Today, The Rev. and Renata celebrate 15 years of marriage. Woo-hoo! Now, we don’t know if they will be singing “It’s Our Anniversary” all day, representing that classic 1993 hit from Tony! Toni! Toné!, but maybe they should. Regardless, in this episode they stop in to chat about, well…marriage, what it is and what it isn’t, and how much hard work, grace, and love it takes to make it through. They are not experts, but are grateful for how God continues sustaining them, despite their many hiccups along the way. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with Rev James Instagram ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with TWU Student MinistriesFollow us on Instagram

Rev'd Dr. James Ellis III & Renata Ellis | It's Their Anniversary

Karen Stiller

In this episode, The Rev. has a conversation with Karen Stiller and, wouldn’t you know it (surprise, surprise), his wife, Renata, about their shared experiences being married to pastors. Karen is an accomplished writer, senior editor of Faith Today, and the author of The Minister’s Wife: A Memoir of Faith, Doubt, Friendship, Loneliness, Forgiveness, and More. And she loves to laugh. In Renata’s former career, she worked in the trenches of urban education (earning two master’s degrees along the way), as a Special Education teacher and administrator. She is passionate about authentic Christian community, discipling young women, and ice cream! Oh, and she also loves to laugh.   Being married to a pastor is challenging for lots of reasons. It can be isolating, riddled with inequity, unstable, and draining. But there is another side, as well. Holy moments are experienced, and holy relationships of mutuality and accountability can be built, like what we see between Renata and Karen. What a joy it is when pastor’s wives find listening ears and sisters-in-Christ to share life with. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with Karen Instagram ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with TWU Student MinistriesFollow us on Instagram
