Is Ministry His Job Or Ours? Finding Your Place In Serving Together

When I first stepped into the role of a youth pastor’s wife, I was eager to be involved—but I kept hearing older pastors' wives say, “I’m not in ministry—he is.” And honestly? That really messed with me. It made me question what I felt like God was calling me to do.

 

In today’s episode, we’re talking about that tension—how to navigate the desire to serve together, what to do when other voices discourage you, and how to figure out your actual role in ministry without losing your mind (or yourself).

 

Whether you’re all-in, unsure, or somewhere in between, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about shared callings, setting healthy limits, and finding freedom in the middle of it all.

 

So grab your coffee and come hang out—I think this convo is going to encourage you big time.
