About this Event
Why a cohort for pastors' wives?
As women married to pastors we understand the confusion, chaos, conflict and criticism we and our spouses often face. We long to see God work in our church, marriage and family yet at times we may question if God sees us at all. In this cohort we’ll share our stories while focusing our dependence on our Father as we practice doing life through prayer. This cohort is best suited for those currently in or going into ministry as well as those retired from ministry.
What is an online cohort?
In this highly personalized, 10-week prayer training, you'll gather with experienced prayer trainers and a small group of others on Zoom. Together, you'll build a set of 5 or more personal prayer cards that you’ll use to pray through key areas in your lives. Each week, you will experience the accountability and encouragement of praying together. As you see God at work in one another’s lives, you will grow in wisdom and faith.
What's the schedule?
Tuesdays, 12:00-1:15 PM Eastern Time | Jan 14 - Mar 18, 2024
What happens in a cohort meeting?
We learn to pray, and we pray. We learn through a book study, open discussions, and applying new ideas in our personal lives. Then we spend real time together praying through key areas in each of our lives and begin to watch, together, what God does in each prayer story.
What is a prayer story?
From the proven training of the book A Praying Life by Paul Miller, prayer stories are more than simply an answer to prayer to check off a list. Prayer stories emphasize that God is at work in the larger picture of our lives and of redemption. As we pray to gather and see God at work in the lives of others, you will be encouraged to keep asking—even when you don’t yet see movement in your own prayer story.

Cohort Leader
Luchrysta Caswell is the oldest of five and grew up in a Christian home. She and Lyle met in college and after a few years of marriage, to her delight, God opened a door for them to plant a church in her hometown of Lakeland, FL and raise their 4 kids there. She has over 25 years of experience in ministry, including serving in the local church, leading groups and meeting one-on-one with people. Luchrysta currently works for Parakaleo, a ministry whose vision it is to see every woman in church planting trained, valued and supported.
Luchrysta can get entangled in pride and unbelief, which expresses itself in grasping for the seat of honor, willfulness, self-righteousness and self-reliance, to name a few. She knows she needs Jesus and the gospel, applying it in the ordinary dailies of life. Doing life and ministry through prayer has become a tangible, personal, beautiful way for her to practically live out her dependence on and enjoyment of God’s presence.
