  • Balancing Faith & Finances: What Ministry Couples Should Know with Dr. Hance Dilbeck
    Apr 14 2025

    Are you looking for fresh insight into the money matters of your household? Do you find yourself wondering if compensation conversations need to happen for your husband? Today, I spend time with Dr. Hance Dilbeck, the president and chief executive officer of Guidestone Financial Services. Pulling from his 30 years of pastoral ministry experience and almost 40 years of marriage to his wife Julie, Dr. Dilbeck shares the essentials for ministry couples to thrive financially, as well as how your values, mutual involvement, and willingness to ask for help can change the outcome of your family’s financial story for generations to come.

  • How to Serve Where You are Planted with Susan E. Field
    Apr 7 2025

    What should you do when you feel like your ministry calling is different from your husband’s? In this episode of the Ministry Wives podcast, I get to engage in a heartfelt discussion with Susan Field—a seasoned pastor’s wife, mom of two sons, and former NYC urbanite—all about the complexities of navigating ministry passions in the various spaces the Lord calls us to. Tune in as we take a deep dive into the heavy expectations placed on ministry wives, insights into parenting and discipling in the city, and what it looks like to step out in obedience as you pursue your passions for the glory of the Lord.
