Christianity and Business
Practical Impact and Compassion?
The Southside Church of the Nazarene is on a mission. They believe their church should be defined by how they practically care for the community around them. They ask a very simple question: “Is this church community such a force of good, are we so compassionate, that if our church were to suddenly disappear, the…
Read MoreUsing the Medium of Distraction as an Avenue for the Gospel
In our last couple of classes, we’ve spent some time discussing our generation (Generation Z). Since we are the oldest of this new generation, it can be difficult to understand what exactly makes us different. What are our likes and dislikes? Why don’t we feel the need to go to church? How can Christians best…
Read MoreYou are NOT enough.
Recently I stumbled upon a video that caught my attention. It was a short clip on Instagram from a podcast titled, “Myths Christian Women Believe.” The first sentence in the video was, “Myth number one is that ‘you are enough’. Um…no you’re not.” Yeah, you read that right. I was taken aback, and honestly felt…
Read MoreGenuineness is the Way to Reach the Next Generation
In class, we talked about how the media views modern Christians. We are seen as radical, hateful, irrelevant, anti-women, closed-minded, and hypocritical. That reputation is far from the standard that Jesus set for us, to be known by our love. This reputation has become a stumbling block in our mission to reach people when presenting…
Read MoreBalance of Work, Relationships, and Rest
In the opening chapter of Genesis, we are provided with a purpose of how to spend our time, and an example of how to balance our time. Genesis 1:26-28 states the purpose of the creation of man in the cultural mandate. The cultural mandate as stated in Genesis 1:28 (NIV) is for man (who is…
Read MoreThe King as an Innovator
God as an innovator. This is a sentence that I have not given much thought to until this class. I have always thought of God first as a Father, heart satisfier, lover, grace giver, wisdom originator, and overall Creator; which He is! However, never have I thought of Him as an innovator – but it’s…
Read MoreRedemptive Entrepreneurship | Every Tongue, Tribe, and Nation
As I contemplated what the words Church and Entrepreneurship meant, and how they related to each other, I struggled to see any correlation between the two. It always seemed to be more of an idea rather than something that could plausibly take place. I mean, the Church being intertwined into the workplace, or it being…
Read MoreForever 21
When I started brainstorming about topics for my first blog post, I immediately thought of my favorite clothing store. You have probably heard of this massive company founded in 1984 because it has taken the fashion world by storm. It was rated the third most popular female clothing brand by Business Insider and has been…
Read MoreGod’s Desire for Newness Extends to the Business Sector
God loves newness. He delighted in it when he first created the world (Genesis 1 – 2) and he continues to delight in it as he makes “all things new” in our present age (Revelation 21:5). One of the beautiful ways God makes His glory known on Earth is that He deposits attributes of himself…
