“There is one thing you have to know about me,” I said with a circle of search committee members looking my way, “I am a breadmaker’s wife.” They all looked around, still smiling, but with looks that told me that they were wondering if I realized my husband was there to work at a church,…
by: Rachel Lovingood [su_spacer] An inevitable part of life [su_spacer] Conflict. Not something that I like or ever look forward to. Most people don’t. But it is a part of all of our lives. Especially since we are leaders. [su_spacer] Now you may be like a few people I know who sort of thrive on…
by: Rachel Lovingood As ministry wives, we have different types of callings. Some of us may have felt personally called to ministry aside from our husband’s call. Others of us may have felt a more general calling to follow the Lord and do His will, but the fact is that if you are married to…
A pastor’s wife serves in a unique role. Her every response, every step, often faces critique. As I have, you may come in contact with people who are not your ‘cup of tea’ for whatever reason: maybe they have a strong personality, overstep the boundaries you have in place, seem critical or judgmental, or perhaps…

In Philippians, the Apostle Paul instructs us to “regard others as more important than yourselves,” and Jesus, well, he’s the ultimate servant. He “emptied & humbled himself” for humankind.
