Pillar Women Ep. 13 - What We Wish We Knew as Ministry Wives

In this episode of the Pillar Women Podcast, Betsy Gómez and Sarah Rogers sit down for a warm and honest conversation about the lessons they wish they had learned earlier as ministry wives. With a lighthearted backstory and plenty of laughter, Betsy and Sarah reflect on the joys, tensions, limitations, and hidden graces of serving alongside their husbands in ministry. Together, they share twelve lessons shaped by years of church life, motherhood, repentance, and dependence on Christ.    Highlights “You will never meet people’s standards.” (Gal. 1:10; Prov. 29:25) “Instead of doing more, you need to dwell more in Christ.” (Jn. 15:4-5; Matt. 11:28-30) “The work in the home is also ministry.” (Titus 2:3-5; Deut. 6:6-7) “You are more influential than you think.” (Titus 2:7-8; Matt. 5:14-16) “Embrace the seasonality of life.” (Eccl. 3:1; Jn. 17:4) “Root your identity in Christ.” (Eph. 1:3-14; Col. 3:1-4) “Sinful comparison kills.” (2 Cor. 10:12; Heb. 12:1-2) “You are a church member.” (1 Cor. 12:12-27; Heb. 10:24-25) “Giftedness doesn’t override God’s order for the church.” (1 Tim. 2:12-15; 1 Tim. 3:1-7; Titus 2:3-5) “Embrace who God made you to be.” (Rom. 12:4-8; 1 Pet. 4:10-11) “You don’t need to have a degree to start discipling women in your local church.” (Titus 2:3-5) “You are not alone.” (Gal. 6:2; Heb. 3:13)   Dig Deeper * Where are you most tempted to live for people’s expectations rather than resting in Christ’s approval? * Are you trying to do more for Christ while neglecting to dwell with Christ? * How is God using hidden faithfulness in your home, family, or ordinary responsibilities as a ministry? * In this season of life, what work has God placed before you? * Are you relating to your church primarily through usefulness or through belonging to Christ’s body? * What other lessons have you learned as a ministry wife?
