Episode notes
How Coach's Honor Multiplied
- Coach's Honor began in 1991 with Wink working with coaches; Reina started wives' studies which multiplied into multiple women-led groups.
- The ministry grew organically without fundraising and now spans five studies and many denominations.
Trust Jesus As The Way Not A GPS
- Discerning God's direction is less about finding a path and more about trusting Jesus as the way, then following in dependence.
- Reina reframes ministry posture: receive Jesus' service rather than striving to serve from self-sufficiency.
Embrace Brokenness Because Christ Covers Shame
- To be human is to be broken; embracing brokenness is possible because Christ's righteousness and compassion cover our shame.
- Reina explains wounds drive wrong choices, so bringing brokenness to Jesus invites compassion that frees dependence.
