Tom Petersen  After a brief and ill-fated start as a daily newspaper reporter, Tom C. Petersen spent decades in the corporate world as a utility communications professional. He started out writing news releases and employee newsletters before transitioning to writing strategic business objec- tives and annual performance reviews. He ultimately was primarily responsible for attending meetings and deleting emails. He left the corporate world in 2023 to focus on writing about the intersection of faith and work, and mostly how poorly he had navigated it over the years. He is intrigued by the challenge of living out our faith with integrity in a workplace that usually doesn't play by those rules. He finds the conflict between the two downright funny. He hopes his struggles serve to encourage others who try to navigate the same path. He's been gratified to have his musings reprinted in outlets like CBN.com, The High Calling site of the Theology of Work Project, and, most recently, WorkLight. He is the author of a new book of humorous essays of how badly he struggles in this area: Thank God It's Monday(?): Balancing Work and Faith While Keeping Your Sense of Humor. Tom is a husband, father, and native Midwesterner with two master's degrees (one of which is still accredited).

Rhythms of Faith and Work by Inspire Churches

What's described in Isaiah 60 never happened in human history and never can happen in normal human history—and it has much to teach us about how we view our work. Isaiah 60 looks to the end of time when God makes everything right and paradise is restored. And in that restoration, something happens that we often overlook: all the nations of the world bring their work products—their gold, silver, flux, and grain—as offerings to God. Just as there was work in the original paradise, there'll be work in the future paradise. And so, what does that mean about our work?  This text points to three things about work: 1) the goodness and dignity of work, 2) what's wrong with work, and 3) how work can be healed. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 10, 2016. Series: Proverbs: Where We Are Going: The City and the Mission. Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-11, 18-21. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.
