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 […]

The Resurrection of Place

Places, like people, can die. Cities die because of purposelessness, but they grow through love and hope. The practice of resurrecting life in a city starts in the heart of God’s people, having a hope for its future. I have experienced the call to a place—a “there that is woven into every fiber of my being.” My heart […]

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 […]

Faith in the Workplace: The Four Postures

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? I recently addressed these questions with David Miller who leads Princeton University’s Faith at Work Initiative and is the author of God at Work: The History and Promise of the […]

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 […]

The Miracle of the Reformers: Why Teaching Your Kids Hymns is Good for the Economy

Perhaps the songs we teach our children is one the most important legacies we can leave for posterity. This morning I sat down to breakfast with my wife and four daughters. After eggs and sausage, we listened to the classic hymn “Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of Creation.” My wife educates our […]

If I learned anything from Gisela Kreglinger’s beautiful wine tasting hosted by the Denver Institute for Faith & Work, it is that […]

Moving Forward: Better Addressing Racial Diversity in Our Churches

“The best criticism of the bad is the practice of the better.” – Richard RohrAfter the events in Charlottesville and the aftermath of public commentary, you may have felt sadness, anger, confusion, desire for change. But with the layers of systemic, historical, and personal racial bias fueling these all-too-frequent cultural moments, it’s hard to know how […]

Look Past the Label

The other day I savored a glass of wine described as having “panache,” just one of many wine words that confound me. At times, I wonder if vintners scour a thesaurus when designing wine labels, or if I just don’t understand and appreciate a good wine. That’s why I’m thrilled to be organizing Denver Institute’s […]
