I’m Christine Hoover. Welcome to The Ministry Wives Podcast. Being a ministry wife is a vocation without a job description… and let’s be honest — sometimes it seems like ministry might be easier if we did have one. If you are a ministry wife like me and are looking for hope, perspective, and a little bit of practical advice regarding your role, you’re in the right place. Join me as we hear from women in various ministry contexts for authentic conversations about our shared joys and challenges – even the ones we’re unsure we can talk about. No topic is off-limits. Let’s dive in.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">In this Season 4 finale episode of the Ministry Wives Podcast, sit down with my husband Kyle Hoover and me for another Q & A episode. We wanted to give you more details following our episode with the Mandrells. We share about how God transformed our marriage during the COVID season, how that time served as a catalyst for my new book, as well as how God has been walking with us during our current trial with one of our children. </span></p> <h3>QUOTES</h3> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="font-weight: 400">“I would say we did push through, but at the same time I think we gave ourselves permission to not do some of the things that we normally would’ve done, and that’s okay. And, we pushed through with community. We had people who knew what we were going through and knew that we needed prayer and space and encouragement. We didn’t just push through isolated.”</span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="font-weight: 400">-Christine Hoover</span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="font-weight: 400">“I think what I enjoyed about the book is that it’s not just a fairytale; it’s a story of trusting the Lord in the midst and believing that God will take care of you and also call upon you to trust him and obey him. I appreciate that it wasn’t just a movie script kind of an ending where it’s ‘they all ended up being happy’. It’s a gritty story of faith and trust.”</span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="font-weight: 400">-Kyle Hoover</span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="font-weight: 400">“When I think about the prayers of God’s people for us and the care, it’s like a crowd surfing at a concert. I feel like we in some ways have probably even been protected from more suffering and pain because people have carried us through and lifted us and passed us along. I love that picture because that’s what it feels like. It feels like we’re being carried not just by people, but by the Lord.”</span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="font-weight: 400">-Christine Hoover</span></em></p> <h3>LINKS FROM THE SHOW</h3> <p><em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/You-Are-Not-Forgotten-Discovering/dp/1087788455/ref=sr_1_1?crid=18E0ZIGDM0S21&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.X2_j3_CQzIrgns1FQTF0V-PDE6YABBtH14zxUz0EAw1Sh5KyUM8FzDbjIW_gEhzDVBOie9nf_QohdpD_h5YJBw.wMsmsfnPnqjTSCGchKJHlyrafGXkv3rBtXlQ2LxbIG4&dib_tag=se&keywords=you+are+not+forgotten+christine+hoover&qid=1712013370&sprefix=%2Caps%2C199&sr=8-1"><span style="font-weight: 400">You Are Not Forgotten </span></a></em></p> <p><em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/How-We-Love-Expanded-Discover-ebook/dp/B0067O7HXQ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1VOO8JE4UBCII&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.dIzQomDUeW7OBM4hvoMU1SkD3VPzV0KkpbcE0xi4aotLVg5gmjP8xz7rffxW-ZY-o_h3bXzhZm9Oesf2Hlt9S-8zKnZUc6CztWo9IeCYsSqryfZnbsKoWZpKPG2LoM7ZvJTEVS_vW_TmGZGrW9ELAQNXwnqDdk4_UwJUKDMhW84g2VIltXYmvzGUoI1s8DJdd9tj_elgA--HKgEDFCIkxwMlAlpf9s9RXZoLb4-Gdhk.dGs-aawKnczNG1g_kioX5ljVqkTA6oLZgP3x_qUlTUA&dib_tag=se&keywords=how+we+love&qid=1712013396&sprefix=how+we+lov%2Caps%2C109&sr=8-1"><span style="font-weight: 400">How We Love</span></a></em></p> <p><a href="https://www.crosspointministry.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400">Crosspoint Ministries </span></a></p> <h3>CONNECT</h3> <p><b>Connect with Christine</b></p> <p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/authorchristinehoover"><span style="font-weight: 400">Facebook</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> // </span><a href="http://www.instagram.com/christinehoover98"><span style="font-weight: 400">Instagram</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> // </span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Christine-Hoover/e/B008MNPR9Q?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_3&qid=1654022865&sr=8-3"><span style="font-weight: 400">Books</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Visit </span><a href="http://howtothriveasapastorswife.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400">How to Thrive as a Pastor’s Wife</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> to access Christine’s resources for ministry wives like you!</span></p> <p><b>Connect with NAMB</b></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/NAMB.SBC"><span style="font-weight: 400">Facebook</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> // </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/namb_sbc/"><span style="font-weight: 400">Instagram</span></a></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">Wisely navigating relationships between men and women is a vital but sometimes difficult conversation we need to be having with one another and our husbands. In this follow-up episode, long-time ministry wife and Ministry Wife Ministry Partner Amy Petersen helps walk us through the specifics of wisely cultivating these relationships. She stresses the importance of open communication regarding boundaries and how personality and baggage play into those boundaries. Amy and Christine also discuss the role of spiritual health and how it is critical to employing wisdom and discernment in this area. </span></p> <h3>SHOW NOTES</h3> <ul> <li><b>Create boundaries that both you and your husband are comfortable with.</b></li> </ul> <ul> <li><b>Assessing your spiritual health/maturity is critical for navigating these areas wisely. </b></li> </ul> <ul> <li><b>If you do have concerns regarding a relationship, lay them out before the Lord and ask Him for wisdom and then have a conversation with your husband.</b></li> </ul> <h3>QUOTES</h3> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="font-weight: 400">“There’s just really no set equation for how it should look. I think that it just needs to be customized based on what you’re comfortable with, as long as you’re healthy. That’s the other piece to this. Am I healthy? Is my husband healthy? Is this other person healthy? Healthiness is huge.”