired by 2 Kings 5:15-27. Go to https://www.BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is 2 Kings 5:27 from the King James Version.Episode 134: Israel was at war once again, this time against the King of Aram. However, the God of Israel, who knows all, would inform Elisha of what the King of Aram was planning and Elisha would, in turn, inform his King. This constant outmaneuvering irritated the King of Aram and he sent soldiers to hunt for Elisha. When the army of Aram arrived at Dothan they surrounded Elisha and his servant. But Elisha was unafraid because He could see the armies of heaven surrounding the armies of Aram. So he prayed and God delivered the men of Aram into Samaria, the land of their enemy. But instead of bloodshed, they were given a feast, and God's mercy was revealed to the nations.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

A @Christadelphians Video: **Description:**In this thought-provoking and wonderfully expositional study, we continue our journey through Genesis 37, tracing one of Scripture's darkest descents—and its most revealing hope. The coat of many colours moves from Joseph's shoulders to Jacob's hands, torn and bloodied. Between the coat and the blood lies a pit without water, a price paid in silver, and a silent figure who prefigures the suffering of our Lord.This insightful presentation uncovers how the beloved son, sent by his father to seek his brethren's peace, finds hatred, conspiracy, and rejection. Yet God is not absent in the darkness. What looks like Joseph's ruin becomes the beginning of salvation, and the pit becomes the road to Egypt—and to the throne.Join us as we explore the stunning typology of Joseph as a shadow of Christ, the hidden hand of God at Dothan, and the three urgent lessons that rise from the pit for every believer today. Outstanding and revealing—this is Genesis as you've never seen it.**Chapters:**00:00 – Introduction: The Coat Leaves, the Pit Awaits 01:23 – The Father Sends His Beloved Son (Genesis 37:13-14) 04:35 – Shechem: Promise, Shame, and Joseph's Future Portion 07:57 – Wandering in the Field: The Mysterious Stranger 10:45 – “What Seekest Thou?” – The Heart of Joseph's Mission 12:36 – Dothan: Two Wells, Invisible Armies, and God's Presence 15:44 – Conspiracy: “Behold, the Dreamer Cometh” 18:58 – The Master of Dreams vs The Master of Arrows 20:46 – The Pit: Murder Without a Blade 23:50 – Stripped and Cast Down: A Picture of Calvary 27:44 – They Sat Down to Eat Bread: The Cruelty of Sin 29:53 – Judah's Bargain: Silver for a Soul 32:39 – The Price: 20 Pieces of Silver 33:34 – Joseph as a Type of Christ: Echoes of Calvary 35:36 – The Deception: Goat's Blood and the Torn Coat 39:57 – Jacob's Grief: Refusing Empty Comfort 41:34 – Three Lessons from the Pit for Today 43:35 – Conclusion: Trusting God When the Way Is Hidden **Bible Verse Category:**

What if the fight you're in is actually an invitation to take territory? Graham Cooke continues the anatomy of a good fight: authority comes through surrender to sovereignty, worship is a transaction where God is no man's debtor, and the story of Elisha at Dothan ends not in bloodshed but in a fourteen-mile walk that sends the enemy home for good. Discover why the biggest battleground is the space between your ears, why in Jesus we fight from victory rather than toward it, and why God — the one true territorial spirit — may want you to occupy the very ground where the battle is raging.Key Scriptures:+ Romans 8:37. "But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us."+ Isaiah 54:17. "No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; and every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD."+ Ephesians 4:23-24. "And that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth."+ 2 Kings 6:18-23. "And the marauding bands of Arameans did not come again into the land of Israel."+ Nehemiah 8:10. "Do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."Want to explore more?

What if you could see your circumstances the way God sees them — from above the battle, not beneath it? Graham Cooke continues the anatomy of a good fight with the story of Elisha at Dothan, where one man saw an army and another saw horses and chariots of fire. Discover why living in the presence of God is the first aspect of warfare, why the kingdom's odds make this not a fair fight, and what it means to develop a mindset centered on majesty.Key Scriptures:+ 2 Kings 6:16-17. "Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them... And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha."+ 1 John 4:4. "You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world."+ 1 John 5:4-5. "Whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world — our faith."+ 1 John 4:17. "As He is, so also are we in this world."+ Ephesians 2:6.

