Bankruptcy, job loss, project rejection; there is great frustration when we feel we have fallen short in our job. Do we believe God will use these flops in His plan to renew all things? A panel of Nashvillians, Todd Foster, Amy Norton, and Troy Woolley, will share their personal experiences with disappointment and failures in their work and the lessons God revealed to them.
About the Lunches
We use a practical theological framework to identify the inherent goodness of work, its outcomes, and the deeper questions it asks of us. The gatherings provide glimpses into common struggles and philosophical differences, and seek to foster the hope that emerges when we come to expect more from God within our work. Let’s work on faithfully working at work.
