Reimagining Work Vol. 12: Public Policy in Greater LA Round-Up
Labor Day Rest
Labor Day is seen by most Angelinos as the last gasp of summer; a three-day weekend serving as summer’s conclusion—the bookend to Memorial Day’s launch of summer. It is well known that Memorial Day honors those who died in the armed forces defending our country, but less is known about the significance of Labor Day. Is it a secular holiday—a materialist nod to the role workers play in building the economic prosperity of the United States? Or should we include Labor Day among holidays Christians take note of?

The Myth of Work-Life Balance
I’m just coming out of a very intensive season of work with many overlapping activities and needs. We recently experienced several mountaintop-like signs of God’s goodness and fruitfulness through our work this past year with great encouragement. Included in all this, however, is a sense of exhaustion and burnout. I need to slow way down, reflect, get some deep rest, experience beauty and joy, be with family and friends, and listen well to what God is calling me to in the coming season.

2024 Annual Faith + WorK Conference Round-Up
Working with the Risen Christ
Easter is upon us. For many Americans, Easter means little more than bunnies, candy eggs, and Sunday brunch with the family. For those of faith, Easter is a day to dress up for church and celebrate Jesus rising from the dead. In short—for believers and unbelievers alike—Easter is associated with Sunday. But what does Easter tell us about our Monday? In other words, does Easter inform our work life?
Read on to hear more as Robert Covolo explores the picture the Gospel of John is offering us of what it means to live as followers of the risen Christ at our work.
The Impact of Good Work
During our Year-end Giving Campaign, we have been sharing a few stories from CFWLA participants on how they have seen their vision of work, relationship with God, and overall outlook on their lives change as a result of their experience with CFWLA's programming. Read on to hear these powerful testimonies from a few of our program attendees.
Christmas Cleanup
Modern Americans might love “Dirty Jobs,” but the show would have found little traction in the Ancient World. We would find the same “consumer trend” when it came to religion in the ancient world. The gods of the Ancient Near East were noted for their lives of luxury. In stark contrast to these gods is the God of the Bible. Read on to hear more as Robert Covolo explores God’s dirty jobs and the ultimate expression in the birth our Savior.
A Prayer for Biblical Equity at Work
Earlier this month at Reimagining Work Vol. 11: Biblical Equity at Work, Myesha Reynolds, Founder of Equity Lens Consultants guided attendees through a conversation on understanding equity from a Biblical perspective—specifically in the workplace—and how can we confront misconceptions about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Read on as Myesha shares with us a prayer of encouragement and blessing when navigating this topic in our lives.
