S2 Ep13: A Fought-For Partnership

S2 Ep13: A Fought-For Partnership

In this episode, Adi and Shannon reflect on their time serving together as college interns in Southeast Asia and what they learned about partnership along the way. With very different personalities and ways of communicating and showing love, working together did not come easily. While they were able to function well as partners in ministry, they soon discovered that they were not partnering well within their home.


As tensions surfaced and misunderstandings grew, the enemy worked hard to create division and keep them from moving forward together. Through honest conversations, vulnerability, and a willingness to fight for one another, Adi and Shannon learned what it meant to become true partners - and even long lasting friends.

Their story reflects the fruit that comes from choosing love, humility, vulnerability, and faithfulness in partnership. As Jesus reminds us, “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” (John 13:35).
