Dad, Stay Home and Play

I pulled the tie to my neck. It was cinched just like my dad had taught me. He called it the four-in-hand. I just called it “good.” I took another look at myself in the full-length mirror. No lint on my shoulder. Shoes polished. Hair combed back. I had been in the new position for just […]

Can You Know the World and Still Love It?

It doesn’t take much to tire of the world’s suffering. Whether it’s the domestic drama of neighbors divorcing or headlines announcing a chemical weapon attack in Syria, we witness pain across the street or across the world every day. It would be easier to keep our heads down, but something prevents us from looking away. […]

The Ordering of Our Loves

Ordo Caritatis. Some words and ideas are worth holding onto, especially ones that take us to deeper places of the heart, that ask us harder questions of the heart — and even more, ones that offer the hope that all is not lost, and that our fragmented selves can be reordered, that we can be […]

Why Leaders Need Literature

When I walk through the door on Friday evening, I can usually feel a slight tingling sensation on my scalp. The speed of the work day – meetings, phone calls, emails, tweets, tasks, problems and exhilarating opportunities – is almost addictive. I can feel my heart rate slightly elevated and my words rushing through my […]
Grace in Silence

A note from the blog editor: In a recent New York Times article, Catholic writer Paul Elie said about the legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese, “Scorsese approaches filmmaking as ‘a priestly avocation, a set of spiritual exercises embedded in technical problems.’” Scoresese’s latest film Silence is based on the 1950s novel by Shusako Endo about 17th […]

Why I Started Denver Institute

Dear friends, I am often asked by friends and donors why I started Denver Institute for Faith & Work (DIFW) back in 2013. Seems like a strange (“esoteric” I’ve heard!) thing to do in the evenings while working a full-time job. I generally answer, “I started DIFW because of three growing convictions in my heart […]

We All Proselytize

“Kelly, what does proselytize mean?” “Evangelize, but with negative connotations.” I had to ask my wife one Sunday night because the word came up in a discussion with a local Christian business leader. I’ll paraphrase what he said: “In my company, we believe in the power of entrepreneurship to create flourishing communities. And I’m very […]

The “Culture Hole” in Our Annual Giving

So many charities, so many choices. This time of year, year-end fundraising appeals pour into our mailboxes. How are we to decide between the many worthy nonprofit causes that are asking for financial support? If you’re anything like Kelly (my wife) and me, you have to make this choice carefully. We’ve set aside a certain […]

Broader, Not Deeper

What will allow more pastors to see the importance of work for their church and its mission? How might the faith and work movement help pastors and seminaries to embrace ministry models that equip men and women to serve Christ in the wide array of professions in our culture today? And why is this so […]
