Are capitalism and Christianity incompatible? A debate

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

A debate on just that very question graced the pages of the New York Times in their “Room for Debate” feature last week, opening with the statement: Jesus drove money changers out of the Temple, calling them “a den of thieves.” Of the profit-centric world view, Pope Francis warned, “We can no longer trust in the unseen forces and the invisible hand of the market” to provide economic justice. Others call Christianity and capitalism inextricable. Is contemporary capitalism compatible with Christian values? The debate... Read more

What does “faith and work” mean?

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

This blog, and this whole channel at Patheos, are meant to help highlight helpful resources and thought-provoking questions coming out of what has broadly been described as the “faith and work” movement. But what does the phrase mean? Does it mean that faith and work are the same thing? Does it mean “faith and works?” Greg Forster of the blog Hang Together says “No” to both of those questions in a recent post: The most persuasive version of the concern that I... Read more

A five-minute guide to money (part two of a series on money management)

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

Yesterday in this space we shared a few tips that might help you get your finances in order. Very good advice–but as Christians, we have a larger framework to put that advice in. Recently on the blog of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship Drew Larson laid out those principles–aimed at college students, to be sure, but useful for all of us. He begins, Looking at your bank statement from last month is like meeting a stranger. Does anybody recognize the “Last Month’s... Read more

Five ways to stop living paycheck to paycheck (part one of a series on money management)

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

Part of being faithful to God in our work involves being faithful to God with our resources. But for many of us, we feel at sea here–how do we better take care of our money and handle that dreaded B-word (budget)? We’ve pulled in a couple of pieces of thoughtful advice on the topic from around the web. Today, some tips from a secular perspective that originally appeared in Money Talks News (we picked them up via the Christian Science Monitor) on “five... Read more

Three ways Dallas Seminary is helping its students wrestle with issues of faith and work

Last updated on: July 1, 2014 at 10:29 am By Oikonomia Network

On the Oikonomia Network recently, Dallas Theological Seminary reported in on some ways they are helping students–who are training to be future pastors and church leaders–wrestle with the issues raised by 9-to-5 work. They include: Podcasts about faith and work. You can access these from DTS’ “The Table” website along with other resources about Christianity and culture.

A candid interview with David Green of Hobby Lobby

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

Today, as the media has been reporting at length, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby in a highly watched court case about whether the company was required by the Affordable Care Act to provide certain forms of contraception for their employees: Washington (CNN) — Some corporations have religious rights, a deeply divided Supreme Court decided Monday in ruling that certain for-profit companies cannot be required to pay for specific types of contraceptives for their employees. The 5-4 decision... Read more

Three things you probably didn’t know about the working world

Last updated on: April 6, 2015 at 6:08 pm By Made to Flourish

….according to Owen Strachan of Kern Pastors Network, who recently published a three-part series over on the KPN blog trying to reframe our perspective on a few things. Here are his thoughts: 1) Work is Good. A fan of “The Office,” Owen notes that in his fandom he may have been taking in a warped attitude: One thing I think The Office, a show about work, got largely wrong was this, though: work. As the show portrayed it, work is... Read more

Those sitting in the audience at the recent commencement at the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota instead heard MacLaurinCSF fellow Austin Hermann remind them that business has a higher purpose: The year is 2075.

Will your faith cost you your next job?

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

The June 2014 issue of Christianity Today has an article with the rather surprising title, “Your Faith May Cost You Your Next Job.” Sociologist Bradley R. E. Wright, noticing an uptick in religious discrimination complaints to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission but also the fact that 4 out of 10 complaints were dropped, wondered: One big reason is that discrimination can be surprisingly difficult to prove. If a member of a social group is treated badly, is it because of... Read more

What’s wrong with “do what you love?”

Last updated on: June 27, 2014 at 8:20 am By Jeff Haanen

We’ve said it for so long to graduating college seniors it’s become almost gospel. Do what you love. Do what you’re passionate about. Don’t settle for just a job. Follow your dreams. But is this wisdom or just hot air? Gordon Marino recently wrote an op-ed for the New York Times about his experience at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota. In contrast to the college students who came into his office, “rubbing their hands together, and furrowing their brows,” wondering if they should... Read more
