What might your work give to the world?

Last updated on: September 10, 2014 at 7:11 pm   By Jeff Haanen

Yesterday Leadership Journal’s Redeeming Work initiative held the third of five planned conferences on faith, work, and vocation. Jeff Haanen was on the spot for the Faith and Work Channel. This is the final report  from him about the day’s events. When Hunter Beaumont worked for one of the Big Four accounting firms in Dallas, Texas, his office looked out a 55th floor window. Far below, on the other side of the city was Dallas Theological Seminary. During day, he was an accountant.... Read more

Connect YOUR work to GOD’s work and great things happen

Last updated on: September 10, 2014 at 1:13 pm   By Jeff Haanen

Yesterday Leadership Journal’s Redeeming Work initiative held the third of five planned conferences on faith, work, and vocation. Jeff Haanen was on the spot for the Faith and Work Channel. This is the second of three reports from him about the day’s events. “When we connect our work to God’s work, great things happen in our communities.” Dr. Amy Sherman, a senior fellow at the Sagamore Institute, addressed a crowd of 120 pastors and ministry leaders at Leadership Journal’s third “Redeeming Work” event.

The world was waiting for YOU

Last updated on: September 10, 2014 at 1:11 pm   By Jeff Haanen

Yesterday Leadership Journal’s Redeeming Work initiative held the third of five planned conferences on faith, work, and vocation. Jeff Haanen was on the spot for the Faith and Work Channel. This is the first of three reports from him about the day’s events. “The world was waiting for image-bearers.” Andy Crouch, the Executive Editor of Christianity Today, addressed a crowd of 120 Denver pastors and leaders at Leadership Journal’s third “Redeeming Work” event. “Work,” says Crouch, “is a category of culture.

Considering vocation and trusting God

Last updated on: September 9, 2014 at 3:15 pm   By Mission:Work

By Steve Harper Living vocationally does not mean living with certainty as much as it means living with trust–trust that God can use us in more than one way, and faith that the current way is an acceptable one. Thomas Merton reflected often about his vocation, writing once in his journal, “Why am I always unsatisfied, and wanting to know what is my vocation if it is my vocation to stay here reading, praying, and writing and sometimes teaching a... Read more

Summer….um, fall…reading list

Last updated on: April 6, 2015 at 6:05 pm   By Made to Flourish

Drew Cleveland posted an excellent summer reading list of books about faith and work over on the Kern Pastors Network blog the other day, which I’ve just bumped into.  While it may be too late to read them at the beach at this point, it’s still worth noting. Pack one into your bag to read during your daily commute instead of browsing Facebook (but only if you’re not driving, please!) What books have you read that you think we should... Read more

Three reasons God cares about your work

Last updated on: September 3, 2014 at 3:02 pm   By Mission:Work

We ran into this on the Purpose in Leadership blog of Justin Irving, director of the Work with Purpose Initiative at Bethel Seminary.  Justin says, Sometimes we add value to the lives of others on the job when we are compensated in one form or another for our work. Other times, we add value to the lives of others through volunteer service or through the work we do for our family and friends. As I was engaged in this last type... Read more

Happy Vocation Day!

Last updated on: September 1, 2014 at 3:13 pm   By Mission:Work

Just ran into this neat post by Gene Veith over at his blog, Cranach, on why we celebrate Labor Day. (Hey, this is a blog about faith and work, so you expected a lot of posts on Labor Day, right?) Most people probably don’t know what they are celebrating on Labor Day–”something about Unions”–but we here at the Cranach blog have long sought to fill this holiday with meaning by turning it into a Christian feast commemorating the doctrine of... Read more

Working on Labor Day?

Last updated on: September 1, 2014 at 11:02 am   By Mission:Work

The early roots and rationale of Labor Day seem somehow removed from the modern American work experience. Sure, many still labor at menial jobs with minimal pay, but many of those same people would leap at the chance to work on Labor Day and earn overtime. Read more
