The Offensive Generosity of God

The parables of Jesus have a way of pulling off the veil and revealing what we really love and care about.  They often challenge our deeply held beliefs.  This is especially true of Jesus’ “Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard” in Matthew 20: 1-16.    Jesus tells the story of a landowner who goes […]

Can You Know the World and Still Love It?

It doesn’t take much to tire of the world’s suffering. Whether it’s the domestic drama of neighbors divorcing or headlines announcing a chemical weapon attack in Syria, we witness pain across the street or across the world every day. It would be easier to keep our heads down, but something prevents us from looking away.Why […]

The Ordering of Our Loves

Ordo Caritatis. Some words and ideas are worth holding onto, especially ones that take us to deeper places of the heart, that ask us harder questions of the heart — and even more, ones that offer the hope that all is not lost, and that our fragmented selves can be reordered, that we can be […]

Healing My Wounded Perception of Ambition

When it comes to our dreams, most of us fall into one of two camps. We’re either charging forward, meeting challenges as they come, despite the fear or insecurities we might feel. Or we’re crippled by those fears, always waiting on just the right moment to start, and often stalled out before our dreams come […]

The Danger of Being a ‘Doer’

A young woman stares at us looking exhausted – and yet, exhilarated. She is fueled by coffee and (we can presume) little else. Her cheeks are hollowed and her hair disheveled, implying that her body is worn out by speed and demand of her work. Her sleep-deprived state is compared to drug use. She is […]

10 Steps Toward Becoming a Culturally-Engaged Church

We’ve made huge strides in the past several years on bringing the topic of work to church. But I’ve noticed an ongoing tension. It’s a tension between what we say about work on Sunday and what we do (or don’t do). On the one hand, talk of “faith & work” and cultural engagement have been popping […]

The Public Good of Faith Expressed Through Work

It’s often assumed that faith is a private matter. Fine for your personal life, but less appropriate in the workplace or public life. Yet time and time again, I’ve seen that when faith becomes a public matter – and is expressed as working for the good of one’s neighbor – there are transformative results for […]

Radicalized by Gratitude

The parable of the prodigal son has a lot to teach us.  It can profoundly impact how we view relationships, forgiveness, repentance, pride, and the nature of God’s grace.  But it should also instruct us in another way, by making us consider how we should think about money.     In Jesus’ parable, the younger son […]
