About the series
James 3 tells us "wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere." James also tells us "if any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” But how do we actually receive and live this out in our workplace? How does the wisdom of God affect our practical daily decisions?
In our 2024-25 Lunch + Learn series we will be looking at what it means to lean into wisdom in our vocational lives. We will look at:
- What does it look like to seek wisdom in job/career transitions?
- How do we lean into wisdom in daily decisions in the workplace?
- How does wisdom change how we posture ourselves in the world?
- What are practices we can build into our work rhythms that help to lead with wisdom?
