In today's episode, I sit down and chat with my lovely wife, Christina Longo [https://www.instagram.com/christinalongophotography/], about her journey working in corporate America and how she ultimately ended up work in ministry herself as the Director of Communication & Development for the Catholic Apostolate "Real Life Catholic" [https://reallifecatholic.com/] with Chris Stefanick [https://www.instagram.com/chris.stefanick/]. For our series of episodes diving into "Managing in Ministry", Christina shares some great insights bringing professionalism into our ministry workplaces, learning from others outside of the ministry world to better know how to inspire our communities to live for Christ, and so much more! If it wasn't for this incredibly amazing women in my life, I don't know how I would manage in ministry, so I hope that in this little podcast episode you can take away at least a little bit of all the amazing things she has taught me over the years of our relationship together.
