Episode #12 - Growing Up in the Ministry with My Nephew, Pastor Austin Garrett

Today on Faith, Fashion & the Hustle, I’m sitting down with someone very special to me - my nephew, Pastor Austin Garrett, pastor of the Valley Pentecostal Church in Glendale, Arizona, and host of The Pastor’s Journal podcast. Austin grew up in a pastor’s home, so ministry has been part of his life from the very beginning. We talk about what that experience was really like - the expectations, the lessons he learned, and how being raised around ministry helped shape his own calling. We also dive into his journey from traveling as an evangelist to becoming a pastor, the adjustments that came with that transition, and some of the lessons God has taught him along the way. And because he’s my nephew, this isn’t just an interview. It’s a personal conversation about family, faith, calling, leadership, and carrying the legacy of ministry into the next generation. Join us for a heartfelt conversation filled with stories, wisdom, a few laughs, and an inside look at the life behind the pulpit.
