Ministry teaches you a lot about endurance—but it also teaches you about discernment.

In this episode, we share an important conversation we’ve spent a lot of time praying through. It’s one we didn’t arrive at quickly or lightly, but one that came through unity, clarity, and a deep trust in God’s leading.

We talk honestly about calling, capacity, and what faithfulness looks like when God invites you to respond differently than you expected. This episode includes a meaningful announcement, along with reflections on obedience, grief, gratitude, and hope for what God is still doing—both now and in the future.

If you’ve ever found yourself navigating a transition you didn’t see coming, or wondering how to follow God when the next step requires letting go, this conversation is for you.

Thank you for listening, walking with us, and trusting us with your hearts in this space.

In this short and spirited episode of Pastors’ Wives Tell All, we’re talking about one surprisingly divisive topic: thrifting.

Some of us absolutely love the hunt—the thrill of a good deal and the satisfaction of a hidden gem. Others thrift out of sheer necessity, stretching budgets and making things work in real life and ministry. And then there are those of us who walk into a thrift store and feel… completely overwhelmed.

With plenty of laughter and honest banter, we share our different relationships with thrifting, how personality and season of life play into it, and why something as simple as shopping secondhand can bring out strong opinions. No deep theology here—just real life, real laughs, and the reminder that we’re all wired differently.

Whether you’re a seasoned thrifter, a reluctant bargain-hunter, or someone who prefers to walk right back out, you’ll feel seen in this one.

What if the very things disrupting your life are actually part of God’s invitation?

In this episode of Pastors’ Wives Tell All, we have an honest, relatable conversation about inconvenience—the kind that sneaks into ministry, parenting, marriage, and personal growth. From interrupted schedules to stretched capacities, we explore how calling often requires adjustments we didn’t plan for and structures we didn’t ask to change.

We talk candidly about how home life is not separate from ministry—it is ministry—and why embracing inconvenience can actually open the door to unexpected blessing, deeper growth, and renewed spiritual focus. Along the way, we unpack the danger of an all-or-nothing mindset, the role of self-control in sustaining long-term faithfulness, and why sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is return to the basics.

If you’ve been feeling stretched, distracted, or quietly resentful of how “inconvenient” obedience has become, this episode is for you.
