What does it really mean to be a pastor’s wife—or a priest’s girlfriend? This week, Roxanne and Katelyn get candid about the often invisible, unpaid, and unspoken expectations placed on clergy spouses, especially women. With historian and bestselling author Beth Allison Barr (The Making of Biblical Womanhood) joining the conversation, we explore her latest book Becoming the Pastor’s Wife, which examines how marriage became the church’s go-to path for women’s ministry. Expect millennial girlboss satire, confessions, and a surprise hot priest appearance.

Listeners will walk away with fresh insight into how gender roles play out in ministry marriages, why the pastor’s wife role needs rethinking, and what happens when you're dating someone with a collar and a congregation.
