Cultural Clashes with Our Faith & Work: Time & Efficiency
Thursday, July 18
7:00 – 8:00am (Doors Open at 6:45)
@ Tall Rabbit Cafe + Community,
2001 Calhoun Street
Americans place a high value on our time. We look at our calendars, schedules, watches, and mobile phones frequently. Our work performance and achievement of goals often directly reflect our use of time. It is important to get things done on time. We hear this often and everywhere.
In contrast, we tend to get frustrated when we believe we (or others) are wasting our time. Furthermore, we want to get things done quickly. After all, “time is money.” If we are fast, we are efficient. We save time.
Unfortunately, an emphasis on time may come at the expense of our relationships with others – and with God.
Join us for an enriching discussion on how to reframe our approach to time and to honor God and serve others in the process.
Cultural Clashes with Our Faith & Work: Convenience
Thursday, August 15
7:00 – 8:00am (Doors Open at 6:45)
@ Tall Rabbit Cafe + Community,
2001 Calhoun Street
Convenience is something that increases our comfort and flexibility, both at work and elsewhere. We send a text instead of an email, call, or visit. We work from home or nearby coffee shops. We keep an abundance of backups – from electronics to supplies – just in case they are needed, and many never are.
We frequently stop at “convenience stores”, “fast food outlets”, and 24-hour stores because of their convenience, probably not their quality. We shop online and get goods delivered to our doorsteps. We opt for things at our fingertips that may be more expensive, because they are convenient. Convenient often means okay. Average. It gets the job done. But not the best.
Join us for a conversation about understanding the limits of a convenience mindset and discovering a better way forward for pursuing our God-given calling and work opportunities.
