Have you ever felt lonely while standing in a room full of people?

In this solo mini episode (which is ironically about isolation 😂), I share just a little of my own journey of quietly pulling back, hiding behind the title of "pastor's wife," and believing the lie that she didn't need to take the first step toward community.  Be reminded that isolation doesn't always mean being alone it can happen while sitting right in the middle of church. If you've ever struggled to find your place in ministry, this episode is for you.
