Faith Journeys: Amanda Bellisario's Path to Ministry and Community

In our latest episode, we welcome Amanda Bellisario, who shares her journey from a Christian upbringing in Massachusetts to her role in ministry today. Amanda discusses her transition from a Christian school to public school, early career experiences, and how each step prepared her for her current role as a pastor's wife. We also explore her husband Craig's faith journey, where a clear directive from God led him to leave his job and start volunteering at the church. Encouraged by Pastor Brian and supported by Amanda, Craig transitioned to a full-time pastoral role. The couple moved into a parsonage, embracing their new life in ministry. Amanda reflects on the challenges and rewards of being a pastor's wife, emphasizing the importance of a support system, maintaining boundaries, and grounding teachings in scripture. Amanda shares a pivotal moment when she joined Barnabas Ministries, taking a leap of faith into a role that aligned with their needs. She highlights Barnabas Ministries' mission of fostering unity among pastors through John 7:23 groups, which provide a safe space for pastors to share, pray, and support each other. This unity has strengthened congregations and led to collaborative ministry efforts. Join us to hear Amanda and Craig's inspiring story of faith, calling, and community, and how they have built a supportive church family while staying committed to God's word.
