Work is more than an Office Job
On the Hook
02/20/24 • 46 min
Kuyperian thought says “Christ is Lord over white collar professional work,” right? Those of us who believe in a total world-and-life view of Christianity believe that Christ is Lord over white collar work, blue collar work, and even ... CREATIVE work. And what better way to talk about work in the creative sector than with Rev. Joel Pelsue, founder with his wife, Michelle, of Arts & Entertainment Ministries. A sober, broad, and fun discussion of the arts, of artists, and of the both practical and ideological components of this discussion most particular to creatives.

Sloth is not a Virtue
On the Hook
01/29/24 • 54 min
David is joined by two of his best pals, who also happen to be two of the smartest Christian thinkers out there, on the whole landscape today of evangelical thought and practice around work. They pontificate on why Proverbs was so focused on those working too little, and avoided any focus on those working too much. They wax and wane about how it got to be this bad, and what we can do to make it good again.

By What Standard?
On the Hook
01/22/24 • 55 min
Developing a criteria by which we think about work, about career decisions, about the harmonization of work with other responsibilities and commitments, requires a standard. By what standard does one think about vocational calling, ethical duties, the inherent dignity of a given task or function? For that matter, by what standard does one think about the marketplace, societal spheres of activity, and basic economic structure? The faith/work movement needed to exist before it could be good, but now that it exists it is time to start asking – by what standard is the faith/work movement thinking about faith and work? David is joined by Pastor Douglas Wilson of Moscow, Idaho to explore all this, and so much more.

The Value of Staying Late
On the Hook
01/19/24 • 42 min
What does the message of work mean to middle-aged folks who have been successful and aren’t sure what to do in their lives now? On the other hand, what does it mean to younger people in a church not yet in the midst of career success? Finally, what does it mean for a church staff that might want “not working late” to be a core church value? David is joined by Pastor Jason Smith of St. Andrews Church in Southern California for a discussion of all these issues, and much more!

On the Hook
01/16/24 • 37 min
Jon Tyson currently pastors Church of the City in New York City, a large, energetic, vibrant community of young, aspiring career-oriented people with an intense commitment to mission and community. A long, long time ago, before Jon was one of the most dynamic pastors in the country, he cut meat with a knife. His path from butcher to pastor has always maintained his belief in the dignity and purpose of work, and applying it in a 21st century Manhattan context is a discussion worth listening to!
