Ep. 123 | Marriage Missionaries: Josh & Sara Johnson

In the captivating Season 4 finale of the Under the Hood podcast, Pastor Joe & Kirsten sit down with Josh and Sara Johnson, an inspiring couple called to an unexpected ministry as marriage missionaries in Northwest Arkansas. Seventeen years into their own marriage, they reached a turning point: Josh realized the "kingdom" he thought he was building was actually a prison, while Sara found herself trapped in the "captivity of comfort." But God had a different vision. Submitting their hearts to His call, they began taking blind steps of faith on a surprising, divine journey that made no sense to the world. As Pastor Joe points out in this episode, there is a reason God doesn't reveal His entire blueprint all at once—if He had told the Johnsons decades ago that they’d be raising their own support to minister to couples, they might have said no. Instead, hear how they stepped out in faith to change the world one home at a time, and learn how you can support their vital mission. Let’s pop the hood!
