Navigating the Tensions Between Faith and Work

We all experience tension with our work at times. What if my start-up doesn’t pan out? What if I lose my job? Have I accepted this job because I’m called to it — or just because I’m paid for it? How do I balance work, kids, family, friends, church, and all the busyness of life? What does it mean to be a Christian living and working in the city of Boulder?

Join David Kim, executive director at the Center for Faith & Work and pastor at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, and Bethany Jenkins, director of The Gospel Coalition’s Every Square Inch and director of Vocational & Career Development at The King’s College, for an evening discussing how to navigate the tensions between faith and work.

Kim and Jenkins collaborated on the forthcoming NIV Holy Bible: Faith & Work Edition (Harper Collins, 2016). The project connects historic doctrines like redemption, church, sin and humanity with over 75 stories of men and women who have struggled with the tensions between their faith in work in jobs like restaurant hostess, stand-up comic, occupational therapist, airline pilot, or grocery store manager.

At the event, Kim, Jenkins, and a select select group of Boulder leaders will explore the connections between the biblical narrative and what it means for our work today.
