Do you have a story about encountering God in your work? I’d love to run it on my blog.
Christians talk easily about God’s interest in spiritual things—he wants us to pray, to read our Bibles, to share the gospel—but we have a harder time articulating his passion for our work lives. Does he really care about how we earn our paychecks, or just that we’re honest and kind while we do it?
That’s why I need your help. God does cares about the tasks that fill our day, but we need to rediscover a language for talking about it. Together, one story at a time, we can stitch together a picture of God’s passion for our work and how he extends his order and creativity through our various callings—whether we’re engineers, painters, or kindergarten teachers.
Send me your idea or a draft of the story and I’ll let you know within two weeks if it’s a good fit for the blog.
