Episode 46: Christine Hoover

On this episode of the FTC Podcast, Jared Wilson speaks with Christine Hoover — host of the "By Faith" Podcast, pastor's wife, and author of several books, including Messy Beautiful Friendship and Searching for Spring — about pastors, their wives, and their friendships.

Why does it seem so hard sometimes for pastors and wives to make friends? How should we think of Christian friendships in general? And how can we help each other look to Jesus as our closest friend? Listen in as Christine and Jared discuss these questions and more.

How does God's Word impact our prayers?

God invites His children to talk with Him, yet our prayers often become repetitive and stale. How do we have a real conversation with God? How do we come to know Him so that we may pray for His will as our own?

In the Bible, God speaks to us as His children and gives us words for prayer—to praise Him, confess our sins, and request His help in our lives.

We’re giving away a free eBook copy of Praying the Bible, where Donald S. Whitney offers practical insight to help Christians talk to God with the words of Scripture.
