How can faith-based organizations, civic leaders, and business leaders join forces to tackle city-wide challenges? This episode dives into three powerful case studies focused on housing affordability, showcasing how collaboration is driving real change in Colorado. You'll hear firsthand stories from: Stu Davis, founder of COS I Love You, on how churches, businesses, and civic leaders in Colorado Springs are working together to address housing and community needs. Jessica Dominguez, owner of Love Thy Neighbor Real Estate and director of Abundant Ground, on how Denver churches are reimagining land use to create affordable housing. Michelle Warren, president of Rago Strategies, on advocating for groundbreaking policy changes to unlock housing potential on faith-owned properties. These leaders are meeting their cities' toughest challenges with creativity, persistence, and faith. Their stories will inspire you to reimagine how collaboration can bring God's hope and life to your own community. On Working Better Together: "And even though our temptation is to sometimes want to be the deliverer of support, a meal, a shelter bed, a hand around the shoulder, we also get to partner with agencies and organizations who do that every single day. And so Matthew 25 can be exercised by handing somebody a meal. It can also be exercised by providing additional resources and firepower and sustainability to the organizations who do that very thing, whatever problem it is that they're trying to solve. So I'm a big believer in both, and I just think that it's worth the opportunity for us to step into those partnerships and create the kind of collaboration that I think can happen when we do." -Stu Davis On Challenges of Collaboration: "So partnership is key. Having Michelle and Brian in my corner has been so great. I think the challenges with getting development going is the amount of time it takes, the amount of money it costs just to do some pre-development work. I also think that, oh, I know that churches are kind of waiting a long time before making the decision, and then it puts them in a spot where they have to make maybe a quick decision where they're not able to take their time to do their due diligence." - Jessica Dominguez On Ego: “And so we really need to understand that the whole process of collaboration, which is also in government called democracy, is its strongest when we have all the voices there having the opportunity and equal voice to speak into it. So I would just say is come full of conviction, but hold your positions with a little bit of open handedness so that you can build bridges to other people." - Michelle Warren RESOURCES Download the episode transcript Learn more about the Denver Institute's FOR Campaign See the full Tamarac Scale COS I Love You Website (Sign Up for thier Newsletter Here!) “The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood.

Dave and Monica Hickman are entrepreneurs whose leadership has been marked by believing that Jesus doesn't want a relationship with us; he wants to be one with us. The Hickmans founded SocialHub, a business in North Carolina that creates community-building events for luxury apartment communities and they share some of their journey in this episode about how this new perspective to their faith and work has influenced how they lead. This shift from a constant striving to "be closer" to Jesus to recognizing an inherent unity that already exists—a concept also grounded in John 17—has had practical implications in their personal lives and in modeling their understanding of unity with Christ in a business context. Highlights On proximity to Jesus: “For me, all the striving was just neutralized because you're starting from the finish line. Instead of this journey that so many of us are used to of praying to receive Christ... the next steps in your Christian journey was to get closer and closer to Jesus over time. And while that's motivating to some degree because you're working towards something, it can also be really detrimental to your spiritual health as well, and turning you into just a Christian workaholic of always trying harder. And I think that's why Jesus always would point to our hearts. But it's not quite as sexy as saying to someone like, 'Hey, you already have everything that you could ever get.' You're as close to Christ now as you will ever experience between here and new creation. So now it's learning what's true of you having already arrived, learning what's true of you as 'the beloved Son in whom he loves, in whom he's well pleased,' that declaration over Jesus." - Dave Hickman On the art of hospitality: "I think just who we are as people and really driving hospitality, connecting people, enjoying life with others has kind of flown not only from us but from our staff, because they're just so amazing and they really do care for people. And I think that is really what sets us apart in the industry. Not only being able to create unique experiences for people on site but welcome them in a warm way, showing respect, being kind, being a good person." - Monica Hickman Resources Download the episode transcript.

