Shelby Camo 3:45 Seven Minutes on resources for Preacher’s Wives:

Your relationship with God - Your consistent habit of studying and praying (See resources below for ideas on study and increasing your faith).
Your family is the second greatest resource for you. Involve them in ministry (This is not just dad’s job) but also do not neglect your family and their emotional needs. Make sure your marriage is strong. Your children need to know you love them and want to answer their questions, too. Weekly family dinner with no guests (Pick a day of the week, make it a special family time). Family bible time every night so your children are being taught every day by their father (This helps your children know that their souls are just as important as the other people we teach every day). Regular date night with husband. Put it in the shared calendar. Encourage your husband to take a day off if the elders allow during the week since the weekends are slam-full. Use this day not just for yard work, but time for him to spend with children one-on-one. Then once a month, your husband keeps the kids so you can get out by yourself. All of these things help our family stay close and allow us to continue to work in ministry TOGETHER.
Your Home - Hospitality is a huge resource. Fill up your table! Fill up your home with those in the congregation and those who don’t know The Truth. This is a book not written by a member of the church so chew up the fish and spit out the bones, but it really made an impact on how I see my home and how to practically use it in ministry: “The Simplest Way To Change the World” by Dustin Willis.

Seven Minutes of Wisdom: Does Retelling a Story Count as Gossip?

Wednesday August 19, 2026 3:45pm - 4:30pm EDT

Ballroom C

Here are some questions we can ask ourselves before we share the story:

Is it yours to share? Is it about you or did someone share it with you in confidence? Proverbs 20:19 “Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets; therefore do not associate with a simple babbler.”
Does it paint the person you’re talking about in a good light? 1 Corinthians 13 talks about what love is - it doesn’t expose, it protects. When you tell that story, are you protecting the one it’s about?
Would you say it if the person was sitting right there? Proverbs 18:8 “The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels…”
Would you tell the story if an elder, your husband, or a godly older woman were listening? Speak like someone is listening who we want to be like. Titus 2:3-5 “Not slanderers, to be self-controlled, kind…”
Is it true? Every fact, every detail. Colossians 3:8 “Do not lie to one another seeing that you have put off the old self…” or Proverbs 16:28 “A dishonest man spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends.”
Is it looking to the interest of self or others? Phil. 2:3-4 “Do nothing from selfish ambition, but look to the interests of others.” Or proverbs 26:20 “For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases.”
Is it kind? Ephesians 4:32 “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”
