    Contextualizing Faith and Work

    “When we talk about contextualizing," says Dr. Clint Le Bruyns, "what we are doing theologically and in following Christ in and through the world of work, it’s really about being more inclusive . . . being able to open ourselves up to the fullness of the Body of Christ so that we hear a little bit more clearly what God might be saying through the worldwide Church of God.” In this interview with the Theology of Work Project, Dr. Le Bruyns provides some directives for the faith and work movement as it seeks to contextualize the gospel for different workplace contexts. Dr. Le Bruyns is Senior Lecturer in Theology and Development in the School of Religion and Theology at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. www.theologyofwork.org Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheoWorkProject Dr. Clint Le Bruyns Twitter: https://twitter.com/ClintLeBruyns

    Does Success at Work Lead to Failure at Home?

    "Our family experience is the most important experience of our lives," says Dr. Armand Nicholi, Jr., "and on the negative side, the breakdown of the family contributes significantly to the major problems confronting society today." Eschewing the family as a political talking point, Dr. Nicholi discusses his research on the effects of inaccessible or absent parents on children at a Marketplace Forum Network event in Boston. In the talk, he also provides practical guidelines for developing a stable and secure family environment. Dr. Nicholi is well known for his book, The Question of God: C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud Debate God, Love, Sex, and the Meaning of Life. https://www.theologyofwork.org/resources/does-success-at-work-lead-to-failure-at-home
