What does it take to build a thriving marriage while pursuing a God-given calling? In this special episode of With Love, The Chambers, Rufus and Jamila sit down with Dr. Matthew and Dr. Latasha Nesbitt, founders of Deeper Church LA, for an honest conversation about purpose, partnership, faith, and the intentional choices that have sustained their marriage and ministry for nearly two decades. From a first date centered on purpose to planting a church in Los Angeles by faith, the Nesbitts share how preparation, trust, and shared vision became the foundation of both their marriage and their calling. Together, we explore:
