    TV Show Review: Death of the Pastor's Wife
    Oct 23 2026

    (Content warning for intimate partner violence and self harm)


    Netflix's Death of the Pastor's Wife details a relationship between a pastor and his wife and ends in the death of the wife. It's a tale of abuse, weaponized religion, and a lack of protective structures. This story is an extreme example of something that keeps happening. An unhealthy Christian leaders leverages their institutional power for their own ends rather than God's. The institution doesn't have strength to resist. Someone gets deeply harmed. It doesn't have to be like this, but it does mean that we have to reckon with our deeply unhealthy relationship with authority.

    If you're the Roman Emperor, you probably expect to dominate people's thoughts. They certainly dominated a huge percentage of the known world. A whole image of the Messiah grew up around said Messiah kicking the Romans out of the promised land. Yet, Jesus doesn't seem to care at all. Sure. Pay taxes to Caesar. Who care? God is doing something completely different - something much larger, more powerful, and long lasting. Petty earthly empires just don't rate.

    God performed some truly amazing miracle: parting the Red Sea, unleashing plagues on Egypt, sending mana from Heaven, bringing forth water from a stone. Still, the people, when left alone for a few days, create an entire separate religion based on a powerless golden object. We can easily think that we are not like that. We know that's there's only one God. But, do we act like it? Or, do we act like there are a lot of competing priorities, of which God is on on the list?
