Rooted & Grounded Ministries Give

A note from Jamin and Kristin

Thank you for walking with us.

On November 1 we opened our home to launch Rooted & Grounded Ministries. Whether you were in our living room that afternoon or weren’t able to make it, we wanted you to have everything we shared, and to invite you into what comes next.

With gratitude, Jamin and Kristin

The need

Many couples in ministry are not doing well, and few are being cared for.

Ministry can be exhausting, painful, and lonely, not only for pastors, but for their spouses as well. The research below measures pastors. Their spouses carry the same weight.

57%

of pastors say they frequently feel overwhelmed.

Lifeway Research, 2025

1 in 4

senior pastors seriously considered leaving full-time ministry in the past year.

Barna Group, 2026

A long-term investment in ministry couples produces long-term faithfulness.

Barna found that pastors with stronger relational support are significantly less likely to consider leaving ministry.

Barna Group, 2026

Retreats, resources, church partnerships, and sabbatical care, for husbands and wives serving in ministry together.
