Life is hard, and rushing through it only causes us to miss what God is doing right in front of us. In this episode, Amanda Ball-Knight shares why staying present—especially in both joy and sadness—matters more than having life perfectly planned. This conversation is an invitation to slow down, embrace the moment God has you in, and learn to dwell fully in the life you’re living.

Have you ever felt like you’ve lost yourself somewhere in the middle of ministry?

In this episode of The Pastor Wife Life Podcast, Jacque sits down with Carrie Brown — a pastor’s wife and licensed marriage and family therapist — for an honest, hope-filled conversation about identity, mental health, boundaries, and what it looks like to dwell in who God says you are.

Together, they talk about:

• Why so many pastor’s wives struggle with people-pleasing and imposter syndrome
• The difference between striving to meet expectations and resting in God’s truth
• How faith and therapy work together in healing
• Setting biblical boundaries without guilt
• Learning to ask, “Who told you that?” when lies and self-criticism creep in

If you’re feeling unseen, overwhelmed, or unsure of who you are beyond your role, this episode is an invitation to slow down, lean in, and remember that God hasn’t lost you — and your identity is secure in Christ.

Reset with Encouragement ✨

Encouragement isn’t small—it’s powerful.

In Day 11 of the Pastor Wife Life 2026 Reset, we talk about how your words carry weight, how encouragement shapes the emotional culture of your church, and how a simple kind word can strengthen a weary heart—including your own.

Today’s challenge is simple: encourage one woman.
It’s inexpensive, but it makes a huge impact.

Reset Your Boundaries ✨

Boundaries aren’t unspiritual.
They’re biblical, wise, and protective.

In Day 10 of the Pastor Wife Life 2026 Reset, we talk about why boundaries matter, how Jesus modeled them, and how setting just one healthy boundary can protect your calling, your home, and your heart.

Reset with Gratitude ✨

Gratitude isn’t pretending things aren’t hard.
It’s choosing to remember who God is, even in the middle of them.

In Day 9 of the Pastor Wife Life 2026 Reset, we talk about how gratitude shifts the atmosphere, realigns your heart, and becomes spiritual warfare when life feels heavy.

Pause today. Look for the small things. And let thankfulness anchor your soul.

Reset Your Vision for 2026 ✨

Vision isn’t about doing more—it’s about aligning your heart with God.

In Day 8 of the Pastor Wife Life 2026 Reset, we pause to seek God’s vision for you—not just for your church or your husband, but for who He’s shaping you to become in this next season.

Reflection Questions:
• Who is God asking you to become in 2026?
• How does God see you in this next season?
• What rhythms do you need to cultivate?
• Where do you sense God leading you?
• What needs to shift, soften, strengthen, begin, or end?

Take a quiet moment, pray, listen, and write down what God places on your heart—a word, scripture, or invitation for the year ahead.

Reset Your Identity 💛

Before the roles.
Before the expectations.
Before ministry ever felt heavy…

You were a daughter of God.

In Day 7 of the Pastor Wife Life 2026 Reset, we’re pressing reset on identity—letting go of labels, performance, and pressure, and anchoring ourselves in who God says we are.

Reset Through Rest ✨

Ministry doesn’t slow down… but God invites us to rest.

In today’s episode of the Pastor Wife Life 2026 Reset Series, we’re talking about real, God-designed rest — not as a reward, but as obedience.

Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is pause, breathe, and rest.
