Work can be very stressful because we approach it as a Godless endeavour. Yet God didn't just create work He is a worker. Work is not cursed it's a blessing and it was given to us as a platform for expressing our God given gifts and talents and the fulfilment of His creation mandate. To contrast ordinary work as secular or temporal and evangelistic work as sacred or eternal is an unbiblical dualism that runs against both the creation and the discipleship mandates. If you have had the experience of stepping onto a train in London you may be accustomed to the ritualistic incantation of the words ‘Mind the Gap’ warning you not to fall between the platform and train. This is an apt analogy for the gap between Sunday and Monday or the Church and the marketplace. TGIM is here to bridge that gap and help you connect your Sunday faith to your Monday work week.

How do you see your glass?

Meaning in work
<p>As Christians, we don’t always approach our work in a very integrated way and to my mind; I think it’s because we do not have the know-how. Our discipleship system does not offer much practical help.</p><p>Some people will tell you that some jobs are more meaningful than others, so start by finding a meaningful job. There is some truth to this. Research suggests that when jobs provide the following benefits or opportunities, people find it easier to experience meaning:</p><p>• Autonomy, the freedom to try out your own ideas.</p><p>• A chance to use your skills.</p><p>• A sense of how your work contributes to a tangible product or service you can identify.</p><p>• Co-workers who enjoy and value their work, and with whom you get along.</p><p>• A leader who sets a clear vision that you value, who lives out that vision, who expresses genuine concern about you, who encourages you to take risks and solve problems creatively, who gives you confidence, and who expands your goals.</p><p>• An organizational mission that fits with what you value.</p><p>If you have a job that provides all or most of these things, count yourself privileged. If you have a chance to move into a position that gets you closer to this, you should seriously consider taking it. But for many people, simply finding a better job is not a realistic option. Lots of people spend their careers job-hopping in search of the perfect position that likely doesn’t exist.</p><p>What things should we do to find or make our work more meaningful? Take a listen.</p>

The purpose of business
<p>What does a business owe to its community, its country, and the world at large? What does it mean for a business to not just do good but be good? What would such aspiration require? Millennials and Generation Z employees see themselves as part of a purpose economy. This generation of workers expects the work they do to reflect something significant about who they are, and, further, they expect the companies they work for to be about more than making money. So the real question is, what is the purpose of business and where can we find it? Take a listen.</p>
