After three generations of their family experiencing the pain and devastation of losing their pastors to burnout or infidelity, Jim and Debbie Hogan felt God’s call to create a ministry designed to strengthen and encourage ministry couples. As a result, Standing Stone was founded in 2002 in Chromo, Colorado at the Hogan’s log home on the Navajo River.
Now 20 years later, Standing Stone has a national reach with shepherds across the United States. Shepherds provide a full range of Biblical guidance to ministry leaders and their spouses through ongoing trusted relationships to navigate crises, help prevent them, and increase leaders’ health so their ministries flourish.
