Revive Our Hearts monthly partner team.

Sometimes church members hold their pastor and his family to a higher standard.

Pastor's wife Mandy Love says she and her husband Stephen have tried to manage those

expectations.

From the beginning, we have been very honest.

You know, we say we are broken yet hopeful worshippers,

and that defines who we are.

We are broken just like you.

We are right there with you.

This is the Reviver Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth, author of Let's Go to Church.

Well, my friend, you are in for a treat today.

Here at Revive Our Hearts, we want to do everything we can to encourage you as a church member to minister to and be a blessing to your pastor or pastors and to their families and to other spiritual leaders in your life.

It's part of our emphasis here during Pastor Appreciation Month.

So we thought it might be helpful to just talk with some pastors and their wives

about their perspective on what's an encouragement and a blessing to them.
