Helping young people get to know God

Ne, Us

Taught a class (or two) on the Theology of Work. This course served as "an invitation to discover work's role in God's economy." It was designed "to help illuminate the transformative and revolutionary connection between Christian faith and the workplace." The course introduced the student to the biblical, theological, historical and cultural perspectives of work as well as the personal and practical application of faith and work integration. Students explored this integration through the rubric of the Christian worldview - Creation, Fall, Redemption, Restoration (Kingdom of God); the theology of vocation, personal vocational calling, and strategic initiatives to engage in meaningful, kingdom work. Finally, the course presented a complete understanding of the multiple applications of a business-as-mission mindset.
