“Let all that you do be done in love” (1 Corinthians 16:14) and “Speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into Him who is the head, into Christ” (Ephesians 4:15).
Pastors’ wives often find themselves navigating complicated interpersonal dynamics: Congregational expectations, unsolicited opinions, and the emotional weight of their husbands’ vocations. This webinar helps us discern what true Christian love looks like, clarifying the distinction between merely being “nice” and living out biblical love that is honest, wise, and grounded in Christ. How do we also navigate these personal/professional relationships? Well, we will explore how Scripture calls us to speak truth with humility, set godly boundaries, and practice love that builds up the Body of Christ rather than enabling harm or dysfunction.
You will have two opportunities to join us on Zoom, June 6 at 10 a.m. or 4 p.m.
