Just over 30 years ago, Bill Hybels and three of his closest friends, Joel Jaeger, Scott Pederson and Tim VandenBos, started Willow Creek Community Church. They were a band of unlikely brothers who committed their lives and what little they had to building a church that would reach out to people far from God. Through all of the ups and downs of ministry, these four men, along with their wives, have endured, and all of them remain on staff at Willow today.

What has been the key to their longevity and how have their relationships with each other kept them in the game for the long haul?

Joel, Scott and Tim join Bill and host Nancy Beach for this issue of Defining Moments. As you can imagine, they've got lots of stories to tell and many lessons they've learned from being "in it for the long haul".
