    Sharing Their Love Story with The Wades (Part 1)

    Send a text Hosts: Pastor Danny & Dr. Amelia Cole Guests: Apostle Tony & Prophetess Wade ✨ Episode Snapshot In this deeply inspiring episode, Danny and Amelia sit down with Apostle Tony and Prophetess Wade, senior leaders and founders of Divine Life Church, to explore their remarkable journey from brokenness to powerful kingdom leadership. From a chance encounter at a mutual friend's gathering to navigating the complexities of co-leadership in marriage and ministry, the Wades share transparent insights about submission, sacrifice, and supernatural transformation. Listeners will discover how a near-abortion became a divine destiny, how bankruptcy court became a declaration of faith, and how two strong-willed individuals learned to die to self in order to lead together. This conversation is essential for couples in ministry, leaders navigating authority and submission, and anyone believing God can transform their past into their greatest platform. 🎧 In This Episode ✔️ The "sleeping on the couch" love story and the lowrider truck that sealed the deal ✔️ How Tony's salvation one week after a breakup saved their baby and relationship ✔️ The pivotal moment when God told Prophetess Wade to "let go of the coattail and grab his arm" ✔️ Why divorce being "not an option" means being in a room with no windows or doors ✔️ Navigating the challenge of being husband/wife AND boss/employee in ministry ✔️ The Holy Spirit rebuke that taught Prophetess Wade about true submission to authority ✔️ Tony's transformation from competitor to sacrificial lover, learning to give instead of receive ✔️ Prophetess Wade's journey from fierce independence to trusting God through her husband's leadership ✔️ Making faith declarations in bankruptcy court: "We here, but we not here" 💬 Favorite Quotes "When you say divorce is not an option, that means you are in a room with no windows and no doors. Either you're gonna be miserable for the rest of your life, or you're gonna be forced to work it out." — Apostle Tony "The Lord spoke to me and said, 'I need you to let go of Tony's coattail and grab hold of his arm because I've called you two together.'" — Prophetess Wade "Submission is not weakness. It's actually power under control. You're being uniquely you, and there's a blessing in submitting, especially to good leadership." — Prophetess Wade "Who are you? Were you there when I hung the moon and the stars? You're just a puppet on the street that I move." — God to Prophetess Wade (as shared by Prophetess Wade) "If you stick with me, I'm gonna take you to the top." — Apostle Tony (declaring this in bankruptcy court) 🎯 Take Action ✨ Make a declaration today: Divorce is not an option, decide to do whatever it takes for a successful marriage ✨ Identify where you need to "die to self" in your relationship, what old patterns need to go? ✨ If you're in ministry leadership together, clarify the lines between home authority and organizational authority ✨ Ladies: Examine whether your view of submission has been shaped by abuse or dysfunction rather than God's design ✨ Men: Ask yourself, are you a giver or a receiver?
