FEATURED RESOURCE
This month’s featured resource is from one of our own, Mary Wiley.
Mary has been a part of Women & Work since its inception and was one of our panelists at our very first event in 2018, sharing how she seeks to honor the Lord as a wife and full-time working mom of 2 little ones.
This month, her 8-week bible study with LifeWay released, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. Not only for Mary and the hard work she’s put into creating this resource but also for the women whose lives will be transformed by it.

>>5 HABITS TO PRACTICE THE PRESENCE OF GOD AT WORK
Read Justin Whitmel Earley’s answer to this question at The Gospel Coalition’s Thorns & Thistles column:
“I think I’ve built good habits around a morning prayer time, but often it feels like I switch to another world when I go to work. It’s so easy for me to get carried away by the worry of deadlines and urgency of eamil and pressure of expectations. I don’t want to forget I’m doing all of this for, and with, God. Are there any habits that could help me tie my entire workday to remembering, praising, and loving God?”
