In this episode, I talk to Mrs. Joy Headley. Listen as she shares what it was like growing up as a pastor’s kid, the unexpected turn into full-time ministry, and the hard-won wisdom that came with years of ministry.

She talks about how her family made major decisions through fasting and prayer, why she and her husband set firm boundaries early on so their kids never felt like ministry came first, and the biggest shifts she’s seen in culture and the church.

We also talk about teaching English while raising pastor’s kids at Lighthouse Christian Academy and deal with difficult people without losing your joy.

If you’ve ever wondered how to navigate calling, family, and long-term ministry without losing what matters most, this episode is for you.
