The Green Room recently sat down with David Kim, editor of the Faith and Work Bible recently released from Zondervan, and Will Messenger, executive editor of the Theology of Work Project, to talk about the Bible and work and the similarities and differences between their projects. TGR: What makes a faith and work Bible, or Bible commentary, different than any…
Reprinted from The Anxious Bench with permission. We though this post was interesting in light of earlier reflections we’ve posted here regarding how the faith and work movement needs to think about gender (here and here for starters.) By Kristin Du Mez By now, I’m sure you’ve all seen this video. If you haven’t, here you go. You’re welcome. I could write…
The Green Room recently had a chance to sit down with Tom Nelson, president of Made to Flourish, pastor of Christ Community Church in Kansas City, and author of Work Matters. Here’s what he had to say about his new book releasing this fall, and about what’s going on with MTF. TGR: How is this book different from Work…

We spoke with Tracy Mathews to get the inside story about her own faith journey and how this new program came to be. Tracy, how did you come to be involved with the faith and work movement? My faith has come alive…
