Good Work Matters for Everyone Everywhere

And the doors clanged shut.It is only grace that makes it be that I haven’t spent most of life in prison. The few times I have walked in, I have walked out.A long time ago now, I was asked to spend a week of my 19 year-old summer with a group of juvenile delinquents, as […]

Male and Female He Made us – Thriving Together in the Workplace

It started as a drip. And then it turned to a steady trickle and then a stream. And now it’s a river of accusations, denials, resignations and firings over sexual harassment. I don’t have to list the names. You know many of them as they span the political, moral and religious spectrum.   Time Magazine […]

How to Keep Going in 2018

On the Friday before New Year’s, I came into the office with no one here. (I tell the team to take a “holiday, holiday” where no one works between Christmas and New Years—it’s amazingly refreshing for all of us.) And coming in gave me a chance to plan out my calendar perfectly. You should see […]

How should I think about the role of faith in my company? How do corporations in America today handle issues surrounding spirituality in the workplace?

Finding Satisfaction at Work

I tucked the envelope under the stack of folders in my arm. It came in the company mail with my name on it. I knew what was in it—a gift certificate from headquarters to a fast-food restaurant that didn’t even have a branch within 300 miles. A weak attempt to thank me for my work. […]

Satisfying Work in the New Jerusalem

What’s heaven like? In Isaiah 65, God promises to create new heavens and a new earth, to undo a world of suffering and renew his beloved Jerusalem. “See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. But be glad and rejoice […]

The Prayer of Awareness

In the busyness of my life, who really has time to pray? Several weeks ago I sat down with my friend and spiritual mentor Barry Rowan. Though I wouldn’t say I was too busy to pray – especially not to Barry, a giant in the faith compared to me – when the conversation turned to […]

Cookies at Work: The Relational Power of Hospitality in the Workplace

If you have ever seen the film Babette’s Feast, you know the power of exceptional food and wine to foster the healing of broken relationships. For those unfamiliar with the film, the narrative culminates in an extravagant meal that mediates grace to an unsuspecting group of people. As they dine on each successive course, these […]

“It Is Good”: A 5280 Fellows Experience

I’m currently going through the nine-month 5280 Fellowship, studying the intersection of work and faith. I think a lot of people, including myself, struggle with the question of what intrinsic value our work brings to the world. As a sales professional, how I can be of value outside of just strictly driving profits to the bottom line? […]

Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker

Handmade soaps. Artisan ginger ale. Bottled perfumes. Small-batch roasted coffee. Custom meats.  Craft breweries. If you are noticing resurgence in goods and services produced by people using traditional artisan skills, you’re not alone. There is a growing respect and deep interest in the do-it-yourself trades. It’s no longer a surprise to find people actually making […]

The Quiet Unraveling of Work in America

On August 1, 2007, the I35W Mississippi River bridge in Minneapolis looked like any other bridge in America. Commuters stuck in rush hour were waiting impatiently, talking on their phones and assuming they would get safely to their destination. Yet at 6:05 p.m., a strange noise was heard lurking underneath. Suddenly, the bridge collapsed, sending […]
