Affirmation and Inspiration

Anne Griffin is the worship and implementation pastor at Trailhead Church, a member of Denver Institute’s Church Partnership Network. We spoke recently about how she engages in conversations about faith and work, and how her connections with other church leaders have empowered her to learn more about vocation for herself and for the sake of […]

Reawakening God’s Imagination for Vocation

Brandon Addison and I spoke recently about how he engages people in conversations about faith and work, the moral dilemmas encountered across industries, and the importance of community through it all. Why did The Neighborhood Church choose to join the Denver Institute’s Church Partnership Network? I just moved from Nashville about seven months ago, and […]

Why I Started Denver Institute

Dear friends,I am often asked by friends and donors why I started Denver Institute for Faith & Work (DIFW) back in 2013. Seems like a strange (“esoteric” I’ve heard!) thing to do in the evenings while working a full-time job.I generally answer, “I started DIFW because of three growing convictions in my heart about the […]
We’re Passing the 101 Class, but Not With “As”

Last week, the 2016 Faith@Work Summit gathered leaders in the movement around an intriguing conference theme: moving faith and work conversations deeper and broader, or from the “Faith@Work 101 to the 201 level.” As a rabid Liverpool fan, I’ve come to love English soccer match summaries taking the form of “Three Things We Learned About […]
A Better Starting Point for the Faith and Work Movement (Part 2)

In my last post, I mulled over all the times I buzzed around the topic of faith and work with pastors, only to bump into the screen door of misunderstanding time and time again. Sometimes I felt like a fly; other times like a mime trying to get my message across with frantic hand gestures.Either […]
A Better Starting Point for the Faith and Work Movement (Part 1)

One of my continual shortcomings as the executive director of Denver Institute for Faith & Work is that I’ve rarely framed our mission so we’re clearly understood – especially by pastors.More than once, my initial enthusiasm for all things “faith and work” is seen by good, godly pastoral leaders as a niche-y ministry that will likely […]

Don’t Buy A One-Way Ticket to Canada Yet

True confession: It’s only May, and I’m already tired of election season. Don’t get me wrong, I worry about the societal effects shifting the balance of the Supreme Court would have and cringe at the thought of releasing Donald Trump, a leader with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, on the world stage. I haven’t booked […]
A Prayer for Before Work

My Heavenly Father, as I enter this work place, I bring Your presence with me. I speak Your peace, Your grace, Your mercy, and Your perfect order into this office. I acknowledge Your power over all that will be spoken, thought, decided, and done within these walls. Lord, I thank you for the gifts you […]
A Theology for “All Things”

I’ve often found that God first teaches me something about my work (such a practical place to learn) and then kneads that lesson throughout my life. Here’s an example: Through seeking wisdom from scripture about the role of work in the kingdom of God, I first noticed the repeated use of the phrase “all things.” Scripture shows us that Christ is the Lord who […]
For Such a Time as This

By Bethany JenkinsOn a flight from London to New York, Mark Campisano sat next to a senior partner of his firm. When dinner arrived, knowing that many of his colleagues held unfavorable opinions of Christians and their faith, Mark didn’t want to trigger any negative stereotypes or give thanks “so as to be seen by […]
The Work of the Pastor

By Trevor Lee If all work is profoundly valuable, what’s the point of being a pastor? I didn’t have a good answer for that question. I had been on a multiyear journey discovering the importance of all work — that generative work is an important part of what it means to bear the image of God […]

What Greg Thompson Can Teach Us About Living as Christians in Cities

Occasionally you meet somebody that shines with such virtue that you are, perhaps for the first time, made aware of your own poverty of spirit.When I met Greg Thompson during our Thriving Cities symposium in late October, I almost immediately felt the weight of his glory. Before speaking to the crowd, he almost desperately asked […]
