QUOTES:

“How many times do marriages fall apart because people just don't even know how to support one another, nor do they know how to work together? It's easy for you just to think, oh, I can kill it, I can kill, I can kill it, in the same way that it's easy to love yourself. But it's harder to apply what you learned in the Bible with other people” - Preston Perry

“It’s kind of a myth about marriage is that our significant other is supposed to be our everything. That's very intimidating for me [and] that's a lot of pressure for me to be someone's everything because I'm not.” – Erika Brown

“We have similar gifts — we both are gifted to teach. We both are communicators [and] are creatives. So, we don't necessarily have tension when it comes to sharing a call, per se. I think we've had tension when one of us has a vision that the other doesn't feel like walking into. And so Preston will often have ideas that take me years to agree with.” – Jackie Hill Perry
