5 Ways to Integrate Our Faith & Work

The Christian life is one of constantly receiving and returning, and from this exchange we are deeply formed. One touchpoint where we encounter this exchange is in places of corporate worship. In Matt Kaemingk’s most recent book, Work and Worship: Reconnecting Our Labor and Liturgy, Kaemingk discusses the concept of bringing to the communion table […]

“Weekending” for the Work: Connecting Work and Worship

What makes a human being a human being? Is it that we are homo sapiens — sophisticated animals with the capacity for abstract reasoning and complex language? Or are we homo faber — creators of culture, builders of civilizations and empires?Yes. No. Both.It’s not that these characterizations of human beings are wrong, exactly, but they […]

Your Turn: Giving Thanks

I will give thanks to you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. PSALM 9:1 Start listening to conversations between friends and coworkers about their work. Are those conversations more characterized by frustration and complaining or celebration and gratitude? For most, we’ll more quickly see and lament what is […]

Gratitude: An Unexpected Ending

From my work in cardiovascular research to pastoring churches to the nonprofit space, I’ve learned that good numbers can point to a larger story that leaders should understand.

Your Turn: Redirecting Our Focus

Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business, and make a profit.” You do not even know what will happen tomorrow! What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you […]

Redirection: Charting a Different Path

What was the word every leader grew bone-weary of in 2020? “Pivot.” On March 17, I asked the staff to write down everything they needed to do their job fully from home for the next 60 days. They laughed me off as being wrongly too conservative. Turns out I was wrong. In March, we shifted all of […]

Your Turn: Lamenting Our Losses

For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. COLOSSIANS 3:3–4 In many ways, 2020 was a lost year, a great, gaping void between 2019 and 2021. As the months unfolded, loss mounted upon loss: […]

Lament: The Bang Goes Bust

I still remember reading the headlines in March 2020 that Disney World was closing. For “two weeks,” one of the world’s most recognizable theme parks was shutting down in response to COVID-19. The happiest place on earth would become one of the most desolate. As a native of Florida, I couldn’t remember a scenario like […]

Your Turn: A Cause for Celebration

When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dreamed. Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.” The LORD has done great things for us and we are filled with joy. […]
