Dustin and Rebecca George: Pursuing the Call God Places on Our Lives, A Pastor and Pastor’s Wife’s Perspective

Dustin and Rebecca live in Brookhaven, Mississippi, with their one pup and have quite the unique perspective as Dustin is the lead pastor of Easthaven Baptist Church making Rebecca “first lady” of their church.
Episode 26 gives us an inside look into how pastors and their families navigate full-time ministry and we hear the story of how Dustin and Rebecca met and how God took two very independent individuals (who might I add have a 19 year age difference) and called them to marriage to each other.

Dustin shares how the call to being a pastor wasn’t always clearly defined, it was more about taking small steps of faith and as he did so the Lord revealed more and more of His plan for his life. Rebecca had to navigate what being a pastor’s wife looked like for her as she had a very specific call as a writer and is passionate about cheering others on in the pursuit of making God known through her unique calling hosting a podcast called Do The Thing Movement.
