How can we bridge the divide between our faith and our work?

Last updated on: July 14, 2014 at 10:13 am   By Made to Flourish

Bridging that gap is one of the main purposes of this blog.  And recently at the Kern Pastors Network site Aaron Brockmeier was thinking about the same question: Over the past year, through the encouragement of The Kern Family Foundation, I’ve been studying the integration of faith and work. I still have many questions, but as I mentioned in my previous article, I think this is a key and overlooked biblical teaching by pastors – especially me! A leader in my... Read more

The business of doing good; how millennials are changing the corporate sector

Last updated on: August 19, 2014 at 2:02 pm   By Mission:Work

This article by philanthropist Jean Case popped up on Forbes.com the other day.   Case, who is head of the Case Foundation, reminded her readers: The Millennials are coming… to an office near you. Over the course of the next decade we will bear witness to one of the largest demographic shifts in the workplace in modern history. By the year 2025 Millennials (born between 1979 and 1999) will come to fuel approximately 75% of the U.S. workforce, and worldwide... Read more

How employing people with disabilities transformed a business

Last updated on: July 12, 2014 at 9:08 am   By Acton Institute

We read this story by Joseph Sunde a few days ago on ActonPowerBlog and thought it was well worth sharing. Joseph himself was responding to a news story  that appeared recently in Christianity Today: I was…heartened to read the story of Randy Lewis, a senior vice president at Walgreens, whose son, Austin, faced similar obstacles as someone with autism, but who responded by creating new opportunities for Austin and others like him. Lewis outlines the full story in his book,No Greatness without Goodness, but offers... Read more

Dear God, please help me choose a major

Last updated on: August 19, 2014 at 2:02 pm   By Mission:Work

I remembered my own struggles with that very question when I read a recent article on the Missio blog of the Washington Institute for Faith, Culture, and Vocation.  Author Drew Moser of Taylor University wrote about a student whose search for a major sounded all too familiar: Ethan was an exemplary Taylor University student—winsome, well known, a leader. He was respected by the student body and faculty alike. He had a vibrant, authentic faith to match his outgoing personality, spending... Read more

This may seem like an odd question to bring up after over 150 posts, but it never hurts in cyberspace to re-introduce yourself every so often. 🙂 We’re part of the Patheos Faith and Work Channel, a new endeavor as of January 2014 here on Patheos which aims to provide you all kinds of resources for bringing your faith and your daily work together–whether you write books, teach children, change diapers, or lay tile.

Mental health: an economic issue, not just a health issue

Last updated on: August 19, 2014 at 2:03 pm   By Mission:Work

Recently Danielle Kurtzleben had this to say for online publisher Vox Media  about mental health and the economy: Only a limited set of topics bring mental illness into the news. Obamacare’s mental health coverage requirements briefly brought mental health into the spotlight. And every time there’s a mass shooting in the US (disturbingly regularly, as it turns out), it also sparks a conversation about mental illness. But another American crisis, the persistently weak economy, is also a mental health issue. And it’s a mental health issue that... Read more

Is anything too small for God?

Last updated on: July 8, 2014 at 8:35 am   By Acton Institute

Recently at the Acton Institute’s Commentary page, Jordan Ballor was musing on C. S. Lewis, theology, and economics: At the conclusion of the first of his two chapters exploring the theological virtue of faith in Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis provides a brief illustration….Lewis wants to show that a key element of faith is the understanding of the divine origins of all things. “Every faculty you have, your power of thinking or of moving your limbs from moment to moment, is given... Read more

Three key lessons about busyness

Last updated on: August 19, 2014 at 2:03 pm   By Mission:Work

We’re all busy, right? Yeah, me too. But I was pulled up short a few days ago by this post on the Chronicle of Higher Education‘s Vitae blog by Allison M. Vaillancourt: I work with someone who begins every conversation by telling me how busy she is. I don’t mean some conversations, or most conversations; I mean every single conversation. Whenever I am about to talk with her, I ask myself, “I wonder if she will tell me how busy she is?” And... Read more

“Are we putting people on a nicer plane to hell?”

Last updated on: July 4, 2014 at 2:33 pm   By Made to Flourish

Yes–I sat up too when I read that headline over at the Kern Pastors Network blog.  It was a sincere question asked to pastor Tom Olson who was recently participating in a forum on faith, work, and economics. He goes on to unpack the question–and his answer:  During a Q&A session, one man who was really wrestling with the topic asked the speaker, “Are we just putting people on a nicer plane to hell?” It was shocking terminology – but... Read more
