When God closes a door, he opens….a blog?

Last updated on: April 5, 2016 at 11:32 am By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

In October 2013, I got a phone call from my friend Chris Armstrong about a new venture he was starting. It was the venture which became this Patheos Faith and Work Channel. Certain pieces of his startup puzzle had shifted, and he needed someone else on the team. Could I be on a phone call at 4:00 that afternoon? I could, and I did. (Up until that point I had never even heard of the faith and work movement. I... Read more

Restoring Dignity Through Business: Dignity Coconuts’ Story

Last updated on: April 8, 2016 at 1:02 pm By The BAM Review

“We’re fighting this multi-billion dollar evil with a peashooter,” Stephen told Don as they wandered around the exhibition hall at an anti-human trafficking convention. At every booth they were encountering stories of abuse and human suffering. There were also stories of rescue and restoration. However, the sheer scale of global slavery seemed to dwarf the efforts of those at the front-lines fighting against it. Most organisations working with trafficked communities can only provide jobs for 5, 10, 20 or... Read more

The Cross Before the Crown

Last updated on: March 21, 2016 at 12:16 pm By Guest Contributor

By Mike Coyner During this Holy Week we need to keep things in the right order and the right perspective. This week can get lost in the midst of spring vacations and Final Four tournaments, but for Christians this is the most important week of the year. And yet, even for Christians, it is easy to get things out of order and out of perspective. I am remembering the words of my preaching professor at Duke Divinity School, Carlyle Marney,... Read more

What Successful Entrepreneurs and Successful Criminals Have in Common

Last updated on: February 26, 2016 at 6:08 pm By Mission:Work

By Timothy Askew; reprinted from Inc. with the kind permission of Timothy Askew. I found this line in a recent John Grisham bestseller. “Prisons are fascinating places, especially when the inmates are educated white-collar types.” The distance between the criminal and the successful entrepreneur is not so very far. We both intuitively operate out-of-the-box with an instinct for not accepting the status quo. We both are not inclined to accept the tyranny of the given. We both intuitively color outside...

You Don’t Need More Free Time

Last updated on: February 26, 2016 at 5:26 pm By Mission:Work

So says the New York Times in a recent article by Cristobal Young. Do you agree? AMERICANS work some of the longest hours in the Western world, and many struggle to achieve a healthy balance between work and life. As a result, there is an understandable tendency to assume that the problem we face is one of quantity: We simply do not have enough free time. “If I could just get a few more hours off work each week,” you...

Not giving up in Lent

Last updated on: February 26, 2016 at 5:26 pm By Mission:Work

If it’s February, it’s probably Lent. And that doesn’t always mean giving up something, writes an Episcopal priest. Sometimes, dealing with the season’s built-in emotional challenges is enough. This post originally appeared at Faith and Leadership. By Rhonda Mawhood Lee “What are you giving up for Lent?” That’s a common question in the couple of months before Easter. Even people who rarely attend church may renounce alcohol or sweets as a spiritual practice — or a way to lose those... Read more

What the Image of God Means for Our Dignity and Work

Last updated on: February 24, 2016 at 3:47 pm By Institute for Faith, Work, and Economics

By Art Lindsley The number one fear of the millennial generation is living a meaningless life. In a recent informal survey of undergraduate students at Regent University in Virginia Beach, VA, 27 percent of students asked expressed anxiety when considering their vocation. “Scared”, “uneasy”, “unsure”, “confused”, and “apprehensive” were common words in describing the way they felt about their future vocation. But college students aren’t the only ones struggling with their calling. Many adults fail to discover their calling in... Read more

My White Privilege

Last updated on: February 19, 2016 at 10:01 am By Guest Contributor

By David Spickard As I normally do on work trips, I packed my running clothes and shoes just in case I had the opportunity to get in a quick run. I love running when I’m out of town as it allows me to explore the cities I’m in while keeping up my exercise. Thankfully, the temperature wasn’t too cold when I woke up in Florissant, the community right next to Ferguson, MO. There would be plenty of time for me... Read more
