Join us for the conclusion of The Wives Restoration Series with Ashley Glick! A four-part series giving us a glimpse into the lives of 4 different wives and their side of their husband’s restoration story.

Ashley shares her journey of restoration in her own life and her future husband Steve. Though Ashley didn’t grow up in church, a friend’s family helped start her faith. She met Steve soon after, who at the time was struggling through addiction. This marked the beginning of their journey together through seasons of struggles and seasons of immense joy.

 

“We were two imperfect people working towards the same goal,” she says.

 

A 2009 trip to Liberia transformed Steve’s life, sparking changes that deepened his faith and prepared them for marriage. Through challenges like a brief breakup and the loss of Steve’s father, Ashley leaned on prayer and faith, encouraging others to “stay prayerful” and believe the best in your spouse.

Today, their marriage is thriving. Raising their kids to love Jesus and love others. Because of some timely mentorships and a belief in each other, Ashley and Steve are continuing to build on their marriage, knowing that there is always room to grow and learn.
