Move at the speed of the Spirit, not the speed of crisis, opportunity, or money. The Spirit’s speed is always slow enough to ensure spaciousness for depth of relationship.

As part of the Surge Network Faith, Work & Rest Podcast, CTC’s Global Faith & Work Initiative (GFWI) is sponsoring six episodes focused on how faith and work intersects with mercy and justice.

Let’s take another look at this first episode and consider Kimberly’s question: How might we form communities in our work places and industries that collectively embody justice, mercy and faith through our work? Listen to full podcast here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fai…

In this video, Kimberly Deckel encourages us to think about how we steward our power and influence to better serve those in our places of work who have less power than us or have been pushed to the margins.

This concept is central to this week’s episode featuring John Onwuchekwa with Portrait Coffee. As part of the Surge Network’s Faith, Work & Rest Podcast, CTC’s Global Faith & Work Initiative (GFWI) is sponsoring 6 episodes on how faith & work intersects with mercy & justice.

In the podcast, John talks about how he is stewarding his power as he confronts the vast inequities between those who grow and cultivate coffee beans and those who ultimately benefit from the final product.

Can’t wait to be with my friends and colleagues at Missional Training Center and the Surge Network later this week to talk together about the structures of congregational outreach and the roles of elders, deacons and other Jesus-followers in the redemptive drama playing out on our local stages.
