The Interview With First Lady Patrice Kirksey

from Growing The Leader Within · host Dr Gayla Holley

When a Pastor goes to Heaven, his wife is often left carrying not only the weight of deep personal grief, but also the responsibility of continuing to lead and shepherd the church they built together. In the midst of mourning the loss of her husband, she may also struggle with the loss of identity, purpose, and the life she once knew as a ministry partner. Yet even in this painful season, God remains faithful to guide her steps, strengthen her heart, and remind her that her calling and her life are not over. The Lord is able to breathe new hope into broken places, giving wisdom for each day, comfort for every tear, and direction for the road ahead. Though the journey through grief is difficult, God’s promises assure her that she is not abandoned, and that a new season of purpose, healing, and strength can still rise from the ashes of loss.  This interview will greatly encourage the hearts of every widowed ministers wife.  Music 'Sacred Secrets' by Dr Gayla Holley is available on every major platform.  GGM Books and materials are available on Amazon.  Find out all the details on our website.  www.griefguideministries.com
