In Episode 95 of the Grow Leader Podcast, Pastor Chris Hodges is joined by Tammy Hodges and the GrowLeader team for an honest and heartfelt conversation about marriage, family, ministry, and the principles that build a lasting legacy. Together, they reflect on nearly 40 years of marriage, raising children while planting Church of the Highlands, and the intentional choices that helped them protect unity at home while leading in ministry.

The conversation explores practical wisdom for couples and leaders, including the power of second chances, staying connected through every season, giving family quantity time, and allowing each person to live out their unique calling without pressure or comparison. Pastor Chris also shares the heart behind his new book, Legacy Letters, a collection of timeless principles written to leave behind for future generations.

This episode is full of encouragement for pastors, spouses, and leaders who want to build something meaningful without losing what matters most. It's a powerful reminder that great leadership starts with love for God, love for family, and a commitment to live with unity, grace, and intentionality.
