When a Pastor's Wife Says 'I'm Done': Teresa Whiting's Story

What do you do when you've loved being a pastor's wife for two decades, and one morning you hear yourself say, "I'm done"? What do you do when a petition arrives by certified mail, signed by people you called friends? And what do you do when the bitterness scares you more than the wound?In this conversation, Teresa Whiting returns to talk honestly about a season that nearly took her out of ministry — and how the slow work of forgiveness, spoken out loud, broke something open. She and Andrea sit in the real cost of being hurt by the church while still loving the Bride of Christ, and name the cynicism that creeps in when we harbor hurt instead of bringing it to Jesus.You'll hear why Scripture, journaling, safe community, and stepping away matter — and why Jesus' invitation, "Come to me, all who are weary," is still the anchor. You are not alone.
