[VIDEO] What does it mean to be a steward?

Last updated on: September 29, 2014 at 11:32 am By Mission:Work

A great talk on this was recently posted on the website of Dallas Theological Seminary, where Darrell Bock of DTS sat down to chat with Greg Forster of the Kern Family Foundation to talk about what it means to be a steward. If we all learned to serve each other, would it be a utopia? Is that, perhaps, what God’s original plan for the earth looked like? Listen to the podcast on their website or below (and, if you are...

Following up on our post a couple days ago about fathers quitting work to spend time with their families, recently we ran into some interesting reflections on The Gospel Coalition’s website from Hannah Anderson for those who are wrestling with paycheck-less vocations. (Her thoughts come from her book Made for More: An Invitation to Live in God’s Image ): One day, shortly after transitioning from being an ESL instructor to being a stay-at-home mom, I was filling out one of those ubiquitous...

In August of 2014, Max Scheirson, CEO of MongoDB, quit his job. Not in itself unusual, but perhaps unusual for the reasons why, as he wrote in “Why I am leaving the best job I ever had:” Earlier this summer, Matt Lauer asked Mary Barra, the CEO of GM, whether she could balance the demands of being a mom and being a CEO. The Atlantic asked similar questions of PepsiCo’s female CEO Indra Nooyi. As a male CEO, I have... Read more

The infernal machine?

Last updated on: September 9, 2014 at 3:47 pm By Mission:Work

Every so often, interesting things actually come in the old-fashioned postal mail. A few days ago, I got a mailing from the Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture at the University of Virginia. I’d long known about their award-winning (and quirky) journal, The Hedgehog Review, but what I didn’t know as well until they sent me their annual report was that they had recently launched four new interesting blogs. Two in particular might be of interest to MISSION:WORK readers: The Infernal... Read more

Money talk from Christianity Today

Last updated on: September 9, 2014 at 3:50 pm By Mission:Work

Boy, if you want some reflection on how faith interacts with your daily working life and with the world around us, the September Christianity Today delivers….in spades. First, there’s a great editorial from Andy Crouch on why now, more than ever in the wake of the Hobby Lobby decision, we need to understand what it means to belong to something beyond ourselves: One essential question in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby was the extent to which a for-profit corporation can hold to a religious... Read more

Last updated on: September 17, 2014 at 12:13 pm By Mission:Work

A little while ago we posted in this space some musings by Larry Saunders, a man who had moved from white-collar work in the pastoral ministry to blue-collar work in a factory and was returning to the white-collar world because he failed to find his work fulfilling. Gene Veith over at Cranach picked up on the post and wrote a thoughtful response to Larry. Here’s a sample: (1) Jesus was a carpenter. The leading disciples were fishermen. And St. Paul,...
