One of the most strategic things pastors can do

Last updated on: July 3, 2015 at 6:39 pm By Made to Flourish

Faith, work, and economics integration is one of the most strategic things you can invest in as a pastor. We all spend more waking hours at work than in any other single activity, so to put that off to the side is beyond unstrategic; it seems like almost a dereliction of duty as pastors. That’s where people live and Jesus has a plan for that. I’ve found that by talking with people just once a month about integrating their faith... Read more

Do clothes really make the man (or woman?) Reflections on professional attire

Last updated on: June 30, 2015 at 12:27 pm By Guest Contributor

By Stephen Milliken Dress to impress, right? Whether in corporate culture or student affairs, the adage is about as ubiquitous as a collared shirt. While it is certainly prudent to understand the social implications and subtexts of what we wear, I suspect that there is a subtle psychological difference between dressing appropriately and dressing to impress. My fear is this: Within the workplace, that simple adage “dress to impress” is a means by which we perpetuate superficial criteria that judge... Read more

The best way to erase poverty

Last updated on: June 15, 2015 at 4:24 pm By Center for Faith and Work, LeTourneau University

By Bill Peel “The best anti-poverty program is a job,” said President Obama at the recent Poverty Summit at Georgetown University. Overwhelming response on Twitter pushed #PovertySummit to a national trending topic. God created us to work. When we don’t work, we can’t flourish — much less eat and pay the rent. When people don’t work bad things happen. So, who creates jobs so people can work? Our friends at Institute for Faith, Work, and Economics posted an article about how extreme poverty has drastically decreased... Read more

Don’t invest in anything you don’t understand: part 4 of an interview with Gloria Nelund

Last updated on: June 30, 2015 at 10:33 am By Ethix

Read the previous installments of our interview with Gloria Nelund, reprinted from Ethix: Defining financial success Helping the middle class Too big to fail? Technology Investments? How does the common sense work in today’s more complex world? How would a bank know that investing in Facebook would be a good idea, for example? I would say investing in technologies is a different thing. Technology investments are completely a venture play. They’re not a commercial-lending play. A small business that has... Read more

Last updated on: June 30, 2015 at 2:32 pm By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

This is adapted from a sermon preached at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, Hazard, KY on June 28, 2015, on the lessons 2 Samuel 1:1, 17-27; Psalm 130; 2 Corinthians 8:7-15; Mark 5:21-43.

At the age of seven his... Read more

Too big to fail? Part 3 of an interview with Gloria Nelund

Last updated on: June 30, 2015 at 10:34 am By Ethix

Read the previous installments of our interview with Gloria Nelund, reprinted from Ethix: Defining financial success Helping the middle class Banks and the Economic Crisis What role did banks play in the recent financial crisis? There were many players that bear responsibility, including consumers, government, and financial institutions. Financial institutions were enablers because they lost sight of their historical role in an economy and focused exclusively on short-term profits. For example, in the subprime crisis financial institutions stopped asking the... Read more
