In what ways have you seen others bring meaning to a “meaningless job?” In what ways have you shared the gospel through your work? Read more

The faith and work conversation we’re NOT having

Last updated on: February 26, 2015 at 12:50 pm By Mission:Work

Really good stuff in the latest issue of Comment, called “The Work of Our Hands,” on the conversations we’re not having about how blue-collar work, menial work, and disgusting work fit into God’s design. Or don’t fit. Here’s what Brian Dijkema has to say in his introductory letter: There is a swath of the evangelical community to whom the “faith and work” conversation is a revelation: “What?! You mean my work can be a calling just like my pastor’s?” There... Read more

What can really help hurting workers?

Last updated on: February 26, 2015 at 1:23 pm By Greg Forster

This article originally appeared at Hang Together. College of the Ozarks’ “Hard Work U” Program A while ago, I saw a lot of attention paid to this article by Jonathan Rauch on the economic crisis of America’s working class. He’s looking at the right problem, but he’s looking at it all wrong. As a result, he misunderstands both the cause and the needed remedy. Rauch is right that the bottom half of workers have a long-term problem: the economy still... Read more

You may be the only Bible they read

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 5:30 pm By Center for Faith and Work, LeTourneau University

By Bill Peel The workplace is filled with spiritually hungry people. Most of them, however, won’t connect their own emptiness with their need for God unless they can see the difference Christ makes in a Christian’s life. Jesus could have designed a no-fail distribution strategy for the gospel, but instead He charged His followers to be His ambassadors — to show and tell others how to find fulfillment and eternal life in Him. Research shows that up to 90 percent of people who come to Christ as adults do so because of a relationship with one or more Christians... Read more

Jazz, entrepreneurship, and tradition

Last updated on: February 23, 2015 at 8:43 am By Chris Armstrong

As an enthusiastic jazz fan and an appreciator of business entrepreneurship, I enjoy watching folks make it up as they go along. Nothing affirms my sense of human beings as “co-creators” with God (a favored term of that great co-creator, J R R Tolkien) more than listening to the swooping, soaring melodic lines of a skilled jazz musician. Nothing hits me more powerfully with the great practical power of creative thinking than seeing an entrepreneur take the germ of an... Read more

Is the gap between pulpit and pew narrowing? Read the latest research

Last updated on: February 20, 2015 at 3:35 pm By Center for Faith and Work, LeTourneau University

New research conducted by the Barna Group for the Center for Faith & Work at LeTourneau University shows a substantial uptick in the number of pastors who say they preach on the topic of work. However, most church-goers still doubt the significance of their work to God. “While American church-goers hear more sermons on work these days, there’s still a gap between what’s preached from the pulpit and what’s grasped by those in the pew,” says Bill Peel, Executive Director. The research revealed that 70... Read more

Living out the gospel by teaching, not preaching

Read some more interviews with folks pursuing community development along these lines in our recent Community Development Forum and in another post from Faith & Leadership.
