184 trillion dollars is changing hands over the next two decades — and 70% of it is coming to women who, by and large, don't feel ready for it. The average age of a widow is 59. 95% of women will be the primary financial decision-maker for their household at some point. And yet most women are still sitting on the sidelines when it comes to money. Julie Wilson, president of Women Doing Well, joins Brian From to talk about what the data shows, why the real issue isn't financial literacy but values and purpose, and what actually happens when a woman engages in her family's finances — spoiler, her husband said he finally didn't feel so alone. Julie also challenges pastors directly: if your church doesn't have a strategy for women and wealth, your congregation will start suffering as women become the primary financial decision-makers — and they won't come to you for help if you haven't built the relationship first. A practical, grounded conversation about stewardship, marriage, and what it looks like to manage money in alignment with your faith. Learn more at womendoingwell.org.

The idea of “the common good” has a rich history within the Christian church. It’s the notion that, as we pursue Jesus in our lives and in the lives of others, we are fulfilling God’s purposes for His creation. This pursuit can be messy. It means rolling up our sleeves and creating space for hard conversations about real issues that impact our lives. Things like parenting, marriage, finances, politics, art, and culture. On The Common Good, Brian From creates space to have these conversations, to sit with the big questions that we all have, to sometimes disagree, but to always look for the chance to create common good, by following after Jesus. Brian welcome listeners to join them in these conversations, to bring their own questions, hopes, and struggles, and to ultimately share in a journey to see God’s design for all of us fulfilled.
