When we are unsatisfied, the Word of God is what we need to become satisfied. The deeper the hunger, the greater the need for the Word of God. He will meet us where we are and provide what we need for greater understanding of His love, wisdom and healing to be at peace in whatever circumstance ❤️ You are not alone.

There is none righteous, no not one (Romans 3:10). But, 1 John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Then we can be used in God's righteousness to pray for our husbands and families, our churches, and others. Watch God move and speak through the pure heart He has renewed and cleansed within you when He makes you righteous ❤️

We face less disappointment and dissolutionment when we align our hearts with God's desires for our lives. We can plan all we want, but following the One who controls everything and ordains everything will bring us closer to taking the steps He has already planned for us, which are always the best for us, and it is He who paves the way. He is a good, good Father ❤️

Your Regional Team wishes to invite you to the FIRST official regional gathering, Friday, February 10th at 7pm. We want to make sure OUR regional wives KNOW what’s happening and encourage you to COME along with any other ministry wives serving in your church nearby SBCV churches! The evening will consist of dessert and fun group games with the opportunity to relax and meet other ministry wives in your area as we seek to form deeper relationships over time. Your calling and encouragement in the ministry is so very valuable, and we could use this time to be refreshed and ready for the season ahead.❤️

🎉 FUN ANNOUNCEMENT!🎉

We're two weeks away from the launch of my new podcast, "Ministry Wives," and today you can get a sneak peek of what's to come by listening to the trailer.

In the trailer (linked below), I pop in to tell you what the new podcast is all about, as well as what you can expect in the first season. The guests I've interviewed are STELLAR; you'll be encouraged, challenged, and you'll walk away with some great practical tips for various aspects of your life and ministry.

I've linked to "Ministry Wives" in Apple Podcasts, but if you listen to podcasts on a different platform, find me there and hit that subscribe button. On August 15, I'll be launching the first of 16 weekly episodes that will come out in 2022.

A little backstory: you may know that for about four years, I hosted a podcast called By Faith. .sbc asked me to relaunch By Faith as "Ministry Wives" and bring it under their growing podcast network. I now get to focus on a demographic I love, and I get to work with an entire production team that has been and is hard at work preparing these episodes to serve you.

Another point of good news: all of my old episodes from By Faith are still available! In fact, if you're new to me and can't wait for "Ministry Wives" to kickoff, feel free to take a deep dive in the meantime into old interviews with pastors' wives and women in ministry at the very same link below.

I'm looking forward to this new adventure with you!

Here's the trailer: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ministry-wives-with-christine-hoover-an-introduction/id1341513188?i=1000574627858

P.S. Be sure and let other ministry wives know about this new podcast and our growing community. Simply tag a PW friend or two below and invite them to join us!
