Michele is the Pastor of Missions at FaithLife. Growing up in a small farming community in Kansas, my grandmother instilled in me when I was a child to, "Love God and love others." I am a wife, mother and will be a grandma at the end of November. At FaithLife, I feel incredibly lucky to have a front seat to all of the incredible ways God is working through his people in our community and in our world. My hope is that the Holy Spirit continues to move and inspire more people to serve others in Jesus name and at the same time listen, learn and encourage others.

The Parable of the Shrewd Manager is often considered one of Jesus' most perplexing teachings, especially in a world that's preoccupied with wealth. While our focus tends to be on using resources for immediate comfort and power, God calls us to be shrewd managers with an eternal perspective. This parable is a powerful call to action, urging us to use the resources we have been given to build his kingdom.
