STARLA BRIDGES

Kendall and Starla Bridges met in Bible College in August 1981, married in August 1982, had their first of four children in August 1983. They have two sons and two daughters, all married, beautiful and world changers. They have nine grandchildren that are the best ever! So much fun! 3 boys and 6 girls, who call them “Pops and Shoobie.” They pastor Freedom Church in Carrollton, Texas, where their mission is “helping people find freedom.” If you’re ever in the Dallas area they would love for you to visit.


Kendall and Starla authored their first book together Better Marriage Against All Odds telling their story of being married, broken, and then restored (available on Amazon). They also travel and speak at marriage conferences, date nights and weekend services to share their story as well as equip couples to have the beautiful, better marriage God intended for all of us to have.


Our desire, our goal, our purpose is to help others. Believe us, we take no personal joy from sharing our ugliest moments as a couple, but there is great joy in knowing that in some small way we have helped someone know that they are not alone. There is hope for a better marriage, and you will get through this one step, one day, and one victory at a time.


gina kirkman

Gina has been involved in the Pentecostal church all her life, first as the daughter of a pastor and teacher, now as the wife of a pastor and teacher. She has faithfully served with distinction, excellence, and compassion in over a dozen churches, in every capacity from nursery worker to co-pastor. Throughout her thirty years of ministry, her service has touched all areas of the church, although she feels specifically called to minister hope, love, and encouragement to women and to inspire them to glorify God in their service to Him, their family, and their church.

She supported her husband, Doug, in his 25-year military career traveling all over the US and Portugal. Through her prayers and ultimately, God's grace, she made a home for her family in 14 different houses, in 7 different states and on an island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean! In between all the relocations, she dutifully supported his pastor/teaching ministry at each stop on their journey together... all while raising their three children… Nicole (25), Nathan (18), and Noah (10). In addition to caring for her husband and raising their three children, she also home-schooled each child through their entire primary and secondary education.

Gina serves as guest speaker for women’s conferences, using her life-long experiences as evidence of God’s faithfulness to His church.
