Why I created Mrs. Youth Minister

I have only been a youth minister’s wife for one year, but I’ve been working alongside my husband (then boyfriend) for the past four years.

I’ve learned a lot in these four years, and even more since we’ve been married.

I didn’t exactly “grow up in the church,” but I knew who God was and my parents wanted me to have a relationship with him. We didn’t go to church every Sunday and Wednesday, and I was never part of a youth group.

So with that being said…I never thought I’d be a woman who would marry a youth minister or be involved in the lives of teenagers on a daily basis.

Now I absolutely love working with teenagers and showing them Christ’s love.

And while I love this opportunity to mentor and nurture youth to love Christ, sometimes it’s difficult being a youth minister’s wife let alone a wife.

That’s why I wanted to create this blog.

I’ve been to the other youth minister/pastor wives websites and blogs and while they are interesting and somewhat relatable, I feel like I can’t ever find the advice I’m looking for.

So this blog, I hope, will serve as a way to connect with other youth minister’s wives.

I want to be able to give one another practical tips on how to handle a houseful of teenagers, how to stay involved with the entire church and not just the youth ministry and also many other “tricks” on how to love God, live life and be an effective youth minister’s wife…not just to the youth, but our husbands as well.

So far it’s been an interesting journey, and I hope that this road trip through life and ministry will continue to reveal God’s will for each of us and His glory to the nations.
