In the Lutheran Church- Missouri Synod, only men can be ordained as pastors. The men who come to the seminary have a well paved road ahead of them. The women who come with those men don't. As women, we ask ourselves, \"Who am I in this process?\" and \"Where do I fit?\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKate never envisioned herself as a pastor's wife; in fact, she wasn't sure she wanted to be one. Yet, if God was leading her husband into the ministry, who was she to say \"No?\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnd what was it about that term \"pastor's wife,\" that made her uneasy, anyway? What did it even mean to be a pastor's wife in the modern day?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt the seminary, Kate started talking to other women who had faithfully followed their husbands on the path to ministry. Through a series of more than fifty interviews, she learned that the journey of becoming a pastor's wife is rich with questions, discovery, and joy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFaith to Follow\u003c\/em\u003e chronicles the woman's experience of preparing to become a pastor's wife. It also may be a springboard for dialogue within churches across America, about the importance of encouraging and cultivating future church leaders and raising up strong families in the Christian faith.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e WestBow Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/24\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781664205796\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.55d","brand":"Kate Meadows","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38018979659957,"sku":"9781664205796","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_7ac600bc-b768-4e0e-97f9-0dc6d2ed0338.jpg?v=1609170938","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/faith-to-follow-the-journey-of-becoming-a-pastors-wife-9781664205796","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
