I’m a pastor’s daughter turned pastor’s wife; been one now for thirty-seven years and counting. So yeah, I get it! I’ve felt the lonely depletion of ministry and the silent throbbing for spiritual renewal. I also know the rare and unrivaled joy of fellowship with other ministry-living pastors’ wives. For many years I longed for a constant community with women like that. Women, who without explanation, “get it” because they’re living it too.
