The Secret to Better Work and Life Is Not Rocket Science
|
What if someone told you they knew the secret to a better life? What if they shared this secret with you? They promised you would be able to concentrate better, enjoy life more, increase productivity at work, decrease stress at work and at home, and have a better sense of self-esteem. It sounds too good to be true. But researchers at Lancaster University... Read More + |

Dallas Willard, a Man of Deep Love and Christ-like Character
|
Dallas Willard died today, May 8, 2013, at age 77. His ideas and books about spiritual formation have made a lasting impression on many Christians, including many of the writers here at The High Calling. Today as a testament to him, we share a few excerpts from articles that would not have been complete without the life's work of Dallas Willard. Earlier... Read More + |

Location, Location, Location: From the Cubicle to the Coffee Shop
|
Where, exactly, do you work? I work from home. I occasionally have meetings at clients’ offices. But I often pack up my laptop and head for a local coffee shop to work. One Chicago Tribune article referred to people like me, who take over a table with a laptop and slowly nurse one Venti latte for three hours, as “laptop sqatters.” Nice, right? You may...

Books on Faith: Follow Me, Part Four: The Gospel in Our Daily Work
|
Recently, I was catching up with an old friend. We had attended the same church through high school. We had gone on double dates together. We had traveled on exotic mission trips together. We had reenacted elaborate biblical musicals together. "I have a confession to make," he said at one point. "I'm an atheist now." I was a little surprised, so I said... Read More + |

Living Sacrifices
|
Romans 12:1-8 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship.

Theology of Work Project Offers Deep Resources for Christians
|
“How can the Bible help people succeed in their work in terms of excellence, ethics, and calling, according to God’s purpose and design?” asks Dr. Haddon Robinson, president of the Theology of Work Project. That question is close to our hearts here at The High Calling. So it should be no surprise that we at The High Calling have encouraged, supported,... Read More + |

Expect the Unexpected: Discovering the Wonder of God in Your Workplace
|
A few months ago, I lost my driver’s license. The replacement required me to go to the Department of Motor Vehicles. DMVs can be some of the most lifeless place,s marked by long lines of people (like myself) who feel wildly inconvenienced by having to take a number and wait for hours to receive a government-issued ID. My trip to the DMV was no... Read More + |

Best of 2012 Culture
|
Culture is the result of everything we create, manage, and consume. Here at The High Calling, we talk a lot about work in the traditional sense, which includes discussions on cubicle-world ethics and honesty in the workplace. But God cares about all seven days, and everything we fill them with. So while work may be what you do to get a paycheck, items... Read More + |
