Work before fun? Work that IS fun? We improve creation when we make it more enjoyable. How do we do that? Clearance. Context. Contribution. Connection. https://www.gnu.edu/ https://www.kibbeconsulting.com/

Can virtue become vicious? Yes.  https://www.gnu.edu/ https://www.kibbeconsulting.com/

It's hard to improve creation when it's on fire.  #Spokane

God made us to make things. Sometimes we make the wrong things. Or too many of the right things. Or things that don't do what they're supposed to do.  Questions worth asking:  1) Is my product inherently destructive? 2) Is my product intentionally destructive? 3) Does my product do what it was designed to do? 4) Does my product do what the recipient of it expects it to do? 5) Do we have...

Order has a dark side. Let's bring it into the light. https://www.kibbeconsulting.com/ https://www.gnu.edu/

God created us to improve creation. One of the ways we do that is to bring order out of chaos. Spatial order, chronological order, relational order, procedural order, social order.  https://www.kibbeconsulting.com/ https://www.gnu.edu/

The problem with work is that we think the problem is work. https://www.kibbeconsulting.com/ https://www.gnu.edu/

Dorothy Sayers wrote the most influential essay on the theology of work in the last century. It's awesome. But it's not perfect. This episode is about the parts I think could use some improvement. https://www.kibbeconsulting.com/ https://www.gnu.edu/

Dorothy Sayers wrote a bunch of amazing novels. She also wrote the most influential word on the theology of work in the last one hundred years.  https://www.kibbeconsulting.com/ https://www.gnu.edu/

How do we use the tool called money? Prioritize proximity. Prioritize Necessity. Prioritize Probability. https://www.kibbeconsulting.com/ https://www.gnu.edu/

Fruit, Seed, and Weeds. What kind of work is your money doing? https://www.kibbeconsulting.com/ https://www.gnu.edu/

There's no such thing as the right (or wrong) amount of money. https://www.kibbeconsulting.com/ https://www.gnu.edu/

Where does money fit into our theology of work? Is it a good gift from our Creator, or is it a lordless power and the root of all kinds of evil? Yes.  https://www.kibbeconsulting.com/ https://www.gnu.edu/
