134 - "You May Not Leave Her in a Separate Room" — Marriage, Mission, and the NAMS Companion - May 26th, 2026

Part 8 of the NAMS Rule & Customary Order Series. "You May Not Leave Her in a Separate Room" — Marriage, Mission, and the NAMS CompanionAn Anglican order of married church planters is, Jon Shuler admits in episode 134, quite unique in Christian history. And that uniqueness creates a real tension: what happens when the demands of the companion calling collide with the sacred bond of marriage? Shuler is direct — a companion who runs around the world making disciples while neglecting his own wife is an unfaithful companion. Full stop. This episode unpacks two commitments from the Married Companions section of Article III: the path of spousal discipleship and the requirement that a wife not merely tolerate the calling but genuinely understand and believe in it. A searching and pastoral episode for every married companion, Anglican church planter, and Great Commission Christian.
