PCOS, Endometriosis, and Pastoring with Kylie Wicker
She’s a family pastor in Alaska, a lifelong Nazarene, and someone who goes home after church and crashes on the couch in pain. Kylie joins us to talk about what it’s like to lead in ministry while living with PCOS and suspected endometriosis, including chronic fatigue, inflammation, brain fog, and the quiet grief of realizing you can’t do what you used to do. If you’ve ever wondered how faith holds up when symptoms don’t let up, this conversation gets honest fast.
We dig into what PCOS can look like beyond the textbook, why endometriosis is so hard to diagnose, and how daily management can affect everything from food choices to motivation to energy for work. Kylie also shares how getting a clear diagnosis can be both heavy and relieving because at least you know what you’re up against. Along the way, we talk about church life, accessibility, and how chronic illness can make you more attentive to the needs people rarely say out loud.
Then we go deeper into theology and hope. Kylie explains why “God gives us everything we need” doesn’t mean “God gives us everything we want,” and how she resists prosperity-gospel pressure while still trusting God’s presence and provision. We talk about 2 Peter 1:3–4, what to hold onto in flare-ups, and how to think about God’s care when someone is terminally ill. We also share practical ways to encourage pastors with chronic illness, because pastors are people too.
