The Power Struggle, Sharing Hope in Hardship, & Marriage after Addiction with Alex & Dallas Johnson

Dallas and Alex have known each other since high school, and have been married for six years this July. They grew up in the same college-mountain town in Arizona, and they recently got two new additions to their family, two sweet golden retrievers, Faith and Texas. Dallas owns and operates a towing business, and Alex is designing a clothing line that will donate portions of profit to charity; to suicide victims and sex-trafficked women in Cambodia, two things she’s most passionate about. Dallas and Alex also have YouTube channels: Tow Trainer and Hope With Alex. Dallas offers towing advice on active calls, and Alex encourages people to hold onto hope during hardships.

Listen in for a summary of Alex’s powerful testimony - how God miraculously broke her free from addiction to heroin, crack and alcohol.

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.
