How do I find Jesus at work?

Last updated on: August 19, 2014 at 2:18 pm   By Patheos Faith and Work Channel

Our friends at the Washington Institute for Faith, Vocation, and Culture recently posted some thoughtful reflections from Madison Perry on what believing in the resurrection means–and how it makes a difference as we struggle with the everyday issues of work and life: An eye for beauty enhances our appreciation of life’s tragedy, and gives the tragic a new place to make sense. Christ’s resurrection is a fact and gives us a way to realistically embrace the beauty and the hard realities... Read more

A bonus post for those of you who celebrate Ascension Day today

Last updated on: August 19, 2014 at 2:18 pm   By Patheos Faith and Work Channel

What in the world does the seemingly obscure theological point of Jesus ascending into heaven have to do with our work?    Laura Merzig Fabrycky of the Washington Institute for Faith, Vocation, and Culture puts it beautifully here: So, as you pour your coffee, perhaps reflecting on the fun or disappointments of the long Memorial Day weekend, gird your heart today for the work you will face and the tasks you will accomplish with this simple truth: Christ ascended into heaven and... Read more

How can I follow God in my work?

Last updated on: May 29, 2014 at 9:54 am   By Made to Flourish

Recently on the Kern Pastors Network blog Aaron Brockmeier reflected on his own foolishness.  Moving from a very dark time in college to a saving encounter with the Gospel, there was still something missing: When I heard the gospel of Jesus, it was like fresh water, reviving my soul. The campus ministry that shared Christ with me was a wonderfully refreshing light in an otherwise dark and difficult season of my life. Although this college ministry provided a solid foundation... Read more

Are you “being good” at your job? Or just good enough?

Last updated on: August 19, 2014 at 2:18 pm   By Patheos Faith and Work Channel

A recent article from the New York Times called “Being Good Isn’t the Only Way to Go” spotlights the fact that many people seek to volunteer outside of work because they are less than thrilled with their jobs. It begins: LAST September, the networking site LinkedIn added a feature that allowed its members to say whether they wanted to volunteer or serve on the board of a nonprofit. In just eight months, one million members raised their virtual hands. But here’s... Read more

Five myths about the millennial worker

Last updated on: April 26, 2014 at 11:09 pm   By Institute for Faith, Work, and Economics

Millennials are rising from their futons, emerging from their parents’ basements, and stepping out of their dorms into a brave new world of employment and one of the most challenging economies in modern history. As a new generation is now entering the workforce, how should Christian employers prepare to hire employees that look and act like their own kids? Read more

Relationships and generational poverty

Last updated on: April 22, 2014 at 9:55 pm   By Made to Flourish

One-way giving is no proof of interest in another person’s welfare. Relationships are real compassion. Suffering with our poor brothers and sisters through life together is the only real solution to end the cycle of generational poverty. Read more
