Lunch + Learn: Work as Prayer

How can we break down the sacred/secular divide and move towards a more integrated approach to faith and work? How can prayer become not only an action that we occasionally pause our work to do, but something that flows in and through all of our work? What does it mean for you to offer your work as a form of prayer to God?

Join us on Wednesday, May 21 with Dan Marotta as we cover these questions and more. We hope to see you there!

This Lunch + Learn is sponsored by Smartbank.

D.J. Marotta is the founding priest of Redeemer Anglican Church in Richmond, Virginia. He is the author of Liturgy in the Wilderness: How the Lord's Prayer Shapes the Imagination of the Church in a Secular Age, Our Church Speaks: An Illustrated Devotional of Saints From Every Era & Place, and co-host of the Our Church Speaks Podcast. His wife is gracious and his children are clever.

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?
