The Ugly Truth

Posted in Criticism, Spiritual Growth, leadership on November 10, 2009 | 14 Comments »

I’m a people pleaser. Yep … I surely am.
I like for people to like me. No. That probably isn’t true. I need people to like me.

It’s my second week at Leading and Loving It and I decided to jump right in and tackle a topic that’s not fun… misery!

Today I officially join Leading and Loving It as a contributor… and I couldn’t be more excited.  Let me fill you in a little about my journey, I’ve spend most of the last 12 years or so “wandering” in the role of pastor’s wife.  To take it to another level, in a lot of ways [...]

Who’s Your Pastor?

Posted in Relationships, Spiritual Growth, leadership on September 29, 2009 | 14 Comments »

A couple of weeks ago, Jud and I were at a little conference with Compassion International. At lunch we sat next to this great pastor from Louisiana. He brought up a couple of things that have had me thinking over the last few days.
Here’s one. Our new friend leaned across our chicken salads and looked [...]

Virtual Roundtable

Posted in Relationships, Spiritual Growth, leadership, tagged , , , , on September 27, 2009 | 16 Comments »

Many of us would love to be able to get together with other pastor’s wives. Glean some encouragement and wisdom. Connect with new people. Laugh and have fun.

Right now Tiff and I are finishing up our Beth Moore study Jesus: 90 Days with the One and Only. It has been really good. Our conversation has been both encouraging and challenging. Next, we might do David: 90 Days with a Heart Like His.  In my school mom’s group, we [...]
