024: A Big, Happy Life with Whitney Putnam
Every season I hop on and chat about the topic we have been discussing. This season we've been talking all about freedom and I want to share something near and very dear to my heart. How we can set our pastor's wives free. The pressure of the local church can sometimes be overwhelming. Therefore we have leaders experiencing the pressure and either burning out, checking out or sadly taking their own lives. I don't have a world of solutions, but I do have my own story and practical tips to free our pastor's wife specifically. If you aren't a "...
