What if faith and work integration begins not with our job title, but with understanding the landscape we're standing in?

In this episode, Dr. Cory Wilson helps us see that Scripture presents multiple visions of work and public life, each emerging from a different social, political, and cultural context. Through five biblical landscapes, he explores how agency, power, and possibility vary from one environment to another, and how God's people are invited to participate faithfully within each one.

This conversation expands the faith and work discussion beyond one-size-fits-all answers, offering a nuanced framework for leaders, workers, and communities seeking to embody the biblical story wherever they find themselves.

Dr. Wilson is the Jake and Betsy Tuls Professor of Missiology, World Christianity, and Public Theology and Director of the Institute for Mission, Church, & Culture at Calvin Theological Seminary.

For Candace Mililani Tabuchi, PhD, faith, work and culture intersect in profound ways. Growing up on Kaua'i, she was shaped by the culture embedded in her family and community. For Candace the "work of welcome" resonates deeply with the Spirit of Aloha of her home culture, and of course, this is deeply resonate with her Christian faith. Aunty Candace, as I know her, radiates wisdom and welcome and has so much to offer us.

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.
