More from Tom Nelson at Redeeming Work (Twin Cities): Picturing parishioners in their cubicles

Last updated on: June 16, 2014 at 3:16 pm By Chris Armstrong

Tom Nelson, pastor of metro Kansas City’s Christ Community Church and author of Work Matters: Connecting Sunday Worship to Monday Work, talked a lot at the Redeeming Work event about the robust theology of everyday work his congregation has tried to cultivate….and you can read about it in my two previous posts on his talk, here and here. But that’s not the only way they try to bring Monday back into Sunday at Christ Church. They aim for a regular liturgical emphasis on work–in worship. Language... Read more

“Is this not Joseph’s son, the blue-collar worker?” More from Tom Nelson at Redeeming Work (Twin Cities)

Last updated on: June 16, 2014 at 11:22 am By Chris Armstrong

Tom Nelson, pastor of metro Kansas City’s Christ Community Church and author of Work Matters: Connecting Sunday Worship to Monday Work, had plenty to tell us as we munched oversize muffins about what’s going on in Genesis 2. And it’s not, he said, what we commonly think of. Tom argued that Genesis 2 is a story about how humans fit in as image bearers with the work of God in the world. So often preachers go right to the topic of marriage when they... Read more

Tom Nelson at Redeeming Work (Twin Cities): Work is not just what we get paid for

Last updated on: June 16, 2014 at 10:49 am By Chris Armstrong

A highlight of the recent Redeeming Work Twin Cities conference was Tom Nelson, pastor of metro Kansas City’s Christ Community Church and author of Work Matters: Connecting Sunday Worship to Monday Work. Tom opened by telling a story on himself. At a posh benefit dinner, Tom had successfully avoided “outing himself” as a pastor until . . . a redoubtable society woman greeted him loudly across a table of formally dressed movers and shakers: “Pastor Tom!” she said. And Tom... Read more

Exciting news!

Last updated on: June 13, 2014 at 5:16 pm By Theology of Work Project

Our friends at Theology of Work Project have some pretty exciting news to announce today: they’ve just released an entire new commentary–online immediately and in print in October–dealing with the subject of work in the Bible. It’s written by a top-notch group of scholars, pastors, executives, and workers, and tackles questions like these: I’m not a minister. Does God care about my work? Does he call people to ordinary jobs? My job is to promote my product. Is it... Read more

What’s the path to human flourishing? An intriguing suggestion from Andy Crouch

Last updated on: January 12, 2015 at 11:28 am By Chris Armstrong

At Leadership Journal‘s Redeeming Work Twin Cities event yesterday, Andy Crouch winds up his thought-provoking opening talk with a magic (well, how about “providential”) formula for human flourishing through human work. Ready? Authority + Vulnerability = Flourishing More than any other creature, he argues, image bearers (humans) have Authority, and Vulnerability. Authority = capacity for meaningful action (more than any other creature) Vulnerability = exposure to meaningful risk (more than any other creature) We humans are exposed to risk, and... Read more

Andy Crouch on why we can’t see the faith-work connection: “We’re missing chapters of our Bible.”

Last updated on: January 12, 2015 at 11:26 am By Chris Armstrong

Andy Crouch said something provocative (well, more than one thing provocative) at the Redeeming Work conference here in the Twin Cities yesterday. By way of explaining why today’s Christians have been so blind to the spiritual significance of everyday work, Andy made this blunt claim: “We are missing chapters of our Bible.” Huh? Really? Is this like the extra Gnostic stuff Elaine Pagels has been telling us about? Nope. Andy says we’re missing the first two and the last two... Read more

How God made us to “make something of the world” (Andy Crouch at Redeeming Work Twin Cities, part II)

Last updated on: January 12, 2015 at 11:22 am By Chris Armstrong

Redeeming Work Twin Cities was full of pleasant surprises for me. For one thing, I’m a longtime fan of Ken Myers, founder/interviewer at Mars Hill Audio Journal. So I perked up when Andy Crouch used Ken’s concise definition of culture: “What human beings make of the world—in both senses.” The two senses, explained Andy, are these: First, culture is simply the things we make – material – chairs, furniture, pews, clothing, projectors, microphones, interstate highways. Even speech is an act... Read more

Rubber gloves or muddy hands? Andy Crouch at Redeeming Work (Twin Cities)

Last updated on: January 12, 2015 at 11:20 am By Chris Armstrong

Yesterday morning at Art House North in St Paul, MN, the mixed audience of pastors and marketplace workers grabbed a coffee and muffin-the-size-of-your-head and headed for the pews of this unique space to begin a stimulating day’s conversation on faith and work, sponsored by Leadership Journal and the Kern Family Foundation. After musician and Art House North co-owner Sara Groves opened up with a simple worship song (if she were my worship leader, I’d never miss church!), Christianity Today Executive... Read more
