Part-1, On today's episode our guest is Jackie Hayden from Gladewater Texas. We meet through Mary R Snyder in the Facebook group Take the Stage Speakers. When we shared our stories within the group on the same day, we knew our hurts where a lot alike and connected right away. Jackie shares her story of hurt in the ministry as a pastor's wife. She shares how she overcame that hurt & refuses to stay in that hurt with Jesus by her side. Her and her pastor husband have been marriage 48 years and been in the ministry together for 43 years. They pastored very successful churches throughout their years in the ministry. Until that day came in 2012 and everything changed when they were asked to leave the church they were with for 12 years with no explanation as to why or what they did wrong. Then had two days to clean out his office. She questions if this is what God wants or what people want? Felt betrayed and hurt by God's people. It ruined them financially then lead them to file bankruptcy. They struggled for hers. They spent 7 years without a church home. Wondered why isn't God using us? Had God forgotten about us? While talking to her cousin she was sharing her bitterness, anger & hurt with her. And her cousin asked her a question, Is God enough? The question opened her eyes, and ears spiritually. Is God enough? She realized that yes God is enough. And the hurt was an opportunity for God to work in her heart, and her life and God would work things out his way. She had forgotten that God was her strength. She had forgotten that God was her joy. And God restores her heart, and her joy. She clings to Jer. 29:11, Ps. 42:11. Jackie has helped to start a ministry network for other pastor's wife to be together and a safe place for them to share in her area. And now shares her story at ladies events and offers life coaching to other women and pastor's wife. God put her on a new path in this life and is doing everything she can to help women on their path in life. Jackie would love to share her story at your next lady's event. She is available to speak to your women, and ministers’ wives in your area, how with Jesus she won the victory over hurt as a pastor's wife.
