This week, Michelle is joined by Melissa Kruger, the director of women's initiatives for The Gospel Coalition. They talk about her role and the mission of TGC, some of Michelle's favorite takeaways from Melissa's writing ministry, and discuss some practical ways of dealing with the pressure of being a working woman as a Christ-follower. You're probably going to want to grab a way to take notes because she makes some points you'll want to reflect on after you listen. If you take away nothing else, remember this: you have permission to lead an ordinary life. Connect with Melissa by following her on Instagram at @melissabryankruger.

You won't struggle to find financial advice that claims the Bible as its source. But the more resources you explore, the more you're likely to find conflicting information, particularly concerning the topic of wealth. If Scripture doesn't contradict itself, how do these conflicting views appear in the first place? And since money is an unavoidable reality of our lives and work and Scripture does have so much to say about it, how do we truly approach the topic of wealth with wisdom?  Thankfully, there's one thing that Jesus never failed to mention when He spoke about money, and His words provide the clarity we need to approach every financial decision.

Also, Michelle answers the question she's gotten most often this month:  How do I know if God is calling me to social media or away from it?
