Listen "E009: Building the Church Without Losing Your Family"
Episode Synopsis
This week’s episode is a very special one. My wife Daniela and I had the joy of sitting down with our friends Chris and Lucy Mendez, lead pastors of Hillsong Latin America, for an inspiring and honest conversation about parenting and ministry. Whether you’re a parent, a pastor, or someone trying to balance family, calling, and faith, this episode offers practical insights and encouragement.We talk about what it looks like to raise children who truly love Jesus, how to protect them from the pressures that can come with ministry life, and how to make sure family always comes first. Chris and Lucy share their story of moving from Australia to Argentina with their three children, what they learned about adjusting to new seasons, staying united as a family, and making church something their kids genuinely enjoyed being part of. They also open up about the intentional choices they made to include their children in ministry without overwhelming them or placing unnecessary expectations.This conversation is full of real-life stories, wisdom, and encouragement for anyone trying to lead with faith at the center. It’s a reminder that family and ministry can grow together in a way that strengthens both.
