I will never stop crying about the final story I tell in Becoming the Pastor’s Wife. It is the story we used to frame our All The Buried Women podcast miniseries, too. It encapsulates why I am doing this work. It is for the women like Maria who have been forgotten by the history of our churches; the women whose voices have been taken away by our theologies and practices that privilege male power at the cost of women. Thank you, Savannah Locke, for helping me tell these stories.
