Synopsis

Do you know the answers to the following questions: What is the spiritual significance of your daily work? What has God called you to do? How do I steward the time entrusted to me? Why is it important to live by a work-sabbath rhythm? Who am I walking with as I journey through life? For most of us, most of our life is taken up with struggles with work, time management, work-life balance, and the hunger for community. This course is aimed at providing biblical wisdom for the bulk of the things that make up our lives. We don’t believe in a sacred-secular divide and therefore seek to honour God with all our lives. This course is for all followers of Jesus Christ. It should prove helpful for laity, helping them to see that all their lives matter to God, and not just the stuff they do in church. The course is also helpful for the clergy as well since they seek to guide their members in how to follow Christ, and that means helping them find meaning in their lives in church and in the world. Clergy and laity alike, we need to know how to live out the totality of our lives for Christ.
