  • Amazing and anointed

    I’m so thankful for this podcast. I love this series

    That jacque is doing with Leighann and Diane!!

    I’ve been waiting for this “first stone” episode where they talk about contentment. I can’t wait to see what’s next. I really felt the Holy Spirit moving through that prayer at the end of the podcast… I felt the Lord moving and it was just so encouraging and exactly what I needed. Thank you guys and thank you for being obedient to the Lord and making this podcast ❤️

  • A great listen for all women

    I love this show. Pastor's wives have such a unique calling and Jacque's encouraging personality has a way of drawing the best out of her guests. This is a podcast for all women--but especially for women in leadership. Be sure and pass this along to your pastor's wife. She'll thank you!

  • A new Pastor’s wife.

    I’ve been a pastor’s wife for a little under a year and so happy I have this podcast to listen to. It is a great to hear the stories from women in my position who love God. It is a blessing and an honor to be married to a pastor and that God will call us to such a position. It can be intimidating at times. So I really enjoy getting new insight and encouragement from the podcast. Thank you for sharing your time.

  • Very practical

    I really enjoyed this. I am about to wrap up a monthly Bible study with my Ladies on Fit or Fat. We will have covered six areas (physically, spiritually, emotionally, mentally, relationally, and financially). Now that they should be more fit, I want to challenge them to help other ladies feel lavished. Thank you!!!

Trusting God in Every Season with Shannon Trigos | Episode 168
Q: What would you tell a pastor's wife who is walking through a difficult season in ministry?
She would tell them that the struggle is real and that they should not measure themselves by others' expectations but by the Lord, and to take time for personal rest and renewal, acknowledging it is hard but essential to keep serving.
From Surrender to the Pastor Wife Life with Kristen Smith | Episode 167
Q: Can you describe how you and your husband first became believers and how that changed your path toward ministry?

Q: What was the most challenging part of being a pastor's wife?
