Thank you for telling our (pastors’ wives) story. I feel this intro on many levels. I’m looking forward to reading your book and have already preordered.
It amazed me how at my old church a young woman was immediately placed on the woman’s ministry teaching team (preaching to hundreds of women) just because she had married a pastor. It didn’t matter if she had any biblical studies education background. This happened to all of them. They were expected to teach just because they were now pastor’s wives. (That church was heavily influenced by the Master’s Seminary and Southern Seminary.)
I’m not involved in the women’s Bible study at my current church (the only women’s ministry opportunity my current church has), so I don’t know if the pastors’ wives are expected to lead there. (I doubt it.)

Just ordered it. Thank you, Beth for your love for Jesus and his church. You are an important and needed voice!!