Ben Nussbaum, VP of Sales at OnCenter and associate director of Faith & Work Chicago, opens up about what it's really like to stay true to your faith in the ups and downs of a sales career. He talks about the struggle of selling products he wasn't fully behind and how he found a way to align his sales approach with his Christian beliefs. Ben also shares how practicing spiritual disciplines like prayer helps him stay grounded in the high-pressure world of meeting a quota and encourages leaders to create workplaces that honor the dignity of every employee. His approach to serving clients with integrity, even when it's tough, is an inspiring model for Christians in any business role. On finding stability: “That is the daily reality they live in. Either the highs are high and I think I'm awesome, or the lows are low and I think I suck. It's very hard to find equilibrium or middle ground as a disciple. And that's acually why I think the gospel is such a balm for the salesperson.” On faith in work: “What Christ has to say to us when he says, 'blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth,' that has to mean something for the way we send emails, the way we do someone's taxes, the way that we defend someone in court, the way that we script a cold call. Whatever it is, right? It's our responsibility. This is what it means to be image bearers to live out that reality or that story." On failure: "You failed. You had a crappy performance review. You didn't hit your Q3 quota, like I don't know what it is. Christ takes the failures and those who have lost much and makes something wonderful out of them. So you know, every time I miss a quota or don't hit a deadline or I didn't measure up in my job, I'm reminded that God chose what is weak to shame the strong. It is the power of God that's made perfect in my weakness. So, be weak. Be comfortable with losing. It might mean that God is ready to use you." Download the episode transcript.

Romanita Hairston, CEO of the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust, delivers a powerful reflection on leadership, faith, and purpose. She reveals how her journey through nonprofits, tech, and philanthropy is deeply intertwined with her identity as a woman and follower of Christ. With bold inspiration from Martin Luther King Jr., Hairston challenges leaders to rise above cultural norms, embrace their full potential, and build a "Beloved Community" rooted in love and justice. She urges listeners to lead with curiosity, courage, and conviction, offering a vision of leadership that transforms not only workplaces but entire communities through faith and service. On whole-life integration: “That leads to lots of different ways we have to see ourselves in lots of different contexts. When our relationship to our children and our family is different, with the way we keep and care for our community can sometimes be different, when a lot of things become different about how we show up in environments because we are women. But it's always mediated through this question of ‘Who has God called me to be and how does that lead me to show up in this space?'” On leading with curiosity: “Women have a powerful ability to lead with curiosity. And that [saying] ‘tell me more' is I think a bit of a superpower in what women can bring to a conversation. Leading with curiosity and courage. Because it's not always, it doens't always feel safe to be curious in a context where you're supposed to know. So I think that's an unique encouragement to any leader but a very unique encouragement to women to use that superpower of curiosity.” Hear more from Romanita Hairston at Women, Work & Calling Annual Event Friday, November 1, 2024 where she will be our keynote speaker!

Tune into the Faith & Work Podcast as we kick off a four-part summer series featuring some of our best content filled with practical takeaways and great insights. For our third encore episode this summer, we explore key questions about calling. How do we discover our calling? What's the difference between our occupation and our vocation? Can they even be the same thing? This interview was recorded at one of Denver Institute's earliest events where author, educator, and organizational leader Steven Garber, joins us to talk about a broader vision for vocation. Highlights On exploring my calling: "This question of 'my calling before God and service to the world' has to be marked by a deep honest sense of humility." On vocation and occupation: "I make a distinction between vocation and occupation: vocation is the deeper, longer word that makes sense of your life and mine. It's the deeper reality. It's the deeper story that makes sense of who you are, that makes sense of who you are different than your brother and your father and your best friend and your wife and your neighbor...Occupation is a word that gets at what I do day-by-day." On the tension of work: "Everybody, everywhere has some sense of tension between what I think I was meant to do, what I really want to do, and what I have to do."

Are you tired of living a disintegrated life? Do you want to feel whole, be an integrated self?

The internal health of our lives deeply affects who we are becoming and the quality of work we can offer to the world. So how do we practice emotional and vocational health in our lives, and what might it look like? In this episode of The Faith & Work Podcast, we discuss Denver Institute's founder Jeff Haanen's newest book Working from the Inside Out. "Working from the Inside Out pulls back the veil on the deep emotional and vocational challenges faced by the majority of workers and shows how work can become a way to love God, serve our neighbors, and demonstrate the gospel to the world. Bringing together emotional, relational, vocational, intellectual, and civic health through the seamless thread of vocation, Jeff Haanen offers a way out of the disintegration of our culture and toward a reintegrated life lived in response to God's voice."

Entrepreneurs build things. We create. Innovate. We follow in God's footsteps by forming new things.But, how often do we think about our own formation? How our habits and our work are shaping us into becoming certain kinds of people?This week on the show, Rusty talks with Jeff Haanen, the founder and former executive director of the Denver Institute of Faith and Work and the author of the recently released book: “Working From the Inside Out: A Brief Guide to Inner Work That Transforms Our Outer World.”As a veteran of the movement, Jeff understands the unique place entrepreneurs fit within it. While most Christians struggle to find meaning and purpose in their work, entrepreneurs face the opposite problem. We often put too much emphasis on what we do and root our whole identity in it.So what would it look like for us to be formed by something larger than our businesses?

