She has sacrificed these last eight years, uncovering the painful areas of my manhood and covering the areas that could have exposed me,” he said in an interview on “Sister Circle” last fall. Let me tell you something, my wife has endured more pain birthing me than both of our children. But if you marrying a covering, she’ll push you to your destiny. Because if a man marries a lid she’ll stop your dream. She’s bigger than me and she’s had to cover me while I grow up. I don’t make her be silent and she doesn’t expect, demand anything from me.”Ī few months ago, John Gray of Relentless Church in Greenville, South Carolina, who is listed with his wife Aventer as senior pastors on the church’s website called her a “covering.” “Neither one of us has authority over each other. Marty doesn’t see himself as having any greater authority over Robin when it comes to leadership of the church and she likewise has no authority over him at the progressive Baptist church. “We give them direction and we help them and if we disagree on something we take it to our church council and we all work at it,” he said. They make the decision of how much we are going to budget. They make the decisions of what pastors they want to have. Our church is made up of a lot of leaders and a lot of leaders have to input and this Baptist church makes all the decisions for itself. We don’t have authority over the whole church. So when we have different ideas about the church, it’s not just us. “We also have a church council that helps lead the church as well. “It’s equal,” he recently told The Christian Post about the power-sharing leadership structure between him and his wife. It’s been some seven years now since Pastor Marty Anderson and his wife Robin have been serving together as co-pastors of Commonwealth Baptist Church in Alexandria, Virginia, and everything, he says, has been copacetic.
