In this episode of The LINC Talks, Pastor Bobby Bogard sits down with longtime friends and ministry partners Pastor Moses and Diane Alexander, founders of Acts Gospel Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan. With more than five decades of marriage and nearly 30 years of ministry behind them, the Alexanders open up about what it really takes to stay the course in life, marriage, and calling.
From their deep roots in inner-city outreach—serving the homeless, addicted, and broken—to their unwavering faith through trials, Pastor Moses and Diane model what it means to love people with grit, grace, and gospel conviction. The conversation is filled with heartfelt stories of transformation, wisdom forged through hardship, and the kind of authenticity that reminds us why perseverance matters.
Together, they remind listeners that quitting is easy—but staying when it’s hard is where legacy is built. Their journey proves that when God is at the center, lives are changed, marriages are healed, and generations are transformed.
This episode explores longevity in ministry and marriage, leading from a place of humility and lived experience, reaching the broken with consistency and compassion, and the power of spiritual legacy and community. Whether you’re just beginning your journey or feeling the weight of ministry, this episode is a powerful reminder: stay faithful—because someone’s breakthrough may be on the other side of your obedience.
