Thank you for this post. I was struggling with my sermon for tomorrow and somehow listening to the podcast episode helped unlock something for me. Deeply appreciate your thoughtfulness. I'm also a Presbyterian pastor and it was good to hear your thoughts on your husband's vocation.
I just listened to this on your podcast and am now visiting your Substack. Your words, voice, and message overwhelmed me with emotion.
"Creator’s life shined out from the Word, giving light to all human beings."
"What a wonderful vessel of "Creator's life" you are through your words, music, and encouragement. Having shared similar experiences as a former pastor's wife, your stories of Edwin's care for your church members brought back many memories and touched me deeply.
I understand the doubt us writers endure while crafting our words into books, but know this: Giver of Breath is inspiring your words. Thank you for pushing through your fear to share them!
Thank for the introduction to the FNV. I am enjoying the spirit of the translation. Ministry work is as hard as it is rewarding. I thank Edwin to his faithful service. You too. Being a minister’s wife is a service as well.

Matt! I’m so glad. Hope it went well today! Keep going you’re almost at the finish line! 🎄🎄🎄🎄
Thanks. It actually went super well. I ended up closing with the words from Of The Fathers Love Begotten. Blessings to you in this season!
