Neil and Sharol Josephson

Episode 06 / July 20, 2020

Neil and Sharol Josephson share their journey and lead by example as they show us what it looks like to trust God with your career, how to be a good steward of whatever God has given you, and working together as a team.

Neil and Sharol Josephson - Directors of FamilyLife Canada

​

Neil and Sharol Josephson are the national directors of FamilyLife Canada, a ministry of Power to Change. Formerly a Bible College President and a TV news anchor, Neil and Sharol have devoted this second season of life to marriage and family ministry – first at a large church in California, and now with FamilyLife Canada. Neil and Sharol have been married for 41 years. They love Jesus, each other and their family, especially their four quite remarkable grandchildren! 

​

FamilyLife used to be about just coming to the weekend getaway or just watching our TV show, but neither of those fit with our view of ministry. Our thought is, “Let’s equip you to honour Christ in your marriage, raise godly children, and reach out to your neighbours in the area of marriage and family.” A lot of people who come to our weekend would say they are Christians. That’s primarily who we market to. But a lot of people say they are Christians without living the spirit of Christ. They’ll say “oh yeah, I became a Christian when I was in high school, or when I was a little kid,” but they still live their married life and parenting life without any submission to Jesus. He gets segregated in their lives. He’s the Lord of Sunday morning, but that’s it. 

​

We challenge people to put Jesus in charge of their marriage and at the center of their home. I think the area of family is fascinating for a lot of people, and that’s why some of these unsaved spouses will show up. There’s a lot of people who go, “I’m not into God, but I love my wife. If this makes her happy and strengthens our marriage, then I’ll come. But don’t give me that God stuff.” Then they show up, and God manages to break through the barricades and bring new life.
