    Aug 24 2025

    Send us a text

    Serving God comes with real costs—sometimes unthinkable ones. In this powerful conversation, Joe Maemone shares his journey from successful chiropractor to nearly 30 years in Christian education. He opens up about losing his young son, walking through grief, and how God met him in the darkest moments with an embrace that forever changed his trajectory. Joe reminds us that ministry is about showing up, loving people as Christ has loved us, and trusting God with the fruit. This is a story of tragedy turned into testimony, and of a life poured out for the sake of others.

They share raw stories of relational evangelism at work and school, and the unique gift of undivided devotion in singleness. They reflect on overcoming ministry fatigue—not with willpower, but by returning again and again to the sufficiency of Christ and the Gospel that truly satisfies and anchors us in eternal significance.
