Faith, Work & Rest

From Christ's incarnation to his crucifixion to the final restoration, how does faith in Jesus as Creator and Redeemer of all things shape a holistic vision of occupational therapy? And what wisdom comes from a vantage point of disability and restoration that helps us to understand the Son of Man at a deeper level?
This conversation with seminarian and occupational therapist John Manning is both deeply encouraging and deeply challenging to what we take for granted and what we can hope for in the coming reign of King Jesus.

What does Ancient Greece have to do with modern-day entrepreneurship? How does wisdom from post-genocide Rwanda speak to the founders and to our collective faith? Can virtue offer us unifying language that may help provide some boundaries for our shared life and entrepreneurial endeavors? This conversation with Carter Crockett, PhD is philosophical rich and yet always returning to the practical questions we face as we wake up each day and try to build a life that echoes eternity in a fragmented world. We're so glad you're joining us for this conversation.

Life under the sun has always been a life in flux. And yet, I think we can all agree that the world is spinning faster these days. Changes are exponential and our awareness of the brokenness in the world feels limitless. But our limitations as people remain. We are still called to a place, to a community, to our specific callings and vocation. To particular assignments that require our attention, today. We need new, more textured, wisdom for navigating our work and life in a way that is sustainable, full of love and able to meet the challenges we collectively face. Lisa Slayton offers such wisdom through her years of experience working with leaders. We're excited for you to tune in to our first episode of our Wisdom Series: Faith, Work & Rest.

Episode Summary:
In this moving episode, Teena Dare is joined by Clint Leavitt and Bikonzi Moise to explore the redemptive power of story and relationship. Bikonzi shares his family’s miraculous journey from the Congo, surviving a concentration camp, and ultimately resettling in the United States. Together with Clint, who co-authored a book about Bikonzi’s life, they discuss the importance of telling stories that humanize and connect us, especially in a world often divided by single narratives and stereotypes. Bikonzi also describes some of the people in the US who loved him and his family in transformational ways simply by seeing through the barriers to the wonderful gift they are.
