Faith & Work

What makes work “meaningful,” and how is a career different from one’s “vocation”?

  • Go through the Bible study during your daily devotion.
  • Read one of the featured stories and journal about how your experience is similar or different.
  • Try out one of the spiritual practices by yourself or with a friend.
  • Invite members of your small group, staff, or board to read an article and summarize it at your next meeting.
  • Include one of these resources in your church's newsletter.

Within this theme we explore the many facets of work that impact our spiritual lives as well as self-understanding. From parenting to working in a dollar store, how we do our work is so much more than checking off a list of tasks.
