If you’ve been in ministry for more than five minutes, you know it’ll stretch you, humble you, and teach you things you never expected to learn.    In this episode, I’m sharing 11 lessons I’ve learned over the last 11 years of serving in ministry — through different seasons, different roles, and a whole lot of trial and error. Some lessons came through sweet moments of seeing God move…and others came through frustration, burnout, or tears in the church parking lot (we’ve all been there).   Whether you’re leading, volunteering, or simply trying to support your spouse in ministry, I think you’ll find something in here that reminds you you’re not alone and that God really does use every season to grow us.   So grab your coffee (or your Chick-fil-A Diet Coke if it’s that kind of day), and let’s talk about what ministry has taught me...and maybe what it’s been teaching you too.   Don’t forget to hit subscribe and leave a rating and review if you found this episode helpful!   Join the Facebook group - The Youth Pastor's Wife Podcast Community - to connect with Kristen and other youth pastors' wives!   Have a question or topic suggestion for a future episode?
