Welcome to "Help! I am a Pastor’s Wife" with Pastor Ruth Mateola. In this powerful, raw Premiere episode, we are taking our power back, drawing a definitive line in the sand, and declaring: NO MORE SPACE FOR BACKSTABBING. In ministry, leadership, and life, betrayal hurts deeply. But the lingering trauma of trying to guard your back from people you trust can completely paralyze your divine purpose. In this special episode, Pastor Ruth Mateola is joined by an incredible guest to discuss how to shift from a posture of defense to a posture of absolute victory. We are talking about closing the doors to toxic relationships, identifying snake-like behavior early, and building an emotional firewall around your heart, your marriage, and your calling. It’s time to stop constantly looking over your shoulder. God did not call you to ministry to live in paranoia. Watch, heal, and learn how to clear out the space that betrayal used to occupy so you can step into total freedom. Join us in the LIVE Premiere chat right now!
