*Scriptures are New Living Translation This list has been put together by Di Mathis (a former pastor’s wife – her husband Scott is the President of the Fellowship of Berean Churches) and Denna Busenitz (who networked with other pastors’ wives and wrote these prayers in a format similar to her training with Moms in Prayer […]
*Scriptures are New Living Translation Our oldest three kids like to take their bows and arrows outside for target practice, their goal being to hit the bullseye attached to a hay bale. Do you ever feel like the pastor’s kids are super-targeted by the enemy as he seeks to destroy their innocence, testimony, friendships and […]
You can read part 1 HERE You can read part 2 HERE My first trip to the Sandhills is etched in my mind. We were dating. I knew Kurt’s calling was clear. I met folks of all ages that he had gotten to know during his pastoral internship in the summer of 1999 . I […]
Click here for Part 1 We would move again, just in time for my Junior year in high school. Dad had a new job and once again I said goodbye to all that had become familiar. Everything was smaller at my second high school and reminded me of the country pace I had loved about […]
As pastor’s wives, we all have a unique story of how we came to be married to a pastor. I recall asking the Lord back in Junior High to spare me from a life of boredom; adventure is what I wanted as I followed Him! A church-planting pastor’s wife in an isolated context wasn’t on […]

Acts 18:3, “And because he (Paul) was of the same trade he stayed with them (Aquila and Priscilla) and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade.” Hosting doesn’t come easy for me. I’m a minimalist when it comes to fancy details. My husband loves to have people in our home and gives me the extra […]
I met Precious almost 20 years ago, back when she was helping wash the family dishes and singing hymns in harmony with her siblings. I knew her oldest sister, Rachel Wynn from Moody Bible Institute where we were both music majors. Rachel invited me to her home on college breaks where I enjoyed getting to […]
