Pouring Into Others: The Ministry of Love
Ministry flows naturally from the McCraes' shared love for God and their open book approach. Their transparency, an integral part of their ministry, stems from their experiences. Raised in church, Brandon's family background set the stage for his ministry role, while Erica's journey led her to establish a women's ministry and nonprofit. Both understand their roles and their shared calling to serve in the future. Changing the Marriage Narrative: Beauty and Challenges With a commitment to balance and transparency, the McCraes counter the narrative that marriage is either idyllic or laden with suffering.

They provide a realistic perspective, highlighting the hard work and dedication required for a healthy relationship. Their journey is a testament to the value of challenges in making marriage truly worthwhile. Navigating Struggles and Communication The McCraes openly admit that they're an ordinary couple with their own set of problems. Communication and balance remain areas they consistently work on.
