Debbie Wetzig serves with her husband, John, in Grenada, California. John is currently the interim pastor at the same church where he served as lead pastor from 1984-2016. Debbie and Chelsea Hall (a Flowers for the Pastor’s Wife contributor) served together as pastors’ wives at that church for several years when John was the lead […]
I squirmed in my seat as the pastor continued his sermon on honoring fathers. We had just finished singing praises about our good Father in heaven and His love for us. At age eleven, I was recently old enough to be past the limit for children’s church, but far from an adult. I sat next […]
Click on this link to find the first part of My Faithfully Sure Calling published in April 2018. After over a dozen years of being in the same church, I’ve come to know the ins-and-outs of our building and a lot of the congregants.

I remember accepting Jesus as my Saviour as a small child. I was in my bedroom and I knelt down at my bedside and asked Him into my heart. I suppose I was about six or seven years old and it was a simple child’s prayer. Then I went downstairs and told my Mom what […]

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 […]
Sometimes I question my calling to be a pastor’s wife. I’m not your typical type of pastor’s wife. I didn’t go to Bible school. I didn’t grow up in a Christian home with examples of what a godly wife should look like. I grew up in an urban setting, later moving to suburbia. It was […]
The church is warm, hot really, which isn’t surprising considering it’s the middle of summer in Kansas. My stomach sends nervous signals that make me fidget.
