Ministry Wives

As a ministry wife, your spouse has a vocation without a job description… and let’s be honest — sometimes it seems like ministry might be easier if she did have one. This podcast is for her! Hosted by Christine Hoover, your wife will listen in on authentic conversations from women in various ministry contexts about shared joys and challenges – and no topic is off-limits.
