Work, Profession, Job, Vocation, Occupation, Career or Calling? Getting Clear on Language About Work

The Danger of Unexamined Assumptions

It’s been over a decade since I first started thinking about my financial planning career as a potential ministry. But only more recently have I really sought – and struggled – to reconcile the words of scripture pertaining to money with the prevailing wisdom of the financial industry.

Women: We’re Co-Workers, Not Competitors

My mom didn’t work at an office, but she wasn’t a “stay-at-home” mom. After my brothers and I started school, she was rarely “at home.” Instead, she was volunteering in our classrooms, visiting sick neighbors at hospitals, taking meals to new parents, and organizing logistics for the funerals of loved ones. Her unpaid work wasn’t […]

Why Leaders Need Literature

When I walk through the door on Friday evening, I can usually feel a slight tingling sensation on my scalp. The speed of the work day – meetings, phone calls, emails, tweets, tasks, problems and exhilarating opportunities – is almost addictive. I can feel my heart rate slightly elevated and my words rushing through my […]
