10 Great Podcasts for the Pastor’s Wife

-

As pastors’ wives, you constantly pour yourselves into others. It seems sometimes like the work is never-ending. You pour ourselves into your husbands, your children, the ladies in your church, the children’s ministry leaders, your small group, and more. If you don’t find a way to replenish ourselves, you can quickly find yourself weary and discouraged with nothing left to give.

A simple way to fill back up again is to listen to podcasts. They’re free and available any time of day or night. Through podcasts, we have the opportunity to hear from some of today’s greatest preachers, authors, leaders, and creatives. You can learn new concepts, fascinating ideas, and find the encouragement we so desperately need.

When you listen to a podcast, you stop feeling lonely. You realize you're not alone in our struggles. There is somebody out there going through something similar and feeling the same way. You can find the inspiration we need to get back up, brush ourselves off, and keep serving in our homes and ministries.

A pastor's wife has a schedule already so full, adding one more thing may seem impossible. Consider incorporating listening to a podcast episode while you wash the dishes, clean the house, take a walk, drive, or even while you are showering and getting ready for the day. There are so many great podcasts to choose from.

Here is a list of ten podcasts to get you started:

#4 – The Pastor's Wife Life

Jacque Garner is a podcaster and blogger with a heart to encourage and inspire pastors' wives. With almost 30 years of experience being married to a pastor, she understands the joys and challenges that come with this unique calling. She believes that pastors' wives can embrace with joy whatever and wherever ministry takes them as they lean into God, abide in His Word, and allow the Holy Spirit to lead them by the hand.

#5 – Read-Aloud Revival

This podcast features Sadie Robertson from the popular TV show Duck Dynasty. The concept of her podcast is fresh and new. She asks just one question to her guests. “What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?” Starting with Bob Goff, author of Love Does and Everybody Always, and moving on to Cory Asbury, the songwriter who wrote Reckless Love, Sadie’s podcast is off to an exciting start.

    • David, We recognize that there is a wide variety of views within the worldwide Christian Church (with a capital “C”). If this article has stirred the pot or offended, that was not our intent. We value all those in service to the Lord and appreciate the role each plays whether preaching or supporting the one in the pulpit. There are a handful of podcasts on this list that would be good for a supporting spouse of any gender, like the first listing: https://careynieuwhof.com/mypodcast/. Thank you for your comment and for bringing your concerns to our attention. In Christ, Lauren Hunter
