Regular readers of our website will already know Melissa Kruger, but we’re delighted to announce today that you’ll see even more from her as our newest blogger. Melissa coordinates women’s ministry at Uptown Church (PCA) in Charlotte, North Carolina, and she’s written two books: The Envy of Eve: Finding Contentment in a Covetous World (Christian Focus, 2012) and Walking with God in the Season of Motherhood (Waterbrook/Multnomah, 2015). Melissa has three children with her husband, Mike, the president of Reformed Theological Seminary in Charlotte.
Melissa has been a fixture of our national conferences the past several years. At this year’s national conference she spoke on a panel about ministry among women. During the 2014 women’s conference she addressed “Cultivating Contentment in a Covetous World,” the subject of her first book. And she’ll be speaking three times at next year’s women’s conference: on deepening our walk with Jesus, teaching theology to children, and growing in Christ as a new believer.
We invite you to join us in welcoming Melissa by following her on Twitter and browsing the archives of her blog, Wit’s End.
Is the digital age making us foolish?
Do you feel yourself becoming more foolish the more time you spend scrolling on social media? You’re not alone. Addictive algorithms make huge money for Silicon Valley, but they make huge fools of us.
It doesn’t have to be this way. With intentionality and the discipline to cultivate healthier media consumption habits, we can resist the foolishness of the age and instead become wise and spiritually mature. Brett McCracken’s The Wisdom Pyramid: Feeding Your Soul in a Post-Truth World shows us the way.