Sunday Morning WorshipA Life Worthy of the King - Colossians 1:9-14Dr. Paul ThompsonApril 19, 2026Notes | https://calvarydothan.com/wp-content/uploads/2026_04_19_1.pdf
Todaywe are continuing in Philippians 1and we will be looking at verses 12–18 overthe next few days. Here in verse 12 we are talking about when life does notgo as planned—when your plans fall apart and it seems like nothing ishappening the way you dreamed or thought God intended for your life. You mayfind yourself wondering, “What is this all about?” TheApostle Paul could have asked that same question, but he looked at it in adifferent light. He begins talking about his circumstances here in verse 12. “But I want you to know, brethren, that thethings which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of thegospel" Thinkabout it—Paul is in prison. He is in chains. He is restricted. His plans havebeen interrupted. If I remember correctly, he had even planned to go on toSpain, but now he is in a prison in Rome. He is writing to his beloved friendsthere at Philippi. Yet he says that what has happened to him, as he sits in aRoman prison, has actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel. It hashelped move the gospel forward. Youknow, my friend, life does not always go as we plan it. The truth is, God isstill on the throne. God is still at work. Even in our setbacks, even in ourdisappointments, even in situations we would never choose for ourselves, Godcan use it all. What looks like a detour to us is often part of God's designand God's plan. Oneof the best stories in the Bible that illustrates this is the story of Joseph.God had a plan for Joseph to save his family. Even as a child, he began to havevisions and dreams of how God was going to use him in a special way. One day,he went to check on his ten brothers. What he saw was not good. He returned andgave his father, Jacob, an honest report about them, but it was not a good one.As a result, his brothers—already envious of him because he seemed to be theirfather's favorite—grew to hate him. Later,when they had the opportunity at Dothan, they threw him into a pit. At first,they even considered killing him, but instead they sold him into slavery andmade money on him. Joseph ended up in Egypt. Now obviously things were notgoing according to Joseph's plans. He had seen visions and dreams ofgreatness—of the stars and even his family bowing before him. Yet now he was aslave in Potiphar's house. Fora time, things went well. But then Potiphar's wife tried to seduce him. Herefused, and she falsely accused him. As a result, he was thrown into prison.Again, things did not seem to be going well. Yet even there, the hand of theLord was with him, and he made the best of his situation. Eventually, as youknow, he was brought before Pharaoh. He interpreted Pharaoh's dreams and waselevated to a position of authority—second only to Pharaoh in all of Egypt. Yearslater—about twenty-two years later—his brothers came to Egypt to buy foodduring the famine. Joseph recognized them, and instead of seeking revenge, hehelped them. He provided for them and eventually brought his entire family toEgypt. After their father Jacob died, his brothers feared that Joseph mightfinally take revenge. They came to him and pleaded for forgiveness. But Josephsaid, “No, no. You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good.”(Genesis 50:19-20) Myfriend, when your plans fall apart and life does not go as expected, rememberthis: God still has a plan. God is still at work. He can use you right whereyou are, no matter what your circumstances may be. As you think about thesethings today, be encouraged—God is still on the throne. Godbless and may you have a wonderful, wonderful day!

3-24-26 Tonight we're talking with Melody and Kyle Stout, the new owners of Spacetime Mead and Cider in Dunmore, PA. They bought and took over Spacetime from owner and mead-maker Dan Schreffler has retired to take time for, well, whatever he decides to do on any given day. They are the next generation for Space Time! Melody began homebrewing in fall 2021, and really got into it, like it does for so many. She continued and got her BCJP Mead Judge certification in spring 2024. Her meads have done well in competition, including at Valhalla, the Mead Stampede and Your Honey or Your Life. Medaled in multiple competitions including Valhalla; Mead Stampede, and Your Honey or Your Life In late 2025, Melody and Kyle bought Spacetime from Dan, and Melody and Kyle will be working closely with Dan to fully transition the winery into their care over the next few years. Kyle isn't a mead maker, but he is handling the marketing side of the meadery. “We make high-quality craft mead and cider with high-quality ingredients and local ingredients as much as possible. And we typically make sci-fi and fantasy-themed meads and ciders, along with some others. We're very focused on providing the highest quality and the most excellent product that we can provide,” said Stout. Stout said Space Time's offerings are locally inspired, and she shares some of the fan-favorite selections. “One of the things that sets us apart is that we are a PA Preferred Winery, which means that about 75% of our product is made using local ingredients. That's not very common in this area. There's not a lot of PA Preferred Winery, and we're very proud of receiving that designation. So, it's really important to us to maintain that designation and have products that are high-quality and locally inspired,” said Stout.