On today's episode, we're joined by Joanna Meyer, Founder of Women, Work, and Calling at The Denver Institute of Faith and Work. Together, we go deep into the complex and rewarding landscape of understanding God's call in the lives of women and their work. We start by exploring the biblical foundation of callings, laying out the unique roles that both Adam and Eve were assigned. Joanna reveals the profound implications of "the fall" on these roles and the callings of men and women in general. The episode is enriched with the concept of "vocational imagination," a term that Joanna beautifully defines, providing actionable insights on how modern women can use this to navigate life. We talk about the roles women have been boxed into by society and even by faith communities, and how we can break free to recognize and live out our diverse callings.A highlight of this episode is our discussion on "Soul Care" for the working woman, which goes beyond traditional spiritual activities like prayer and church attendance. Joanna shares how practices like the "breath prayer" can be seamlessly integrated into a busy workday for a more mindful and fulfilling life.This episode is not just a discussion but a call to action for every woman to understand and step into her unique calling with confidence. Whether you're struggling to find your purpose, seeking ways to juggle work and family, or looking for spiritual rejuvenation, this episode has something invaluable to offer.Resources listed in this episode: Women, Work, and Calling: Get the book here!Women, Work, and Calling Podcast: https://www.womenworkandcalling.com/podcastsWomen, Work, and Calling Website: https://www.womenworkandcalling.com/The Denver Institute: https://denverinstitute.org/Follow Joanna Meyer on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joannameyerco/Where do you Need a Confidence Boost in your Mompreneurship Journey?

Conversations around women and work are complicated, often heated, and rarely satisfying. The heart of the issue for women is: how can we thrive in our capacity for productive work as well as provide care for others (children, aging parents, and other loved ones). This conversation hit fever pitch during the pandemic and it seems we've been in a prolonged season of flux since then. The conversation in the church feels tense too. There's been a gap in discipleship regarding women and work for decades now, and trusted voices are few. Not only that, but women often endure conflict or judgment from both sides of the work vs. stay home divide. We need to be having a better conversation. On this episode of All Things we are having that conversation! Joanna Meyer, the founder of Women, Work, & Calling (an initiative of the Denver Institute of Faith & Work), helps us think biblically and practically about the issues of work and family that women face today.

For all the autonomy and civil liberties allowed us in the West, few places seem as powerless and irrelevant as a suburban home during times of global civil unrest.

As a young mother, I was often frustrated by what I saw to be my own inability to enact meaningful change while taking care of my two daughters.

Work is not primarily a thing one does to live but the thing one lives to do," wrote Dorothy Sayers. "It is, or it should be, the full expression of the worker's faculties, the thing in which he finds spiritual, mental and bodily satisfaction, and the medium in which he offers himself to God."Swift on the heels of the pandemic came the Great Resignation. Millions of people around the world voluntarily resigned from their jobs. Economists and sociologists believed that the pandemic gave people the opportunity to reevaluate their work life balance and why they are working. On this episode of Christian Curious, we speak with The Denver Institute for Faith and Work's Director of Public Engagement, Joanna Meyer, about God's calling and why we work. Joanna hosts the Faith & Work Podcast and oversees the Women and Vocation Initiative. Prior to coming to DIFW, Joanna worked with Global Telecom, nonprofit consulting, and campus ministry with Cru. She has an MA in Social Entrepreneurship and graduated magna cum laude from the University of Colorado Boulder. She also completed her a certification of Women and Leadership through Cornell University. She is a contributor to the multi-author book, Women in Work, Bearing God's Image and Joining in His Mission Through Our Work.

Hopefully you're enjoying a brief work week after having Labor Day off on Monday! On this week's episode we are taking a look at work from a Christian perspective. We're going all the way back to the beginning and unpacking the Creation Mandate and what it means to bear God's image in the spheres where he has placed us. My hope is that this episode will encourage you in your work, wherever that may. As followers of Christ you are an outpost of his kingdom whether your work is in the home, in an office, out in public, across the world, or across the street. Our God is creative and our callings are diverse—all work is a way to honor God, love him, and love others. Beyond an understanding of work, we take a quick look at a few fun and interesting statistics regarding women in the labor force and we close out with a reminder that we are limited humans and called to not only work, but to rest. Be encouraged—your work is good work! Your work is a means of bringing light to dark places. Your work matters.

