The Problem
The Problem - Addressing the Faith and Work Disconnect
Almost 70 percent of the non-sleeping time of a person who works is
spent in the workplace. Yet most Christian training does not focus
enough on how to integrate or practice faith at work. The workplace is
where the majority of the people spend the majority of the time with
the majority of people who don’t know Christ. Christians are not being
adequately equipped to effectively integrate their faith in their
workplace.
Additionally, the need for Christ-centered leadership in the workplace
has never been greater. There are not enough Christians who fully
understand what it means to take God’s presence into their workplaces.
To help Christians integrate their faith and their work, FWL is
committed to helping people connect their faith life and their work
life. We accomplish this goal through events, lectures, seminars,
conferences, workshops, products, and curriculum. FWL helps believers
better understand their calling from God to make a difference in their
workplaces and lead a fully integrated life.
Many Christians have not thought deeply about how to work “as unto the
Lord”, (Colossians 3:23) putting beliefs into action in the workplace.
Because so many don’t know how to integrate faith and work, they have
compartmentalized their lives into the sacred, their life at church,
versus the secular, and their life at work. This faith and work
disconnect is a problem because God does not want Christians to
compartmentalize their faith and their work. Therefore, a rethinking of
work life is necessary to help believers fully understand work from
God’s perspective and more effectively integrate their faith life and
their work life. God desires Christians to serve Him wherever they
work, integrating faith into all three areas of life: church life,
family life, and work life.
God wants Christians to live a life (including our work-life) that puts
Him at the center, that subordinates our will to His and that makes
spiritual growth a priority. God did not create us to live a dualistic
life, one that relegates our spiritual life to the church on Sunday
while living independent of Him the other six days of the week. Rather,
God wants our faith and our life to be seamless.