The Board Drill Podcast | Coach Jimmie Tyson | Being Multiple, Changing the Picture, and Week-to-Week Pressure VariationsIn this episode, host Kyle Bradburn sits down with Coach Jimmie Tyson, the new Defensive Coordinator at Dothan High School in Alabama. Coach Tyson brings over 20 years of coaching experience, including six years at Florida A&M University and nearly a decade as the Defensive Coordinator at Lincoln High School in Tallahassee, Florida, one of the most respected programs in the state. The conversation is packed with film, concepts, and practical teaching points for any coach looking to be more multiple on the defensive side of the ball.Coach Tyson breaks down how a candid conversation with an offensive coordinator changed the way he thought about defense, how following Mike McDonald's work at Baltimore and Seattle shaped his coverage matrix, and how his staff built a system that lets them run the same blitz path with multiple coverage tags using just one word. From traditional Tampa 2 to using the nickel as the hole runner, dropping ends into hooks, rolling safeties, disguising zero, and changing the picture week to week based on opponent tendencies, this episode covers a ton of ground with real film to back it up.If you coach defense, this one is for you.TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Welcome and Introduction0:49 - Coach Tyson's Background: FAMU, Godby High School, Lincoln High School, and Dothan High School1:53 - What It Means to Be Multiple on Defense2:00 - The Origin Story: How a Post-Practice Conversation with OC Grant Thompson Sparked a New Philosophy3:40 - Scripting Defensive Plays Just Like an Offense Scripts Its First 124:10 - The Mike McDonald Connection: Following His Work at Baltimore and Seattle5:47 - Building the Coverage Matrix: Putting X's on the Board and Interchanging Roles7:47 - Running Traditional Tampa 2: Film from 2019 and Coaching the Mike in the Hole10:06 - Non-Traditional Tampa 2: Why the Nickel Makes a Better Hole Runner Than the Mike11:33 - Disguising Tampa 2 as a Zero Pressure Look to Freeze the Quarterback13:27 - Motion Rules Against Non-Traditional Tampa: Why Nothing Has to Change15:14 - Hole Player Technique: Staying Top-Down, Climbing with Verticals, Reading QB Eyes18:00 - Walling Tampa 2: Dropping Ends as Hook Players with Cross-A Gap Pressure19:10 - Teaching the Ends to Drop: Running to the Hip of Number Two, Rules vs. the Tight End22:33 - Making This Work with Undersized Ends25:55 - Bears to Tampa: Tagging Ends to Drop Off a Bear Front29:51 - Adjusting Coverage Assignments Week to Week Based on Opponent Threats32:09 - Coverage Tags Off the Same Blitz Path: Zero, Pop (Cover 1), and Tampa33:58 - Three-High Look with Tampa 2: How the Same Concept Wears a Different Mask Each Week34:23 - Making Offensive Coordinators See Ghosts: Running Exotic Looks That Never Show Up on Game Day35:19 - Player Buy-In and Ownership: If It Is Not Clean by Wednesday, It Does Not Go In36:13 - Bringing Nickel and Dime to the A Gap While Dropping the Nose as the Hole Runner39:22 - Four-Man Edge Pressure with Nickel and Dime, Walling Concepts, and the Triangle Over Two43:19 - Transitioning to One-Word Calls: Simplifying Multi-Concept Pressures and Coverages44:00 - Double A Gap Presentations Dropping Into Cover 3: Making Quarterbacks Throw Hot Into Coverage47:16 - Cadence and Stem Work: Presentation Stems vs. Last-Second Stems and Communication Drills49:51 - One-Word Calls in Action: Loading the Front and Bringing the End Down the B Gap51:34 - Showing the Load Front, Stemming, and Dropping Mike and Will While Bringing the Nickel for a Sack53:08 - The Big Takeaway: Crossover Technique and Why Everyone on the Defense Must Learn Every Role54:23 - Coaching the Process: Getting Players to Think and Communicate Instead of Just React55:47 - What Makes These Programs Unique: Staff Development Clinics and Dothan's Team Competition System59:19 - Final Thoughts from Coach Tyson: Why Defensive Coaches Need to Sit in Offensive MeetingsCONNECT WITH THE BOARD DRILLWant more film breakdowns, scheme deep dives, and conversations with coaches at every level?