Why We Shouldn’t Abdicate Our Success to Covid w/Jen Du Plessis

We’re in a covid cocoon right now and many people have made the mistake of putting their business fundamentals on pause. We have one of two choices, we can let this pandemic stop us from growing, or we can work on ourselves, nurture our relationships, strengthen our safety net, and come out of this stronger. If we get into concentration and focus now, we are guaranteed to always be in momentum under any market condition. What are some of the key areas loan officers have been overlooking because of the pandemic and the busy refi market? Why is it so important to nurture relationships with Realtor partners right now? In this episode, mortgage industry author, speaker, consultant, and entrepreneur Jen Du Plessis talks about how we can be more intentional about the fundamentals of our business. Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode How to take ownership for not nurturing your relationships: Many loan officers could have done a better job at keeping in touch with their Realtor business partners this year, and we should own that. When we do reach out, it’s okay to admit that. It’s more honest and authentic, and people will appreciate it. Why we have to have a database of people we like: The majority of your deals next year are in the loans you’ve done before, not just for repeat business, but for referrals. That’s why we need to stay in touch with our database of past clients. The problem is, we’re often held back from getting in touch with our database because of one or two people we don’t like. Remove those people from your database so that you want to get in touch with everyone else. How to interrupt bad habits: Creating better habits is the key to growing through the covid crisis. We have to recognize a bad habit and shift by replacing it with a good habit. If we gamify our ability to stick to good habits, we can make positive changes. Guest Bio: Jen is an author, speaker, consultant, and entrepreneur in the mortgage industry. She is also the principal and Kinetic Spark Consulting. Jennifer began her career in 1983. A veteran of the industry, she has served in multiple high-level management roles, holds a Commercial Lending Certificate, is a Certified Instructor for VAR, and sits on various boards both in and out of the lending industry. Jennifer attended Colorado State University as well as the Denver Institute of Technology with a concentration in Construction Design/Architecture. She has been featured in the Washington Post, the Washington Times, and on Good Morning America, and was recognized in Loan Origination Magazine’s Top 200 Loan Originators in the USA in 2012, putting her in the top 1% of all loan originators in the country.

The momentum of the current real estate market has created unprecedented production for mortgage professionals, but this short-term gain cannot be confused with long-term sustainability. The LOs that don’t have the safety net of a solid business underneath that momentum are not only at risk of a collapse, they are also experiencing significantly higher rates of burnout. People simply weren’t prepared for the rapid ramp-up of a low-interest market and while the volumes have been great, we can’t overlook the negative impacts. Even in an incredible market, we can’t ignore the challenges loan officers are facing. What are some of the specific things that are leading to the massive burnout we’re seeing in our industry? How can we mitigate the emotional and psychological effects of this market? In this episode, mortgage industry author, speaker, consultant, and entrepreneur Jen Du Plessis returns to Beyond Mortgage. She talks about common mistakes people are making in this high production market, and how she’s coaching people around them. Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode The challenges presented by a really good market: Loan officers experienced an explosion in production. If you haven’t formulated an actual business practice, you’ll end up reacting, and not actually concentrating on sustainable business practices. Not only is this leading to burnout, it also means this short-term success will eventually collapse and hurt you in the long run. How to build a more balanced life: We have a tendency to build the business to make it the strongest part of our lives, then allow for everything else to form around it. We need to invert that and make our health and relationships the center and the strong part, and build the business around those fundamentals. The connection between the virtual workplace and burnout: Human beings don’t just communicate with words, we also communicate non-verbally. When the world shifted into a virtual workspace, we were cut off from a huge portion of what makes us communicate more effectively. To counter this, we should never do a call without video, we should always position ourselves in the center of the screen, and be more animated when we talk.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created chaos for many families. Women are finding themselves in the middle of the upheaval, needing to make up for lost income or needing increased flexibility to care for children home from school. For those in frontline positions as part of their paid work, health risks may be an additional stressor as women determine what they need from their work life under unprecedented circumstances. It's for this reason we invited Joanna Meyer to help us kick off our newest series, Work Flip, where we'll be exploring what it means to pivot in work due to the pandemic. Joanna leads the Women and Vocation Initiative for the Denver Institute for Faith and Work. She also serves as the Director of Events and Sponsorships, creating meaningful opportunities for Christians to consider what it means to serve God in and through their work. In this conversation we cover the God-given purpose of work, how women are uniquely called to vocation and leadership, and how the pandemic is offering unique opportunities for women to advocate for themselves at work. Whether you work for pay or not (and we cover unpaid work in this episode), you'll be reminded that God gave us work as part of our design. When we feel different roles pulling at us, we can step back and use some creativity to meet the world's needs with our talents while (hopefully) gaining income. An episode for any woman in the world who knows she was made to be a world changer for good right where she is ... through her work.

