Theology in MotionBook: Work and Worship (Kaemingk)In this conversation with Rev. Dr. Matthew Kaemingk we explore the book Work and Worship - Reconnecting Our Labor and Liturgy. We discuss: 1. What it looks like for workers to bring their whole selves to worship (trumpets, ashes, tears, petitions, and fruits), 2. How worship enlivens and contextualizes the workplace, 3.

Re-integrateReintegrate Your Faith and Work through Worship - with Matthew KaemingkHow do we actually reintegrate our faith with our work?

On Worship: Surprised By LightWork and Worship with Matthew Kaemingk and guest co-host Bob BixbyEvery Sunday workers from many different places and vocations gather together to worship, and yet are the leaders of our churches really recognizing that through them the work of the commission of Christ taking place right in front of them? In the book Work and Worship, Matthew Kaemingk and Cory Wilson make a compelling case that church leaders, pastors and worship leaders, often create a unhelpful disconnect between what church members do each day and what they do when they gather to worship.

What does our worship have to do with our work? And what might our work have to do with...2021-01-2746 min
