This (show) was awesome. I totally agree about the part you said about not bringing any personal stuff into the mix before our husbands minister. Everyone can tell that you two are best friends. I am getting ready to listen to the latest “Geek Loves Nerd” right now.
I agree, a Pastor's wife is just that his wife. I have run into a few other Pastor's wives that either try to run the show completely or they are so insecure they can't stand themselves. I guess I don't understand the insecure part. I have really enjoyed listening. Thank you for the insight!!! Praying for your ministry….
Thanks for this. It really helped me to think about how I treat my husband when it comes to ministry stuff. Sometimes I expect too much of him — running here and there, picking up supplies, being at every function… and then I don’t appreciate it. Your message about how you talk about them publically really hit home. Thanks.
Glad you got something out of it!
