What I Wish My Pastor Knew About My Job: August 17 Newsletter
Newsletter / Produced by The High Calling
Has your pastor ever visited your workplace? Mentioned the kind of work you do in a sermon? Given you guidance on a tough ethical issue at your job? If so, great. If not, you’re not alone. Many people would like to see more guidance for their 9-5, M-F lives from their Sunday pulpits.
In this newsletter we’ll hear that the call for pastors to equip their people is a biblical one. For those of you who are pastors, we have ten good tips for bridging workplace and worship-place. And a classic article from Christianity Today will remind us to ask for pastoral input and counsel with the tough stuff—and remind pastors to be ready and willing to give it.
Pastors and laypeople alike, the world needs all of us in mission and ministry in the high calling of your daily work. Read on.
