No more “shoulds” please

Last updated on: July 16, 2015 at 12:18 pm By Dr. Chip Roper

More! I’ve been in some form of leadership role for 30 plus years. Over that time I can boil down 80% of the feedback I’ve received to four words: “we should do more.” Sometimes, quite boldly, the feedback is “you should do more.” As a person afflicted with a constant drive to accomplish, a keen sense that “things” can be better, and an overflowing task list, these “shoulds” were generally unhelpful. Of course as a leader, I threw my... Read more

Faith and Work Location Tracking

Last updated on: June 27, 2015 at 5:01 pm By Dr. Chip Roper

Over the past year, I’ve experienced the challenge and fun of getting to know my new home, New York City. The iPhone I carry in my pocket has been a comforting reference in the process: not only does it contain maps and subway system diagrams. The pulsating blue dot shows me exactly where I am. As we continue to ponder the dynamics of marketplace faith—following Jesus into the world of work—I propose a map upon which each reader can find... Read more

A Third Way to Work

Last updated on: June 26, 2016 at 9:17 am By Dr. Chip Roper

In my last post, I shared a bit of my work-journey. As a child, work was something you did your best to get through quickly so you could play. But by the time I was a teen, work was the answer—the path to the spending power, security, and worth I longed for. In this post a third way of approaching work is introduced: the way of faith. Some Faith Background As a child, Christian faith was assumed in our household.... Read more

“Work”: Four-Letter Word or Key To Life

Last updated on: June 26, 2016 at 9:16 am By Dr. Chip Roper

As part of the launch of Marketplace Faith, I’m sharing some reflections on my faith and work history. These posts reveal aspects of the “why” that drives the writing of this blog. Work as four-letter word: My youngest memories of work come from household chores. Work was the task you completed so you could get to do what you wanted to do. You can go out to play after you “clear the table,” “clean your room,” or “sweep the garage.”... Read more

Faith, Work, And Rocket Science

Last updated on: June 26, 2016 at 9:15 am By Dr. Chip Roper

Since the waning days of World War II, western nations have been working feverishly on rockets—fire propelled, metal tubes that take off in one place and deliver a payload to a precise location, far away. With President John F. Kennedy’s challenge to land a man on the moon and return him safely again to earth, rocket science emerged as the most intellectually rigorous, challenging domain of human endeavor. Upon this historical foundation, a phrase emerged. Obvious and relatively simple tasks... Read more
