Thank you for your ministry!

I run a forum for pastor’s wives that deals honestly with the challenges of ministry and also the joys and sorrows of everyday life as ministry wives. It is a tough, joyful ride. We appreciate the shout out.

If you think being a pastor is a lonely road, try being a pastor’s spouse. While I’ve met some great people through my church connections, I have also seen the worst of people. At least in our denomination, spouses and families are often just the collateral damage when conflict erupts. I truly love and support my husband, but am more cautious when it comes to loving the church. Even though the chuch often does not recogize it (at least in our denomination), spouses are partners in ministry. And over the years, we have learned to set better boundaries to protect our home life, like not answering the phone during mealtime. Blessings on your ministry. Thanks for all you do.

I just discovered your site this week through a friend of a friend of a friend! I’m sharing it with the ministry leaders in my world … and will be eagerly anticipating future reads.

I love your emphasis on the whole person, life balance, family. Even Jesus hiked, went fishing, hung out with friends, got the boat out …

And how ’bout women in ministry? It’s sure been a rough, misunderstood, lonely road to walk … and I know that I’m not the only one …
