Bobby & Wanda Alger on Championing Each Other's Gifts

Bobby and Wanda Alger make their first appearance on the podcast to share what they have learned about one another and themselves over more than thirty years together in leadership and ministry. Listen as they describe how their marriage has thrived despite having different gifts and how to honor what is on your partner’s heart.

Together, Bobby and Wanda Alger attended Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where Wanda earned a master's in church music and Bobby completed his master of divinity degree. In 1998, the Algers planted Crossroads Community Church in Winchester, Virginia, where Bobby serves as the lead pastor. Soon after, in 2000, they joined the DOVE International family of churches. They have three adult children.
