Going on vocation. Yes, Google, I said “vocation”

Last updated on: February 7, 2015 at 11:51 am By Mission:Work

Work is no vacation, right? We have some good friends at Christian History Institute, as you know from previous posts, and they’ve just released a video exploring work as it was meant to be in God’s design. Here’s what they have to say about it: Adam knew it, and you know it too. Ever since the Fall, work is no vacation. But what if work can be redeemed? What if a day on the job could be a day living...

Greed is just another word for fear

Last updated on: February 5, 2015 at 11:55 am By Guest Contributor

Here’s another post in an occasional series about blue-collar work and meaning that we’re running here on MISSION:WORK, this one from a former HVAC contractor. Read the first three posts here: “Does blue-collar work have any meaning?” , “Which is a higher calling: building churches or building fences?”, and “The craftsman and her environment.” By Vince Otten It’s really easy to cheat and get greedy in the HVAC service business—and get away with it. You call me up in a... Read more

The necessity of risk

Last updated on: January 14, 2015 at 10:26 am By Made to Flourish

By Petar Nenadov, originally published at the KPN Resources blog Several resources now exist that promote business as a means of alleviating poverty – “When Helping Hurts” by Steve Corbett and Brian Fikkert, “Toxic Charity” by Robert Lupton, and Poverty Cure by the Acton Institute, to name a few. Each resource acknowledges the usefulness of both enterprise and aid in addressing issues of poverty, but with a clear bias toward enterprise – and the resulting wealth creation – as the...

John Wesley’s messages on work and economics

Last updated on: December 30, 2014 at 1:58 pm By Chris Armstrong

When we ran our recent series of posts on work and vocation (linked at the bottom of this post) in Christian history by Faith and Work Channel senior editor and Christian History magazine senior editor Chris Armstrong, we accidentally missed this one. Ooops! Enjoy. If you want to read more of what Wesley had to say in his own words, you can check out our series of posts on Wesley’s sermon “The Use of Money”: Business advice from John Wesley...

Here’s another post in an occasional series about blue-collar work and meaning that we’re running here on MISSION:WORK, this one from a farmer and college administrator. Read the first two posts here: “Does blue-collar work have any meaning?” and “Which is a higher calling: building churches or building fences?” By Stephen Milliken In his excellent work, Shop Class as Soulcraft, Matthew Crawford reflects on the frustratingly hollow practice of “image maintenance” that seems to be par for the course within...

The story of markets and morals

Last updated on: January 15, 2015 at 9:02 pm By Oikonomia Network

By Bruce Baker In the months leading up to the crash of 2008, Chuck Prince, CEO of Citi, was asked to justify his firm’s bullish appetite for leveraged lending. He acknowledged the risk of an impending liquidity crunch, and yet explained that he really had no other option but to play along with the rest of the market: “[As] long as the music is playing, you’ve got to get up and dance. We’re still dancing.” Prince’s glib remark reveals a... Read more

Apprenticeship to Jesus

Last updated on: January 14, 2015 at 10:26 am By Made to Flourish

By Drew Cleveland, originally published at the KPN Resources blog “…Consider just your job, the work you do to make a living. This is one of the clearest ways possible of focusing upon apprenticeship to Jesus. To be a disciple of Jesus is, crucially, to be learning from Jesus how to do your job as Jesus himself would do it. The New Testament language for this is to do it ‘in the name’ of Jesus. Once you stop to think... Read more

John McKnight: Low-income communities are not needy — they have assets

Last updated on: January 14, 2015 at 10:41 am By Mission:Work

This interview comes to us from Duke Divinity School’s blog Faith & Leadership, an offering of Leadership Education at Duke Divinity. Read some more interviews with folks pursuing community development along these lines in our recent Community Development Forum. People who want to help low-income communities should see them as “half-full glasses” — places with strengths and capacities that can be built upon, says the co-developer of the asset-based community development strategy. Most people and institutions that want to serve... Read more
