Episode Synopsis


Hello, all. Welcome again to another Rainy Day Conversation around Greatheart’s Table. This is the second half of an episode that first aired in September of 2024. The first half aired a few weeks ago. 



I’m reprising this conversation because of the value of addressing the often overlooked but challenging role of being the spouse of a ministry leader such as a pastor or elder in the church. I’m grateful for the three brilliant women who were willing to share their time and experience with us.
