Gabe & Rebekah Lyons on Starting Q, Starting Fights, & John Travolta

Gabe and Rebekah Lyons are a power couple. They are people who get ISH done. Join me for a conversation with them that ended as though it had only just begun. 

(Well, technically, it did. They left me so their kids wouldn’t be the last ones picked up from gymnastics class. Whatever!)

We discuss the foundation of friendship in marriage, starting an organization together, having children with special needs, growing old and fighting well, plus a few “Would You Rather” questions that I just can’t seem to stop asking these days.

She’s an old soul with a contemporary, honest voice who puts a new face on the struggles women face as they seek to live a life of meaning. Through emotive writing and speaking, Rebekah reveals her own battles to overcome anxiety, Rebekah Lyons - Qideasdepression, and consumer impulses challenging women to discover and boldly pursue the calling God has for them. As a self-confessed mess, Rebekah wears her heart on her sleeve, a benefit to friends and readers alike.

Alongside her husband, Gabe, Rebekah serves as cofounder of Q Ideas, a nonprofit organization that helps Christian leaders winsomely engage culture. Her favorite pastime is spent with her nose in a book and a discriminating cup of coffee in hand. You can find Rebekah on Twitter and Facebook.

      The intentionally getting away to “reset” stuck out to me.
