Last updated on: April 15, 2014 at 12:58 am By Patheos Faith and Work Channel

What if we spent the same amount of time, effort, and resources helping a man or woman find and keep a job as we do handing out clothes on a Saturday morning? What would that do? Read more

Relationships and generational poverty

Last updated on: March 31, 2014 at 10:02 pm By Made to Flourish

One-way giving is no proof of interest in another person’s welfare. Relationships are real compassion. Suffering with our poor brothers and sisters through life together is the only real solution to end the cycle of generational poverty. Read more

Engaging the culture

Last updated on: March 31, 2014 at 9:55 pm By Made to Flourish

How does the middle-class church, with its high production values, strong work ethic, emphasis on appearance, and individualistic bent begin to engage, understand, befriend, include, and eventually value the contributions of the generationally poor and their culture? Read more

Tents, culture, gospel: A post from a Kern Pastor

Last updated on: April 2, 2014 at 8:45 pm By Made to Flourish

What difference might it make in our communities if, instead of simply preparing our children to fulfill church-centered functions, or fight the battles that the culture might bring their way, we prepare them to work with God to preserve the culture through their daily employment?

Last updated on: March 31, 2014 at 9:08 pm By Made to Flourish

If you can force me to work – or not to work, as is often the case – you enslave me. If you can take away the fruits of my work at will, you enslave me. If you can take away my home at will, you enslave me. If you can arbitrarily prevent me from buying what I need, or selling what I make, in an open marketplace, you enslave me. This is exactly what the powerful do to the powerless every day around the world. Read more

The church, faith, and work

Last updated on: March 31, 2014 at 9:00 pm By Patheos Faith and Work Channel

The gospel has a deep and vital impact on how we do art, business, government, media, and scholarship.

Spiritual formation in the workplace: A post from the Kern Pastors’ Network Director

Last updated on: March 31, 2014 at 9:01 pm By Made to Flourish
