Melissa Kruger Interviewed on NBC Charlotte
In prior posts, I have already mentioned my wife’s excellent new book, Walking with God in the Season of Motherhood (Waterbrook, 2015). As an 11-week Bible study for moms, it is really something unique. There are many books for moms. And there are many Bible studies. But, Melissa’s new book combines both together.
I was excited to see that Melissa’s book was highlighted on the NBC morning show here in Charlotte. Although it is not a Christian program, they asked her to come talk about how to think about being a mom during the summer months when the kids are out of school.

A Fantastic New Book for Women
Being a mom is not easy. It is a whirlwind experience filled with exhilaration and joy on the one hand, and exhaustion and challenges on the other. There are days when a mom finds deep satisfaction in her new role as a parent, and there are other days when she doesn’t know if she can go on.
During times like this, it is critical that a mom find her joy and her assurance in a stable place that cannot be shaken. And that is found in her relationship with Jesus Christ.
For this reason, I am very excited that this week my wife Melissa’s new book was released, Walking with … Continue reading...

I am very excited about my wife Melissa’s new blog which launches today. There are a tremendous amount of resources available on this site, covering a wide variety of topics such as women’s ministry, motherhood, contentment, life as a pastor’s wife, and more.

Seminary Wives: You are Not Wasting Your Lives
Every year I see a new crop of seminary students, eager to jump into their studies and to prepare for ministry. But, behind the scenes, there is another story that often goes untold. The story of the seminary wives.
Of course, I recognize that there are also seminary husbands, but there is a unique challenge for seminary wives as they sometimes struggle to find their own calling in the mist of following their husband’s.
Seminary can be a wonderful, exciting time, full of fresh spiritual growth. But it can also be a struggle–financially, spiritually, and relationally. In the mist of these struggles, it is easy for wives to wonder whether … Continue reading...
