Craig Groeschel On Protecting His Marriage, Social Media Boundaries & Avoiding Burnout
Podcast: Happy & Healthy with Jeanine AmapolaPublished On: Tue Feb 24 2026
Description: I sat down with Craig Groeschel, pastor of Life.Church, for an AMAZING conversation. We talked about: How to actually make your marriage last 35 years Why you should prioritize your marriage over your kids The behind-the-scenes safeguards he’s put in place to protect his integrity What anxiety looked like for him as a pastor Social media boundaries (this one hit me hard) And why struggling with mental health is NOT a sin I loved how honest he was about going through anxiety in 2019 — even while leading 45 campuses. It reminded me that no one is immune, and asking for help is wisdom, not weakness. This episode felt like a masterclass in safeguards, sanctification, and self-awareness. And I’m honestly so grateful for leaders like Craig who are willing to be vulnerable.
