Pastors' Wives Tell All

“Stephanie, Jessica, and Jenna beautifully celebrate their roles as pastors’ wives while reminding those who share this title that they are unique daughters of God with a story, a calling, and individual personality and style. This is the book I wish my mom could have read as a pastor’s wife, and one you will want to share with yours. Grab a tissue to catch your tears of laughter and relief. You aren’t alone, dear pastors’ wives, and you are so very loved.”

Natalie Runion

“out of Stephanie, Jenna, and Jessica as they capture the hard, the holy, and the hilarious of this important but often unspoken role. Whether you are a pastor’s wife or you know a pastor’s wife, this book will encourage your soul, direct your prayers, and empower you to love God’s church well.”

Michelle Myers

“Pastors’ Wives Tell All is the book every pastor’s wife needs to feel seen, understood, and encouraged in a role that is immensely important yet surprisingly isolating and challenging at times. While reading the relatable words and stories from Stephanie, Jenna, and Jessica, pastors’ wives will laugh and cry—but more importantly walk away feeling permission to be human, love God, and confidently live the call they have on their own life: to be the unique pastors’ wives God has called them to be.”

Quinn Kelly

“Finally, a book that gets real and relatable about topics the church typically avoids. These pastors’ wives are not preaching at you; they are getting deep in the muck with you. This book is a must-read if you want to laugh, cry, and feel empowered to keep chasing Jesus.”

Christy Boulware

“Pastors’ Wives Tell All is a refreshing breath of honesty and humor that reminds us that even in the holiest of places, life can be wonderfully, delightfully human. This book is a warm hug from women who really believe and live out the truth that God never called us to be superhuman, no matter what our role or title may be. In a world that can often feel isolating and demanding, Pastors’ Wives Tell All will instantly make you feel as if you’re sitting on the couch with your girlfriends and sipping a cup of coffee, all while learning how to live more wisely and love more deeply. What a beautiful ride it is.”

Lindsey Maestas

“Pastors’ Wives Tell All is a gift to ministry leaders who feel alone and to those in the congregation who could use a behind-the-scenes peek at the real struggles of their leaders. As a former pastor’s kid, I am thankful the authors approach this subject authentically yet humorously. I will recommend this resource to ministry leaders from all walks of life in my counseling practice.”

Rachael Gilbert

“If you are looking for a book for pastors’ wives that’s neatly tied in a bow, is void of struggle, and maybe sounds good but is sanitized of real-life experience, THIS IS NOT THAT BOOK. Between these three women, they’ve seen it all. If you’d consider yourself anything but a stereotypical pastor’s wife, this book will encourage you to keep going, remember where your identity lies, and never seek approval from the opinions of well-intentioned church members. God has called you to an important work, and Stephanie, Jenna, and Jessica will help you stay on mission (oh, and laugh a lot)!”

Rebecca George

“Authentic and hilarious! This is comprehensive encouragement for every aspect of pastor’s wife life. Stephanie, Jessica, and Jenna have woven together a book that’s as seamless as their Instagram dance routines. If you’re married to a man in ministry, this book will help you feel seen and understood in your unique role.”

Heather Creekmore

“twenty years, and I’ve witnessed how church leadership and ministry can be a lonely, confusing space to navigate. In Pastors’ Wives Tell All, Stephanie, Jessica, and Jenna open a welcoming door into their hard-won wisdom and winsome stories. These pages offer a field manual of sorts, promising that none of us is really alone and this ministry road not only is possible to navigate but can be a place of growth, freedom, grace, and hope.”

Carrie Stephens

“Being a woman in the spotlight at church is HARD. Your parenting, your marriage, even your clothes are under the microscope. And Jessica, Stephanie, and Jenna get it. They’re like your funny best friends, cheering you on as you learn to put down the masks you’re hiding behind, embrace authenticity (even if it makes tongues wag!), and find delight in serving God again.”
