Thanksgiving and the Power of Gratitude in Business

Last updated on: November 24, 2015 at 4:30 pm By Mission:Work

By Timothy Askew; reprinted from Inc. with the kind permission of Timothy Askew. “All the days of the afflicted are bad, but one with a grateful heart has a continual feast.” Proverbs 15:15 November is the month of Thanksgiving and the day itself comes around next week. As an entrepreneur and as a human being it is my favorite holiday of the year–by far. It is, of course, a refreshing pause from daily business tsuris, as well as the only... Read more

Steve Garber on Dorothy Sayers on work

Last updated on: November 19, 2015 at 11:21 am By Chris Armstrong

I appreciate a man who not only is a fan of Dorothy Sayers’s essays on work, but also read all the Lord Peter Wimsey novels with his wife during their first year of marriage. This is Steve Garber, of the Washington Institute for Faith, Vocation, and Culture, blogging on the institute’s website: As we talked, my friend the businessman-become-farmer asked me if I had ever read Why Work? by Dorothy Sayers. I have, and think it is as a good a statement... Read more

The feast of Christ the King (or, did Gandalf put on the Ring?)

Last updated on: August 8, 2015 at 1:29 pm By Edwin Woodruff Tait

Originally published at Ithilien in 2004. This is the day when Episcopalians and Methodists celebrate a 20th-century Roman Catholic feast by singing a hymn (All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name) written by a particularly obnoxious Baptist (Edward Perronet–ex-Methodist and all-out dissenter who launched vicious attacks on John Wesley). In other words, a truly ecumenical occasion. The feast of Christ the King, celebrated on the last Sunday of the liturgical year, was first proclaimed by Pope Pius XI in 1925.... Read more

It’s Never Too Late to Head Back to School

Last updated on: November 19, 2015 at 11:11 am By Center for Faith and Work, LeTourneau University

By Bill Peel More and more adults are heading back to college to sharpen their skills and broaden their understanding—especially in the rapidly changing realm of business. In fact, according to NBC News, the enrollment rate of adults going back to school is rising faster than typical college-aged students. This growing trend prompted C12 Group, the largest Christian CEO roundtable organization in the U.S., to team up with LeTourneau University to offer MBA programs to its 1800 members. The strategic partnership was recently announced at C12’s national convention in... Read more

When I’m 85: A Journey With Dr. John Perkins

Last updated on: November 19, 2015 at 10:52 am By Guest Contributor

By David Spickard: published at the Jobs for Life blog on 11/4/15. On an unseasonably cool day this past summer, I found myself driving a rental car through the backroads of Mendenhall, Mississippi. It had been a long time since I had been in Mississippi. Growing up, I frequently visited Jackson to see my grandparents, but after they died, I had not had found an opportunity to visit again. But on this day, the gentleman in the passenger seat gave... Read more

What do you do when your idealism crumbles?

Last updated on: November 17, 2015 at 11:20 am By Mission:Work

‘ “Once you come to know the world — truly come to know the world and all its doubt and darkness — can you love it still?” That’s the question the co-founder of the nonprofit Blood:Water addresses in her new memoir.

This Machinist Says We Need Both Welders and Philosophers, and They Both Need Something Else, Too

Last updated on: November 16, 2015 at 2:42 pm By Guest Contributor

Recently, in the 4th Republican debate, Senator Rubio made a comment in regards to raising the minimum wage in the U.S. Toward the end of his response he made the comment, For the life of me, I don’t know why we have stigmatized vocational education. Welders make more money than philosophers. We need more welders and less philosophers. I’ve worked in a skilled trade for 14 years and also have a degree from a liberal arts university in religion, a... Read more

Praying for Paris and More

Last updated on: November 16, 2015 at 2:25 pm By Guest Contributor

By Mike Coyner The terrible events of this past weekend in Paris remind us to pray for the people of Paris and France as they deal with the aftermath of another terror attack in their country. The outpouring of care and sympathy to the victims has been heart-warming, but unfortunately accompanied (as usual on social media) by some outrageous calls for revenge which are disproportional to the context. Sometimes we human beings are so angry at the obvious evil of... Read more

Is overwork killing you?

Last updated on: November 13, 2015 at 7:40 pm By Mission:Work

The Harvard Business Review thinks it might be. The truly talented, we are told, flee obligations to work themselves into the ground. And yet they appear to love opportunities to do so, if presented in the guise of solving big problems, learning, and pushing themselves further. Whether we are forced to or choose to work too much, however, a growing body of research suggests that working long hours damages our health, productivity, and families. A recent study suggests that it... Read more

Are you a functional atheist?

Last updated on: November 10, 2015 at 4:09 pm By Guest Contributor

By Mike Coyner Last week during our Learning Forum for active UM bishops, I heard one of our presenters say, “Many of us in the church are functional atheists.” That statement got my attention, and I hope it gets your attention. He further explained: It is easy for us in the church (especially in church leadership) to fall into the trap of believing it is all up to us. That kind of “functional atheism” is not much different from non-believers... Read more
