Gospel and Culture: Work Re-Envisioned
Blog / Produced by The High Calling
Deep in conversation with about ten young professionals from different fields around a dinner table in Manhattan a few months ago, I marveled at the ability that these men and women, most of them in their thirties, had in talking about their daily work in ways that are clearly framed by a gospel worldview, without coming across as wannabe theologians or priggish moralists.

Read about the entire conversation and interesting conclusions by Gideon Straus, executive director of the Max De Pree Center for Leadership at Fuller Seminary. His article is found on the Redeemer City to City blog.
