Read more about the conference here: How to write a Grace Prescription 10 things I learned at Grace Prescriptions I’m almost at the end of my time with the roomful of medical professionals at Grace Prescriptions, and I have a lot to chew on (and I don’t just mean the chocolate: we’ve all been fed within an inch of our lives!)

10 Things I Learned at Grace Prescriptions (second in a series)

Read more about the conference here: How to write a Grace Prescription 1. Doctors and other medical professionals can actually be very friendly. While that hasn’t always been my experience in the exam room, let alone other people’s, everyone here has been extremely gracious and introduced themselves to all and sundry (including me, the “one of these things is not like the other” journalist). Everyone I’ve met seems to have a genuine concern for patients and a desire to help... Read more

How to write a Grace Prescription (first in a series)

Last updated on: August 28, 2015 at 6:25 pm By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

Well, for once there is no need to ask if there is a doctor in the house, because I am sitting in a room full of them on the campus of Asbury University in Wilmore, KY as an attendee at a conference called Grace Prescriptions, aimed at Christian medical professionals who are looking for help in sharing their faith in their practice. Over the next couple of days I hope to report in several times as we stand at the... Read more

Overwork Can Kill You–Literally

Last updated on: August 26, 2015 at 9:22 am By Center for Faith and Work, LeTourneau University

By Bill Peel The accident occurred at 11:04 a.m. according to the police report. A deafening crash and shower of glass and shrapnel had jolted me awake. I slammed on the brakes as a gooseneck trailer peeled away a good portion of the driver’s side of my car, barely missing me. My face stung and body ached when I climbed out of the wreckage. Thankfully, the driver of the pickup pulling the trailer was not hurt. That day God used... Read more

The Expendable Worker: Looking for Hope in the On-Demand Economy

Last updated on: August 26, 2015 at 9:37 am By Jeff Haanen

“Low, low prices.” With that motto, a generation ago Walmart took over the world of retail. For years Walmart seemed untouchable; they could consume any competitor with volume, price and efficiency. Yet in the past several years, some have questioned whether the Walmart empire has a gaping hole in the center. Forbes reported in 2014 that “Walmart’s low-wage workers cost U.S. taxpayers an estimated $6.2 billion in public assistance including food stamps, Medicaid and subsidized housing.” Americans for Tax Fairness...

“Don’t immanentize the eschaton?”: How to be a citizen of the Kingdom

Last updated on: August 25, 2015 at 12:53 pm By Edwin Woodruff Tait

Conservatives are fond of saying that one shouldn’t “immanentize the eschaton.” What else, I ask, is one to do with an eschaton? What they mean by this, of course, is that we should not use violent means to bring about a utopian society. Of course we shouldn’t. But the violent means used by Marxists and other secular seekers of the Eschaton are themselves decidedly means of “this age.” Marxists justify totalitarianism precisely because the perfect classless society isn’t here yet....

Amazon: Niche or Norm? –A Question of Valuing Human Complexity

Last updated on: August 18, 2015 at 3:38 pm By Guest Contributor

By Stephen Milliken Headlining a look into Amazon’s work environment, The New York Times’ recent article exposes the company’s cutting-edge business practices. As the article prophesies, these innovative and relentlessly-aggressive business practices are blazing the trail for the future of business in a global market – and we can expect more of the same. Before I even began to read the expose, I was cautious of what I would find and what I would think of this company that I... Read more

“What are you gonna DO?” A new way to look at retirement

Last updated on: August 14, 2015 at 1:14 pm By Guest Contributor

By Mike Coyner [Originally addressed to Methodists in Indiana, but just as helpful for the rest of us!–MISSION:WORK] Ever since our 2015 Session of the Indiana Conference concluded on May 30th, it seems that everyone is asking me about my retirement in 2016.
