Humility, Calling & Working Together Without Killing Each Other w/ Clayton & Ashlee Hurst

In this episode of the Our Couple Goals™ Podcast, Sean & Lanette sit down with their friends and marriage leaders Clayton & Ashlee Hurst from Lakewood Church to talk about what it really takes to work together, serve together, and stay married. They share honestly about hitting a low point five years into marriage—even while pastoring and counseling other couples—and how one question from God became the turning point: “Are you willing to do whatever it takes to have the marriage you’ve always hoped for?” From there, they unpack: How pride quietly damages connection (even when you think you’re “right”) Why humility is the first step to healing How understanding each other’s strengths helped them co-lead without competing The tension of serving in church while protecting your family and mental health If you’ve ever tried to build, lead, or serve together and felt the strain, this conversation will give you hope, perspective, and practical wisdom for your next season.