2-24-26 Tonight at 9PM ET, we're talking with Ryan Kretchmer, owner of Barbarian Mead, a meadery in planning in the Philadelphia area. Like many people, Ryan has lived a quiet, normal life growing up in the suburbs of Chicago — quietly wrestling tigers in the Roman Colosseum, serving as a United States Senator, accepting a beauty pageant crown, conducting questionable laboratory experiments, and occasionally floating through low Earth orbit as an astronaut. Unfortunately, a demanding schedule of international diplomacy, space travel, and tiger hand-to-hand combat made it difficult to maintain a work-life balance, so he reluctantly retired from his many prestigious careers. The official story is “career exploration.” The real story is that the tigers unionized and HR got involved. In reality, Ryan is married to amazing and beautiful woman named Mary, who has given him more patience then he usually deserves...and a house full of dogs. He spent many years working as a general contractor and carpenter, building and renovating homes. After a serious health scare forced him to reassess life and priorities, he stepped away from the physically demanding side of construction and transitioned into working as a quality inspector, where he now evaluates new homes for several national builders. While he no longer swings a hammer all day, the attention to detail and problem-solving mindset followed him into his next unexpected chapter. That chapter began one morning slightly hungover when he checked his email and discovered he had apparently purchased a mead-making kit the night before. Instead of canceling the order, he decided to see what would happen — and promptly fell down a very deep rabbit hole. What started as curiosity turned into an obsession. To date he has made more than 180 batches of mead. He plans to eventually operate **Barbarian Meadery**, where creativity, experimentation, and a refusal to take himself too seriously are part of the process. There are many more batches — and probably a few more questionable late-night purchases — still to come. Cheers.

2-10-26 Tonight we're talking with Roger Wanner, owner and meadmaker at WA Meadwerks in Long Island, NY. Roger is the founder and mead maker of W A Meadwerks. Founded in 2018, they have experienced rapid growth in the early years of operation and disappointment in the post COVID years. After right-sizing the operation and focusing on small batch production, as they did when founded, they've added a new fan base and are reshaping the way mead is perceived and enjoyed. W A Meadwerks will be celebrating its 8th anniversary this year with a focus on barrel aged meads. The celebration starts on Mead Day, Aug 1st and ends on their anniversary Sept 8th.

In this episode, we're sitting down with someone who embodies honesty, resilience, and a whole lot of Jesus — Stephanie Horton. Stephanie has been married to her college sweetheart, Joshua, for sixteen years, and together they've served in ministry just as long. They live in Dothan, Alabama, where Joshua pastors Timbers Drive Church. Stephanie homeschools their three kids, teaches English online, and is fueled by good coffee, real conversations, and the belief that everyone carries a story worth telling. One of her favorite quotes comes from Katie Davis Majors: “If one person sees the love of Christ in me, it's worth every minute.” — and after hearing her today, you'll see just how deeply she lives that out.Stephanie opens up about her journey as a pastor's wife — including the raw truth of walking through a toxic, spiritually abusive church environment. She shares how it all started on day one, how the slow wear of ministry politics took a toll, and ultimately how stepping away brought unexpected freedom, healing, and hope. Through community support, prayer, and a deep trust that God was teaching them every step of the way, Stephanie and her family found their footing again.This is a vulnerable conversation — full of wisdom, humor (yes, she admits she needs some spending cash and will absolutely buy you coffee), and the kind of honesty that reminds every pastor's wife: you're human, your story matters, and there is always hope on the other side.Get all the info about our next pastors' wives retreat and apply here:https://www.pastorswivestellall.com/attendaretreatTo purchase the BOOK, head here: https://pastorswivestellall.com/bookTo shop our MERCH, head here: https://pastorswivestellall.com/shopWant to support the Pastors' Wives Tell All podcast ministry?
