We all feel a call to “do what you love.” Parents, teachers, pastors and culture all reinforce the message. Most importantly, the call comes from the Spirit within. To work and play freely, without shame or exploitation, is to feel integrated and alive internally – and within community and society. Tragically, our dominant, oppressive economic system deprives almost everyone of realizing this freedom to thrive. Too many are simply trying to survive under harrowing circumstances. That is ungodly. Is it possible to pivot from anti-Christ economy to loving our laborers? We can and must fight for living wages, guaranteed housing, and dignity imbued into every endeavor, in Jesus’ name.

Join the conversation with Nurture the Soul and learn how you and your church can concretely manifest sustained justice now and growing forward.
