The Formative Power of Work, Part Three: Work That Rewrites Reality
In Colossians 3:22, Paul offers more than workplace advice—he redefines reality itself. The way we work, especially when no one is watching, reveals what we believe truly matters. When our efforts are driven by approval, our world shrinks to what others can see. But when we work with an awareness of God, even the most ordinary tasks take on eternal significance.
The Formative Power of Work, Part Two: A Message for Employees and Employers
Work is never neutral—it is always shaping who we become. Drawing from Colossians 3:22–4:1, this post explores how the Apostle Paul calls both employees and employers to approach their work with a Christ-centered vision, seeing it not merely as a task to complete, but as a formative space where character, integrity, and faith are cultivated.

Reimagining Work Vol. 14: The People Side of Work
What an incredible morning at Reimagining Work Vol.14: The People Side of Work
On Saturday, February 7, we gathered for our Reimagining Work event, The People Side of Work. It was a meaningful and intimate morning filled with wisdom, encouragement, and practical insight on cultivating workplace cultures that honor Christ and care well for the people we lead, manage, and collaborate with.
George Herbert's "The Elixir"
This blog post explores George Herbert’s poem The Elixir as a profound theology of faith and work, revealing how ordinary labor becomes holy when done in love and obedience to God. Drawing on Herbert’s metaphor of alchemy, it argues that intention—not status, visibility, or outcome—is what transforms work from drudgery into worship. In a culture driven by achievement and recognition, the post invites readers to recover a vision of vocation where every task, however small, is infused with divine significance when done “for Him.”
Van Gogh and the Reimagination of Everyday Work
Here, Robert Covolo shares how Van Gogh’s paintings of workers reveal a profound spiritual insight: the holiness of ordinary labor. Unlike traditional religious art that separated the sacred from the secular, Van Gogh portrayed everyday tasks—harvesting, binding sheaves—as acts filled with dignity and sacred value. This vision echoes Martin Luther’s Reformation teaching that all vocations, even the humblest, can glorify God when done with faithfulness.
Reimagining Work Vol. 13: Healthcare in LA Round-Up
What an incredible morning at Reimagining Work Vol.13: Healthcare in LA!
It was a joy to see so many Christian healthcare professionals gather for a rich time of learning, fellowship, and encouragement. Our keynote speaker, Dr. Dan Rogstad, opened the evening with a moving testimony, reflecting on the successes, setbacks, and faithful response that shaped his journey into medicine.
Dr. Rogstad was joined by Dr. Tania Abouezzeddine, Dr. Andre Cipta, Dr. Alyssa Dominguez, and Dr. Warren Yamashita for an engaging panel discussion moderated by Dr. Janet Ma. The conversation continued as attendees joined breakout sessions exploring meaningful intersections of faith and healthcare.
Learning From Paul’s Tactics
Here, Robert Covolo discusses how the Apostle Paul’s strategic focus on cities, public spaces, and vocational influence serves as a model for CFWLA’s mission in Los Angeles. He reflects on Paul’s life and ministry to highlight the power of work as a central place for discipleship and gospel renewal, and why Los Angeles is an essential city for the next chapter of this kingdom work.
Summer Giving Campaign: The Next Chapter
This year has already marked a season of incredible momentum at the Center for Faith + Work Los Angeles—we’ve launched two 7-Week Faith + Work Courses, hosted our 9th Annual Conference, commissioned a new cohort of Framework Fellows, and welcomed Dr. Robert Covolo as our new Executive Director.
