We did not want to sacrifice our kids on the altar of ministry.

If you let yourself, you can drown in other people's problems.

Dear young married couple, can ministry be so meaningful that it starts competing with your marriage?

Today's episode is not just for pastors. It's for every couple in ministry, leadership, church service, business, parenting, or any

role where people need you and the needs never seem to stop.

We're joined today by Pastor Kevin and Sister Chastity Allen from Centerpoint Church in

Murphy's Borough, Tennessee.

And they've grown up there.

They've served there for years.

They've raised their three daughters while leading in ministry.

And Pastor Kevin has served as a senior pastor since 2014. He also serves as a sectional presbyter

for the Tennessee District, UPCI, which means they've had a front row seat to the beauty

and the burden of ministry life. And in this conversation, we talk about secure identity, marriage, leadership, boundaries,

and what happens when ministry starts becoming the place a leader goes to feel important?

And at the end, Pastor Kevin gives a simple tool that God gave him.

It's really powerful, and every leader and volunteer needs to hear this tool.

Because the goal is not to serve less. It's to serve in the right order with a whole heart

and with your home still intact. On to the interview. It's an honor to have Kevin and Chassity

Allen on the podcast. Thank you guys for being here today.

Yes, we're super excited.

Thank you for having us.

Absolutely.
