In today’s episode, we introduce two brand new co-hosts for the D6 Family Podcast! Josh Wooten and Marianne Howard will begin co-hosting with Dr. Ron Hunter on our weekly podcast, and we spend our time getting to know about them, their families, and their hearts for ministry. We also ask them to share some of the pivotal lessons they’ve learned in both valley and mountaintop moments.


Josh is the lead pastor of next-generation at Northfield Church. He is a husband, father of two and a songwriter who loves Jesus, good music, the outdoors, sports, and people. Having served in full-time ministry for over 17 years, he is a creative voice in the family ministry movement. His creativity and passion for ministry are very evident and contagious.  His doctor is still looking for ways to curb his enthusiasm as he tirelessly seeks to bring joy to every person he comes in contact with while empowering those who serve the church. 


Marianne has been teaching, equipping, discipling, and mentoring for 20 years. She is a wife, mother, friend, teacher, speaker, and disciple maker. She values the incredible work of life on life discipleship. Marianne has been married to Chad for 20 years and they have two boys. She has a heart and passion for teenagers and serves alongside her husband at Five Stone Community Church in the Dallas area and serves on the D6 Family marketing team and D6 Plus team.
