We are beginning a new 6-part series called Faith, Work, Mercy and Justice. How do we understand the God of mercy and justice at work in the world? What does it mean to be redeemed and set apart to join him in that work? How do we steward vocational power for the marginalized? Sponsored by The Global Faith and Work Initiative at Redeemer City to City, Teena joins Kimberly Deckel and Lauren Gill as we showcase men and women who are creatively pursuing mercy and justice in their respective fields. Each case study tells us a story of how an individual encountered the brokenness in their industry and caught a vision for what it looks like for the kingdom of God to break through their field of work.

In this first episode, Teena, Kimberly, and Lauren discuss the launch of the new mini-series and then interview Teena about how she stewarded vocational power in the hospitality industry.
