A few weeks ago Lori did a fun post where quite a few of us made a few Pastor Wife Confessions. My personal confession was when I’m at church I usually introduce myself as “Brandi” and leave off the “Wilson.”
I do it for a couple of reasons… I want their first impression to be of [...]

Is there a worse possible freeze frame? I think not. Quick hit play so that I won’t be embarrassed.
Confessions …
Posted in expectations, tagged expectations, minster's wife, pastor's wife on October 19, 2009 | 87 Comments »
Last week I wrote a little note to “I’m a bad pastor’s wife.”
That day I got this excellent tweet in response:
I thought that was a great idea … and a great confession. And since Jenn agreed to let me blog about it, here we go.
Confession 1: I don’t cook. I avoid it when at all [...]
Transition is Tough
Posted in Change, Criticism, expectations, leadership on September 23, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Yesterday, I read this article which reminded me of this post from a few weeks ago.
The bottom line … transition is tough. No matter who you are, or what your circumstances are, change is really difficult.
I’ve been talking to several people struggling right now in times of transition. Hang in there! Keep your eyes on [...]
You Asked … Required?
Posted in expectations, leadership on September 10, 2009 | 5 Comments »
A Senior Pastor’s wife asked me:
Do you require staff wives to come to events that you are doing?
Answer:
I don’t require people to come to my stuff. But, I’ll be honest, I’m super bummed if they don’t. I really want ladies to want to come. I do events because I really value time spent building community [...]
The Pedestal
Posted in expectations, leadership on September 8, 2009 | 5 Comments »
“A pedestal is as much a prison as any small, confined space.”
-Gloria Steinem
Let’s discuss.
Is it true?
How can we stay off the pedestal?
How can we encourage others not to place leaders there?
Thoughts?
Finding Our Limits
Posted in expectations, leadership, tagged boundaries, Donna Politz, leadership, limits, pastor's wife, pastor's wives on July 27, 2009 | 5 Comments »
When Donna and I were together, I cornered her one night and we shot quite a few video chats. If you missed the first two, you can see them here and here. But for now, here are some of our thoughts of finding limits and boundaries in leadership.
Would love to hear [...]
You Asked Pt 14
Posted in expectations on May 6, 2009 | 10 Comments »
Someone asked me last week: “How many pot-luck dinners do you cook for each week?”
My best guess is that this question came from someone who knows me way too well.
There is one reason why you will never see a recipe on this blog: I AM NO COOK!
The world is a better place since I try [...]
Fill in That Blank

Read this quote this week:
“When you’re married to an elected official in Washington, you are always, first and foremost, a political wife … In such a world, the standard public version of the political wife is sleek, silent, and supportive, as seen and unheard as a Victorian child.”
- Connie Schultz
I’m so glad I’m in ministry! [...]
Getting Schooled
Posted in Criticism, expectations, family, tagged education, leadership, ministry on February 4, 2009 | 18 Comments »
Sometimes it seems like everyone has an opinion about different aspects of our lives. Our kids education always seems to be one of them. Emma goes to public school here in Nevada, and Ethan will start Kindergarten there in the fall. What I hear more often than not is: Why aren’t your kids in a [...]
