Ministry Wives Weekend 2025
An annual gathering with Oklahoma Baptist ministry wives for refreshment, connection, and encouragement in Biblical truths and conversations relevant to the ministry wife life
“Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!”
Romans 11:33
Our special guest speaker is Kim Hardy, Dallas, Georgia (https://kimhardy.org). She is one of us- a ministry wife. Kim is passionate about teaching truth to her audience that can be fleshed out into everyday life. Whether she is teaching from the Bible or teaching leadership principles, her deep desire is to see her audience live purposeful and God-honoring lives. Kim is known for her challenging content, humor, and the inspiration she ignites in her audience.

Car Chat Podcast
Join Amy & Jamy as they chat in Amy’s car (the glorious and overtly common white Nissan Pathfinder) each month and chat about one woman of the Bible. Women need other women. We just LOVE that God includes the lives of real, broken women in the Bible and reveals how he loves, interacts, and redeems them. We are excited to surround ourselves with this community of women and be encouraged as we lean into Jesus. You don’t have to remain alone in your faith even when no one is around.

Counseling
Christian counseling is a wonderful tool God uses to help untangle some of our internal mess with a trained professional.
Counseling support is provided through the Edna McMillan State Mission Offering to pastors, paid church staff, and their dependents. This includes college students who are still dependent upon their families.
Adult children of pastors and staff members are not eligible. The objective of Oklahoma Baptists ministerial counseling support is to achieve assessment and stabilization. In other words, Oklahoma Baptists desire to assist with short-term, solution-focused therapy.
For information regarding Oklahoma Baptists’ Counseling, please contact Carly Snedeker, LADC-MH, with Wellness & Crisis Care Ministry at csnedeker@oklahomabaptists.org and 405-942-3800 x4506.
