I&#8217;m the one who has read all the books and gone to all the conferences, but she&#8217;s the one who can put words to what we want to do and how we want to do it.&#8221; I&#8217;m kicking myself for not recording her conversation.<\/p>\n<p>So if you ever have questions about our church planting process, direct them to my wife!<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and she&#8217;s beautiful too, isn&#8217;t she?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My wife knows more about church planting than I could ever dream to learn.
