Once again, I have been reminded that living in the glass house brings with it a loss of anonymity. People will know details about you and your family and in reality you could never pick them out of a line up. Most of the time this will not be a cause for concern but let’s…
By: Rebecca Holloway With the office of pastor’s wife comes a list of expectations. We’ve all read articles on the internet or books about how to meet those expectations. But what if you CAN’T respond to those expectations? What if it becomes humanly impossible for you to serve? What if you are sidelined by a…
By: Denise Gerst As Pastors’ wives, we serve in a unique role. The expectations placed upon us can lead us to a place of uncertainty.
