Summary
Levi and Jenny Lusko share their journey of faith and church planting, reflecting on their backgrounds and the challenges they faced while establishing Fresh Life Church in Montana. Levi, a pastor's kid, recounts his upbringing in a family that experienced both spiritual awakening and personal struggles. Jenny, who grew up in a Christian home, emphasizes the importance of her early faith experiences and how they shaped her commitment to God.
The couple discusses their decision to move from a comfortable life in Southern California to a more challenging environment in Montana, where they started their church with just 14 attendees. They highlight the growth of their church and their family, navigating the complexities of ministry while raising four daughters and later a son. The Lusko's story emphasizes the importance of partnership in marriage, shared spiritual journeys, and the reality that following God's call can lead to unexpected challenges and profound growth. Their book, "Through the Eyes of a Lion," addresses themes of pain and resilience in the face of life's trials.
