For the last episode of the series "So, you want to be..." Dr. Aljoe is chatting with First Ladies to find out why some women are focused on wanting to marry a man with a title in the church. We talk about the importance of knowing the difference between "that's my Pastor" and "that's my Husband". Questions about aligning your purpose with your husband's purpose and more are discussed.

Time to hear from the ladies
In Dr. Aljoe's current Conversations with Christian Leaders series "So, you want to be..." we are exploring what it really means to serve in leadership positions. We sometimes glamorize positions without understanding the sacrifices, challenges, and painful parts of ministry.

Here we go! The next series in DIG DEEP: Conversations with Christian Leaders "So, you want to be..." is going to help us get real-life experiences from people that are walking the walk and talking the talk.
We can often glamorize leadership positions in the church but rarely talk about the challenges, obstacles, and setbacks of leading people. Dr. Aljoe's next series will focus on talking to Pastors, First Ladies, Elder's Wife, and more.
Let's talk about starting your own ministry, pastoring your family members, taking over an established church, celebrity pastor culture, and more!
