Hey friends!

Thanks so much for your support and encouragement over the last six months. I’ve been blogging about vocational ministry since 2014, but the new site- Good Pastor’s Wife– didn’t become a thing until summer of 2021. It’s still a work in progress, so thanks for your patience as I carve out what I hope is a welcoming, safe, and inspiring space for ministry wives around the world.

Speaking of around the world, here’s a look GPW’s reach in 2021.

The top countries we’re reaching on a daily basis include:

• the United States
• various countries in Africa
• Canada
• the United Kingdom
• India

Top posts from 2021:

• A Word to Preacher’s Wives: 10 Things You Should Know
