BEC exists to help those married to ministry leaders form identity in Christ, cultivate a hidden space with God, discover a ministry within the call, and create a life they love—where identity is formed beside the calling, not lost within it.

Where’s the line?

A text. A lunch. A hug. A friendship.

Most boundaries in ministry aren’t tested by one big decision. They’re tested in small moments that can feel completely harmless.

In Episode 18, we’re having an honest conversation about opposite-s*x relationships in ministry—and the guardrails that can protect your marriage, your reputation, and the people you serve.

Not because we live in fear.

Because our marriages are worth protecting.

Episode 18 of Beside Every Calling is live now.

Listen wherever you get your podcasts or watch on YouTube.

With Death of a Pastor’s Wife bringing difficult conversations about marriage and ministry to the surface right now, this feels like an especially important time to talk about what healthy guardrails can look like.

Marriage in ministry can come with some unique relationships, expectations and situations.

So what guardrails help protect your marriage?

This week we're talking honestly about boundaries with the opposite s*x, communication between spouses, and why deciding your guardrails before an uncomfortable situation happens can matter.

A new episode of Beside Every Calling drops Thursday, September 10.

What guardrail has helped protect your marriage?

When was the last time someone asked about your dream—not your spouse’s, not the ministry’s, yours?

Supporting someone else’s calling doesn’t mean your dreams disappear. You are still allowed to learn, create, build and pursue something that matters to you.

What dream is quietly growing in you? Share it below—even if it’s only a few words—so this community of ministry spouses can cheer you on.

Ministry has a way of keeping your mind one season ahead.

But you are allowed to be present in the life you’re living now.

What is one thing you want to make room to enjoy this September?

Wait… how are we JUST discovering there’s a Pastor’s Spouse Appreciation Day?

Apparently, it’s today. And honestly, we think you deserve more than one day.

So to every pastor’s spouse quietly loving, serving, cheering, adapting, moving, showing up—and occasionally smiling through something that absolutely should have been an email—we see you.

Today, we celebrate YOU. Not just what you do. Not just who you’re married to. You.

Happy Pastor’s Spouse Appreciation Day!

Loads of love,
Jill & Debbie

Apparently World Beard Day is a thing… and we couldn’t just let that pass without a little fun.

Ministry spouses, we want to see the beards!

If your spouse is sporting a beard, drop a picture of him in the comments.

And if YOU are the male ministry spouse with the beard, we definitely want to see yours too.

Bonus points: tell us where in the world you’re joining us from.

Let’s fill the comments with beards from around the world today.

Happy National Beard Day from Beside Every Calling!

Every ministry spouse brings something different to the calling.

Maybe you remember everyone’s name. You make people feel welcome. You’re a great listener. You can organize anything. You sing or play the piano-or both.

Or maybe your superpower is knowing exactly when it’s time to quietly slip out the side door — if that’s your superpower, please share your secrets. 😉

There’s no one right way to be a ministry spouse — and we love that!

What’s YOUR ministry-spouse superpower?

Comparison tells us we need to be more like her.

More confident. More gifted. More outgoing. A different kind of ministry spouse.

But God didn’t call you to become someone else.

In today’s episode, Jill and Debbie talk honestly about comparison, how it steals our joy, and the freedom that comes when we stop measuring our lives against someone else’s.

You get to be you.

Beside Every Calling | Episode 17: When Comparison Creeps Into Ministry is LIVE NOW.

Listen wherever you get your podcasts or watch on YouTube.

09/02/2026

Comparison doesn’t only change how we see ourselves. It can change how we see the people we love.

In this week’s episode, Debbie shares honestly about comparing her husband to other husbands — and learning to love him for who he is, not who she wished he would be.

Jill and Debbie talk about how comparison can quietly steal our joy in marriage, ministry and life.

Episode 17 drops tomorrow.

Where has comparison crept into your life?

When did we decide only the BIG things were worth celebrating?

As ministry spouses, we can be really good at finishing one thing and immediately moving on to the next need, the next Sunday, the next event, the next person.

This week, let’s stop long enough to celebrate something SMALL.

The conversation went better than you expected.
You finally finished the thing that’s been hanging over you.
You made someone feel welcome.
You tried something new.
You made it through a really full week.

It counts.

So consider this your permission to add a little confetti to an ordinary win.

And we want to celebrate WITH you.

What’s one small win from your life right now?

Drop it in the comments — big or small, we’ll cheer for it with you.
