Two inspiring videos from the LifeWork Gathering

Share This Post

Earlier this month, eight Christian leaders from around the world gathered at Darrow Miller’s home in the mountains for nine days to discuss and apply the teachings of his book LifeWork: A Biblical Theology for What You Do Every Day. It was a rich time of relationship building, dreaming, and planning how to take these important messages into each person’s respective community.

To get a sense of the impact of this book on some of its readers, check out these short video clips….

As someone who is in “full time ministry” in the sense that I make my living preaching and teaching the Bible, I have increasingly had the same revelation –> That it is not how many people that are mobilized into “ministry” that measures success. The goal is to teach people that all of life comes under the Lordship of Christ.

“Life Work” is sacred and beautiful to God.

Amen!

The Imago Dei

What is your purpose as a Christian? To glorify God? To become Christlike and shine His light? Yes, but how… where does God most clearly lay out His purpose for humanity? In Genesis. This is when God created the world overflowing with beauty and potential, placed humans in it, and presented His first commision for us. Together we will unpack what it means to be made imago Dei, in the image of God. Understanding this concept is critical, and there are consequences if we do not. Learn how an understanding of imago Dei can change individuals, businesses, communities, and nations so that they flourish in the mission God’s given them.

Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder with Brian Chan

Truth, goodness, and beauty are the hallmarks of the Kingdom of God, but sadly we often overlook the “beauty.” We all see a crystal clear river and say it is beautiful. We see another stagnate with debris and trash and say it is polluted and ugly. Why do we share this universal understanding of beauty? Where does this shared understanding come from? There is an intrinsic answer here that points straight back to our Creator. Today we are joined by artist, entrepreneur, professor, author, speaker, and pastor Brian S. Chan. Brian wrote his thesis on the beauty of God and art in worship and has never looked back as he continues to share and deepen his understanding of beauty and the Kingdom. During our discussion, we asked is beauty objective, where does it come from, why do humans pursue ugliness, when did the church have a vision for beauty, and what does a theology of beauty look like? Last, we get practical and ask how can each of us apply this concept into our daily lives.
