Hi, I'm Ashley!

I'm your host, a fellow pastor’s wife, mom of four amazing kiddos, and a follower of Jesus who is passionate about encouraging women in every season of life. I have the privilege of being married to my best friend, Jimmy, who serves as the Lead Pastor at First Christian Church in Canton, Ohio.

Life in ministry is a beautiful blend of joy, challenges, laughter, and faith-building moments. Through the years, I've learned that pastor's wives often carry unique experiences that are best navigated together. That's why The Pastor Wife Life Podcast was created. It’s for pastor’s wives to find encouragement, authentic community, practical resources, and a reminder that they are not walking this journey alone.

When I'm not busy with our kids, serving alongside my husband, or connecting with women in ministry, you'll usually find me enjoying a good cup of coffee or a Coke Zero and browsing Pinterest for projects I want Jimmy to do.

My prayer for you, my fellow pastor’s wives, is that The Pastor Wife Life becomes a safe and uplifting space for you to grow in your faith, build meaningful friendships, and be refreshed for the calling God has placed on your life.

I'm so glad we get to share this journey!

A Special Thank You

The Pastor Wife Life would not be what it is today without the vision, dedication, and heart of its founder, Jacque Garner. Her passion for encouraging and connecting pastor wives created a beautiful community that has impacted so many women. I am deeply grateful for the foundation she has built and honored to continue carrying that vision forward. Thank you, Jacque, for your faithfulness, leadership, and the legacy you have created.
