Ever faced an obstacle so overwhelming it seemed designed to make you quit? In this heartfelt conversation with James and Tiffany Bear, we journey through their remarkable story of building Le Coiffeur salon against what seemed like impossible odds.
The Bears share how a piece of property Tiffany initially disliked became the clear vision for her salon during the pandemic. What follows is a tale that would test the resilience of even the strongest couples – from deceptive contractors to blocked phone numbers, from construction standstills to a nearly-finished building they legally couldn't use. When their second builder abandoned the 90% completed project after closing permits without final inspections, they were left with a fully-funded building they couldn't occupy.
"Every time I was like 'Babe, it's just getting to be so much money, so much stress, so much pressure,' he's like, every single time without fail: 'Do it the way you want it,'" Tiffany recalls of James' unwavering support despite being offshore for months at a time during construction. Their story reveals how obstacles often confirm you're on the right path rather than indicating a wrong turn.
What began as Tiffany's desire for a peaceful workplace has transformed into an unexpected ministry. "She opened the front door and couldn't even get in far enough to close it... and said 'Ministry is going to happen in this place,'" Tiffany shares about a friend's prophetic words upon first seeing the completed salon.
This episode is a masterclass in perseverance, partnership, and faith when the path forward seems impossible. Listen now and be encouraged that your own obstacles might just be confirmation you're exactly where you need to be.
