    Episode 228: Mary Read Interview - When You Pastor in Your Childhood Church
    Dec 22 2025

    In this episode, we sit down with Mary Read, a pastor’s wife, mom of three energetic boys, and lifelong learner with a heart for faith, family, and connection. Mary opens up about what it was like returning to the church she grew up in—yes, the very same pews, hallways, and people she knew as a kid—and navigating the unique mix of nostalgia, expectations, and change that came with it.


    Mary shares about the challenges of stepping back into familiar spaces, how past relationships evolve, and the importance of confidence in ministry. She offers practical encouragement for new pastors’ wives, emphasizing mentorship, healthy boundaries, and the grounding truth of Scripture. We also chat about her life outside ministry—long walks, fiction books, home-cooked meals, and her newfound tradition of Friday date days with her husband, Pastor Matt.


    This episode is full of wisdom, warmth, and real-life insight for pastors' wives in every season.

  • Spill the Tea: Christmas Traditions & Holiday Favorites

    Spill the Tea: Christmas Traditions & Holiday Favorites
    Dec 18 2025

    In this delightfully unhinged Christmas episode of Pastors’ Wives Tell All, we ask each other rapid-fire holiday questions and accidentally reveal way too much about our chaotic Christmas traditions. We’re talking favorite songs, family rituals, foods we could eat year-round, and why cookie-decorating might actually be a spiritual discipline. We finish with heartfelt holiday wishes and a Christmas carol sing-along that absolutely no one asked for—but you’re getting it anyway.

    Dec 15 2025
    In this episode, we sit down with Hannah Kurtz, a pastor’s wife, homeschool mama, and soon-to-be mom of six, to share the twists and turns of her family’s ministry journey. Hannah and her husband, Thor, began full-time ministry in 2017, eventually following a mission-trip “divine detour” to Lincoln, Illinois, where Thor now serves as the youth pastor at Open Arms.Hannah opens up about their transition to a new church—including the unique challenge of living on a college campus in the middle of being converted into their church campus. She shares honestly about grieving the move, navigating ministry on unfamiliar ground, and the quiet emotional weight pastors’ wives often carry.With humor (yes, Thor collects strange items just to scare people), warmth, and deep faith, Hannah talks about community support, prayer, and the unexpected joy of watching God’s provision—like her son praying for a baby brother before they even knew one was coming. Her story is full of resilience, hope, and the reminder that ministry transitions are hard… but never walked alone.Key TakeawaysA mission trip led them to an unexpected new calling in Lincoln, IL.They lived on a college campus while it was being transformed into the church campus.Transitioning to a new church brought emotional challenges and grief.Community support is essential for pastors and their families.Prayer played a major role in their family’s story—from ministry decisions to a son praying for a baby brother.Having a strong network of pastors’ wives makes all the difference.God’s faithfulness is evident in every twist, detour, and new beginning.Get all the info about our next pastors’ wives retreat and apply here:https://www.pastorswivestellall.com/attendaretreatTo purchase the BOOK, head here: ⁠https://pastorswivestellall.com/book⁠⁠To shop our MERCH, head here: ⁠https://pastorswivestellall.com/shop⁠⁠Want to support the Pastors’ Wives Tell All podcast ministry?
