Being A Pastor’s Wife is Easy! Really, it is!

Depending on her husband, church/ministry context, and obligations outside the ministry, being a pastor’s wife can be challenging at best, if not sometimes overwhelming.  However, when pastors’ wives are secure in their identity in Christ, clear about what God has called them to do, and can minister to the needs of her husband, every other expectation becomes secondary.
