What
The
TFP24 Couples Conference?
We understand that ministry is full of challenges. But those challenges often come as a result of lies that we believe about the role, about who we should be, or how we should appear to others.
Pastors, join us with your spouse as we expose the Ministry Lies That Hurt You and Your Family and seek to encourage ministry couples with the truth of God‘s Word, so you can be refreshed to minister anew.
Let’s