We are called to participate with God in the healing of the world through our very work–as teachers, as mechanics, as doctors, as attorneys, as salespeople. Our work brings the goodness of God into the world.But what about when we retire? How can we participate with God in the healing of the world then? Is it possible to live a full life in retirement in which we understand our post-work life as more than just a big vacation?Jeff Haanen addresses these questions in his book, An Uncommon Guide to Retirement. Jeff challenges us to rethink our understanding of retirement, recognizing that it’s not just an extended vacation, but a time of fruitful work and ministry as we live into our calling as retired people.THIS EPISODE’S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Jeff Haanen is the Executive Director of the Denver Institute for Faith and Work and the author of An Uncommon Guide to Retirement.Jeff came to faith as he read Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. In recent years, the most formative book Jeff has read is Our Kids: The American Dream in Crisis by Robert Putnam.People need a why for their work to have meaning. Jeff wants to give people a why in their work. The why comes down to loving God and loving neighbor through one’s work.“Vocation” comes from the Latin word for “voice,” which has to do with responding to God’s voice.Jeff says we need to pause and question the culture around retirement, a culture that says if you save so much money you’ll be living “the life” when you retire. But life doesn’t always work that way.Rather than moving into a big vacation at retirement, people ought to move into a time of sabbatical rest.It’s important in retirement to not live merely for ourselves, but for God who calls us and for the well-being of our neighbors.Pastors can help those retired by encouraging seasons of rest, renewal, and reengagement.You can find out more about the book at www.uncommonretirement.com.To learn more about the Denver Institute for Faith, go to www.denverinstitute.org, For short online courses on faith, work, vocation, and so forth, go to www.scatter.org.

Join William and Henry in the Mile-High city as they talk to Jeff Haanen from the Denver Institute for Faith and Work. His article, God of the Second Shift, made waves in the faith and work world, and we’re excited to have him on our podcast today to talk more about how we can move this conversation around theology and business from the corner office to the manufacturing floor. Tune in to hear what Jeff has to share about what a theology of work means for those in the working class. As you’ll hear, Jeff asks and answers the same questions he posed in his article for Christianity Today. Have we been blind to the “daily humiliations” of those whose work we depend on each day? Have we been interpreting Scripture through our own professional class bias and failed to ask how working-class Americans think and feel about their work? The honest answers to these questions may provide the exact conviction we need. Listen to hear what a whole new side of the conversation around faith and work might sound like.

Many middle-aged people I talk to feel stuck, whether it’s in their relationships, finances or health. What is causing this struggle? What are some of the steps we can take to overcome it? On this episode, mortgage industry veteran, author, trainer, and coach, Jen Du Plessis, shares how to avoid plateauing in business and life. Three Things We Learned From This Episode Why you need long-term goalsWithout a long-term goal you are more likely to get sucked into market trends, get caught up in spending money now instead of saving for the future. If we come up with a long-term goal, everything makes it so much easier. It creates clarity on the mission. What’s causing many people to feel stuck A lot of people are stuck because for the longest time, business came easy. Now things are more challenging and people who have been doing it for a long time are exhausted. To overcome it, we have to keep working hard and improving ourselves. Customer service vs. customer experienceMany people are too focused on customer service, but not on the customer experience. Customer service is the job, it’s what you do. Customer service goes above and beyond that, it’s about how you make them feel and what they say to about you to everyone else. The reason so many people are struggling to keep going in a changing industry is that they don’t want to bear down and really improve themselves. If you don’t do this, you won’t stick around and make it another 5,10 or 15 years. The market we’re in requires three things: hard work, building relationships and constantly striving to improve and get better. Guest Bio: Jen is an author, speaker, consultant and entrepreneur in the mortgage industry. She is also the principal and Kinetic Spark Consulting. Jennifer began her career in 1983. A veteran of the industry, she has served in multiple high-level management roles, holds a Commercial Lending Certificate, is a Certified Instructor for VAR, and sits on various boards both in and out of the lending industry. Jennifer attended Colorado State University as well as the Denver Institute of Technology with a concentration in Construction Design/Architecture. She has been featured in the Washington Post, the Washington Times, and on Good Morning America, and was recognized in Loan Origination Magazine’s Top 200 Loan Originators in the USA in 2012, putting her in the top 1% of all loan originators in the country. She has transitioned from traditional mortgage lending and is continuing to pursue her speaking and coaching passion. She is also the CEO of her Real Estate Investment firm, Valor Homes Solutions, LLC specializing in helping potential home sellers solve financial problems as well has providing owner financing for challenged buyers who would not normally qualify for traditional financing.
