Episode 35: God Loves Work #2: How Work Goes Wrong (Genesis 11)
The Tower of Babel is a story about how our work can go wrong, including using technology thoughtlessly, and working so as to "make a name for ourselves." The only antidote for these work mistakes (and others) is prayer.

This is the first of a four part series called God Loves Work, tied to a four day devotional you can do alone or with someone you trust. In this first episode, I look at the first book of the Bible, and invite you to consider how you can prayerfully see God's wonder in your work, as well as discussing liturgies for work.

The book of Acts ends with Paul under arrest, living out his vocation "with all boldness and without hindrance." In part one of two episodes on these verses, I examine how we can pray toward the vocational freedom offered in this passage by coming to understand the relationship between freedom and constraint.

"Dithyrambic Yalp"? Sorry, got a little carried away there. A dithyramb is a type of poem marked by "an inspired wild irregular strain." A yalp is, well, a yalp.

Acts Chapter 15 records how early church leaders came to a compromise regarding a sharply divisive issue. This episode explores how that story can guide our own prayerful decision making, as well as how we can pray and act toward the unity of the Church.

On at least two occasions Jesus refers to the Holy Spirit as "living water." How does this image shape and guide our prayer? What is "peace like a river," and how can we access that peace through prayer?

In this episode we continue our focus on the Holy Spirit during the season of Pentecost. The first two verses of the Bible encourage us in our work, which can mirror and participate in God's own work. We gain confidence to face the chaos and formlessness we often encounter in our vocations, trusting that God is using us to form something that is eternal.

This episode kicks off a series on the Holy Spirit during the season of Pentecost. This text from John describes the resurrected Christ doing two odd things: showing his wounds, and breathing on the disciples. What do these actions mean for our lives, and how might they guide our prayers?
