Thanks for doing this episode, my wife and I work together a lot in the ministry and it’s really interesting to hear how similar things are at other churches.
Great episode! I work with my husband at church. I love to hear about other people’s experiences with helping out their spouses in the ministry. Looking forward to checking out the pastor’s wife episode.
Thank you so much for your podcast. I am a female pastor and my husband helps me when he can. He is my tech guy, builder, painter, and is will to be slimed, pied, and is such a blessing to me and the ministry. I wish he could quit his job and help me all the time.
I also wanted to say thank you for sharing that some days you only get a few phone calls finished. I always have an ongoing list of things to do but some of them take weeks to finish. I thought I was just slow. I also have to report to my pastor weekly but sometimes he has an unrealistic expectation of how quickly things can be accomplished.
It is so nice to you wife can help with some of the administration task that it takes to run a ministry. These are the task that take up most of my time and are draining for me. I know they need to be done but it frustrates me when I spend most of my time on those tasks and then there is not enough time to be as creative in the planning.
I also love the spiral wishing well and will be ordering on for our ministry. Again thank you for taking time to share with others. You guys are a blessing to me.
