## Resource

How do you maintain integrity when your ministry requires counseling people—often one-on-one? In this special series of 'Average Joe' conversations, Jim Ramos sits down with retired pastor but current ministry leader Wes Smith. From nearly 80 years of combined ministry experience, they discuss the practical guardrails they've put in place to protect their marriages, their reputations, and the people they serve. This conversation offers practical insight for staying above reproach while still caring for people well. Jim's newest book, Guardrails: Ten Boundaries for an Unbreakable Marriage will be releasing in April 2026. Pre-order your copy today at https://tinyurl.com/guardrails115 .
