Jeana Floyd |
This month we are honored at Contagious Joy to introduce you to Jeana Floyd. I know that many of you know her by sight and from the conferences at the SBC but this is a precious Pastor's Wife. A Great friend and a treasure to her husband, children, and church. I sat down with her at the SBC in Phoenix this summer. We had a great conversation concerning her life as a minister's wife. (32 years and counting!)
She is the wife of Dr. Ronnie Floyd, who is pastor of Cross Church in Northwest Arkansas. She is the mother of two sons: Josh, who is married to Kate, and Nick, who is married to Meredith. She is also, a grandmother of four, and the author of the book
"An Uninvited Guest,"published in 2007 - her own personal story of surviving breast cancer. And her latest book "10 Things Every Minister's Wife Needs to Know." This month we will take a look at her latest book and discuss in our forum the very things that will sustain us as we surrender to the "high call" of ministry! Jeana says,
"In ministry, survival can mean a lot of things - such as the difference between "existing in a place and "thriving" in a place of ministry. It can mean you surviving your husband's job joyfully, or grudgingly. One thing is for sure, your survival and the way you feel about ministry are critical to your husband's success."
For the next two weeks take a look at part of the interview from our time in Phoenix. Go to the forums on www.contagiousjoy4him.com to check out the "10 Things" that Jeana says we all need to know as a minister's wife. Post your comment and be entered in the CJ's great giveaway! (see the column to the right for details - It's another Ipad2!)
