Faith & Co: Business on Purpose is the official study guide to accompany the compelling documentary film series. Designed especially for groups, the guide incorporates the films into an easy to use 10-week format.
The guide thematically frames and sequences the films, offers theological insights, and provides provocative discussion questions and reflection exercises. The guide also incorporates dozens of additional interview excerpts with cast members as well as with other business leaders and theologians at the forefront of the faith at work movement.
Featuring stories from around the globe, the film series profiles business leaders who are reimagining business as a calling to serve God and neighbor and explores implications for spiritual formation, ethics, managing, selling, design, serving neighbors and care for creation.
Praise for Faith & Co: Business on Purpose:
“The Faith & Co documentaries and film clips are the best I've seen on Faith and Work. The Study Guide is well thought out and structured. I can't recommend it more highly, for individuals, Bible studies, workplace groups. But beware, you are likely to be challenged and changed by it.”
Dr. Gordon Preece, Priest-in-Charge, Yarraville Anglican Parish and Director of Ethos, and Religion & Social Policy at the University of Divinity, Melbourne.
“Faith & Co. is about depth. Deeper thinking of what it means to see that business itself is ministry. The inspiring, well-crafted films let us inside the hearts and minds of Kingdom business practitioners who have thought long and hard about what it means to live love, give opportunity, guard human dignity, and steward well the creation God has gifted us. Unfortunately, much of the conversation about connecting faith and work in the business sector just scratches the surface. Faith & Co. is theologically richer, digging into the implications of creation, fall, redemption, and new creation for everyday business. This isn’t “5 Tips for Successful Business.” This is wisdom for the long haul.”
Amy L. Sherman, Ph.D., author, Kingdom Calling: Vocational Stewardship for the Common Good
“Faith & Co: Business on Purpose succeeds in the hardest task of faith-work integration—helping you figure out how your work matters to God, not just how work in general matters. Oriented primarily towards entrepreneurs, managers and professionals, Faith & Co., uniquely integrates biblical faithfulness with practical application. Incomparable for today’s generation of Christians who work.”
Will Messenger, Executive Editor, Theology of Work Project
"This is one of those rare resources that can help ordinary people live into God’s redemptive purpose for them. In the typical upside-down way characteristic of the gospel, this course reframes business as a marvelous tool for making the world a better place. Powerful video vignettes of ordinary people doing extraordinary things illustrate how business people need no longer suffer a kind of second grade piety, on the sidelines of God’s work in the world. Faith & Co will give people hope and courage to embrace God’s call upon their lives.”
Dr. Geoffrey Hsu, Executive Director, Flourish San Diego
