What Can I Really Do?

Saving More Than Souls

Almost 15 years ago, my co-pastors and I stumbled into a theological conversation during an annual vision casting session when one of them asked us, “How would you summarize ‘the gospel’ in one word?” My word? “Forgiveness,” I offered, too confidently.

How will the Church in the 21st century “equip the saints for works of service” (Eph. 4:12) for the vast challenges we face in the world today? This seems overwhelming at first blush.

Artificial Intelligence and Job Loss

There is growing concern about an AI-driven future in which there aren’t enough jobs to go around. Not just a shortage of good jobs, mind you, but a shortage of jobs, period. A swelling chorus of economists, and other experts, foresee a future in which highly-skilled, well-paid jobs exist only for a shrinking minority. For […]

From Colleague to Neighbor

“I grew up in the church and work wasn’t something that was preached,” said Adrienne Tafilowski, the Culture and Care Team Director at L&R Pallet and 5280 Fellowship alumna. “There weren’t small groups dedicated to the theme; people weren’t recommending books on the topic.

A Fellow’s Project: Tackling the Risks of Social Media Technology

For all its redemptive potential, we often hear about technology’s darker sides: a retail company loses customer credit card information; a popular social media platform sells user data to advertisers; and a search engine skims private emails to deliver relevant ads. Making matters worse, the apps on our smartphones seem to command our attention rather […]

10 Ways Our Pastors Are Struggling

We each have our private struggles and discouragements, but we sometimes expect our leaders to be immune to the challenges that come with careers, relationships, and families. Sadly, the people meant to encourage and equip believers sometimes do so out of their own lonely and dark spaces. Our pastors and ministry leaders struggle, sometimes quietly, […]

Maybe My Boss Isn’t So Bad

Many of us have a story (or more) of working for a terrible boss. Between moral flaws, lack of qualifications, or an inability to manage well, bad bosses make work terrible for everyone. At DIFW, we believe that God calls each of us to redeem the broken parts of our work, but this can be […]
