This fall Denver Institute published Vice & Virtue, a book that draws on historic traditions of the Christian faith to offer a framework for understanding the challenges and opportunities we encounter in the modern workplace. Our podcast conversations over the coming weeks will be framed around virtues we can cultivate in our various places of work. We will focus on the virtues of love, courage, humility, temperance, and justice learning from top leaders like Andy Crouch, Sabrina Little, and Katelyn Beaty. To kick off this series Joanna Meyer interviews Ryan Tafilowski and Dustin Moody the two men who are responsible for spearheading this project.

The structures and rhythms of work have changed drastically in the past five years.

Rachel is also a published author, a homeschooling mom, and a worship leader. She lives in River Falls, WI with her three kids and her husband Chris, who is also an entrepreneur.

What does it look like to live out your faith authentically in your workplace? For some people, this may not seem like a difficult thing to do but for others being a Christian can stir up unwanted hostility or misunderstandings.

She is the bestselling author of the book What Great Brands Do: The Seven Brand-Building Principles that Separate the Best from the Rest and her most recent work, FUSION: How Integrating Brand and Culture Powers the World’s Greatest Companies.

What does it mean that we are called to be "ambassadors for Christ"? How does this element of our faith play out in the daily happenings of our work? In this episode, Joanna Meyer and Abby Worland interview former U.S. Ambassador to Brazil, Todd Chapman. Mr. Chapman spent 30 years as a career diplomat in the U.S. Foreign Service. While serving as the ambassador to Brazil, he advanced a broad economic, security, and environmental agenda at the sixth-largest U.S. embassy in the world. He was the first U.S. ambassador to be decorated with the Order of the Southern Cross, Brazil’s highest civilian honor for non-citizens.

Since the legalization of recreational marijuana in Colorado in 2012, it has become a common part of life in the Denver metro area. As Christians in this cultural context some questions that arise include 'It may be legal, but is it acceptable to use pot recreationally?' or 'What about work in the marijuana industry?' In this episode, Joanna Meyer and Brian Gray interview Dave Morlan, co-founder and teaching pastor at Fellowship Denver Church, about work and faith in the gray areas.

When Christians think about scriptures that discuss business, Proverbs 31 may not be the first passage that comes to mind.
