Now I don't like the idea of calling the pastor wife first lady....this idea has never went over well with me and it probable never will.....but in my opinion there's only one first lady in our country.....and right now that first lady happen to be Michelle Obama....this is my opinion and in no way do I mean to be disrespectful to Ms.Lois Evan or any other pastor wife who are recognize by that title....I have read Ms. Evans testimony of how the idea for this conference came about.....and I think it's good she's able to encourage other wives with her conferences....it's the conference name that I don't care for...why not just say a conference for pastor wives?
My husband, Dr. Tony Evans, could go to conferences and network with other pastors, but there weren't any things like that for me. At first, I struggled to live up to an image of what a pastor's wife should be. But when Tony told me he just wanted me to be me, it represented a real turning point.My experience led me to create the First Lady Conference for senior pastors' wives, so these often overlooked women could be educated and encouraged.(p.s) Kirk Franklin with be tonight speaker....didn't know Kirk did speaking engagements!