</span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="font-weight: 400">-Amy Petersen</span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="font-weight: 400">“I think sometimes in these situations, I might feel some things about somebody, but need to really discern, ‘Is this more of a me issue? Is this something going on with me or is this genuinely something I need to bring to my husband?’ I do think in general, if we have concerns, we should bring it to our husband, but we need to be very clear about what it is that we’re concerned about and what we’re requesting.”</span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="font-weight: 400">-Christine Hoover</span></em></p> <h3>CONNECT</h3> <p><b>Connect with Amy</b></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/arpetersen"><span style="font-weight: 400">Facebook</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> // </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/amyruthpetersen/"><span style="font-weight: 400">Instagram</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> //</span> <a href="https://carchatpodast.buzzsprout.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400">Podcast</span></a></p> <p><b>Connect with Christine</b></p> <p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/authorchristinehoover"><span style="font-weight: 400">Facebook</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> // </span><a href="http://www.instagram.com/christinehoover98"><span style="font-weight: 400">Instagram</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> // </span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Christine-Hoover/e/B008MNPR9Q?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_3&qid=1654022865&sr=8-3"><span style="font-weight: 400">Books</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Visit </span><a href="http://howtothriveasapastorswife.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400">How to Thrive as a Pastor’s Wife</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> to access Christine’s resources for ministry wives like you!</span></p> <p><b>Connect with NAMB</b></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/NAMB.SBC"><span style="font-weight: 400">Facebook</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> // </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/namb_sbc/"><span style="font-weight: 400">Instagram</span></a></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400">The Lord gifts each of us and our spouses so differently, and sometimes those giftings require sacrifices of different kinds as we respond to the call of the Lord in a given season. Singer/songwriter Caroline Cobb joins me today to describe her husband’s volunteer position as a lay elder at their church and how she supports him and the local church through that ministry. </span></p> <h3>SHOW NOTES</h3> <ul> <li><b>Though a lay elder is unpaid, their time is invaluable and vital to the health of the church. </b></li> </ul> <ul> <li><b>As a lay elder’s wife, wisdom needs to be employed to balance supporting your husband as he counsels others but also maintaining privacy of those walking through trials. </b></li> </ul> <ul> <li><b>You can support your elder husband and your church through consistent prayer.</b></li> </ul> <h3>QUOTES</h3> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="font-weight: 400">“I think when he is sharing with me what he needs support in. So I might not know all the details of a marriage that’s falling apart or who it even is, but I know that there’s a marriage falling apart and that he’s ministering to them. He won’t share their story because that’s their story to tell me. And yet, at the same time, if he didn’t tell me about it at all, I wouldn’t be able to support him and care for him as a wife. So it’s a little bit of a dance and there’s a lot of wisdom that needs to happen there.”</span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="font-weight: 400">-Caroline Cobb</span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="font-weight: 400">“As I’m praying for him, this is part of the way I’m serving our church. There’s freedom to serve in so many different ways, but part of the way I’m serving our church is by serving and loving and supporting my husband.”</span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="font-weight: 400">-Caroline Cobb</span></em></p> <h3>LINKS FROM THE SHOW</h3> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Advent-Exiles-Devotions-Awaken-Longing/dp/1430095849/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2GAZFQM43Q0O7&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.UAX1GQDQtBpHKIZbzQptg6UpX2iaUseO07_TKq0fWybasVsMV7MWD3kwP2RGf0hUiwinALVNuJsPcFtIgmI0xIzYFkKbA_tHgk-J-6DlDivisUx3184MsolsgKqPxQS3OEC6zobwzTFO8V2CRFqmPkQ_EmOR2036FanMPIULL3uBghWvy8sITi7shCsT_4JFeYh24kPl8BI6M8wK8t0TGwjWRKmNAhqgIdKTjglqBWs.K3Xu0j04aXXxHSWDg49EsKve2RhdAjwjqAMrMITg1MU&dib_tag=se&keywords=Caroline+cobb+book&qid=1711972532&sprefix=caroline+cobb+book%2Caps%2C75&sr=8-3"><span style="font-weight: 400">Advent for Exiles</span></a></p> <h3>CONNECT</h3> <p><b>Connect with Caroline</b></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/carolinecobbmusic"><span style="font-weight: 400">Facebook</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> // </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/carolinecobbmusic"><span style="font-weight: 400">Instagram</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> // </span><a href="https://www.carolinecobb.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400">Website</span></a></p> <p><b>Connect with Christine</b></p> <p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/authorchristinehoover"><span style="font-weight: 400">Facebook</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> // </span><a href="http://www.instagram.com/christinehoover98"><span style="font-weight: 400">Instagram</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> // </span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Christine-Hoover/e/B008MNPR9Q?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_3&qid=1654022865&sr=8-3"><span style="font-weight: 400">Books</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400">Visit </span><a href="http://howtothriveasapastorswife.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400">How to Thrive as a Pastor’s Wife</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> to access Christine’s resources for ministry wives like you!</span></p> <p><b>Connect with NAMB</b></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/NAMB.SBC"><span style="font-weight: 400">Facebook</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> // </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/namb_sbc/"><span style="font-weight: 400">Instagram</span></a></p>
