Tim and Rachel Hughes: Family with An Outward Focus

In this episode of Another Mother, Emma is joined by Tim and Rachel Hughes. They have been married for 21 years, are the senior pastors of Gas Street Church in Birmingham, and parents to five children.

They chat about what it means to live outward-looking lives, despite the temptation to focus inward as their family has grown. Sharing, on a practical level, about involving their children in decisions that come with real cost, the beautiful story of adopting their youngest daughter, and how they’ve learned to parent for connection rather than correction. Tim and Rachel open up about what they see as the most important part of their role as parents, the power of looking after your own emotional health, and the rhythms that help them carry the fullness of ministry, family, and marriage.

Tim and Rachel will both be at Spring Harvest 2026, so if you enjoyed this episode and want to hear more from them, get yourself a ticket!
