Workism and Redemption Workism can be briefly defined as “yielding your source & sense of identity to your work”. It is a practice, almost a religion even in the Western world, that is defined by a constant need or desire to work, a collapse of self without...
Workism in Ecclesiastes In reading the book of Ecclesiastes these past few days, one of my favorite books in Scripture, I discovered some new insights from the Preacher, King Solomon, on work and the labor of man. While these insights may come across pessimistic in...
Workism and the Righteous Paul was described as a tentmaker in Acts 18:3; someone who labored hard with his hands and worked leather into creating tents. Realistically, he could have made a heck of a living off that. Not that I know the state of the economy then but...
Recently, I bought a decorative small canvas that artistically displays, "Embrace the imperfections, the chaos, the holy mess of your beautiful life.” I was drawn to it because of the adjectival phrase “holy mess.” Having gone through several months of what could...
Workism and the Hustle Workism is a concept that has been touched on several times at The Stone Table. It is something that continues to pervade our society and work environments daily, and something that appears likely to continue to creep up in increasing measures...
Workism and Working the Garden “And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.” (Colossians 1:17, ESV). Workism is a dangerous thing. It’s dangerous because it takes Jesus out of the position of “holding all things together” and it inserts you,...
B4T: What the Heart Looks Like When I think of B4T, my first question is, honestly, “What is that?” Literally, I had zero idea what it was. What is B4T? B4T is shorthand for “Business for Transformation”; it is a mission that determines to share the gospel through...

Principles of Biblical Entrepreneurship: Principles from Personal Experience I had the honor and the privilege to work at a Christian faith-based business before I came up to Minneapolis for school. I was grateful to work under a leadership team that was emphatic...
Following last week’s article on Principles of Biblical Entrepreneurship from Matthew 6:33, I want to take us about a direction that I have come to see from my personal experience working under some fellow Christian entrepreneurs. I spoke with a husband & wife...
In this week’s video, Erik reflects on the idea of making changes in life and the introspection that comes with the start of a new year. He shares his personal struggle with road rage and the desire to manage his frustrations while driving. He discusses the importance of discipline and self-control but emphasizes that true transformation can only come through the power of the gospel. He also encourages us to depend on Christ and his finished work for lasting change in our lives.
Erik shares his deep love for Christmas and the direction it represents. He highlights the significance of Christmas as a reminder that God came for humanity, bridging the divide caused by sin. Unlike other world religions and self-improvement programs, Christianity offers the miracle of God becoming flesh and moving into the neighborhood. This video is a reminder to not forget the billions of people who have yet to hear this message. Will you join in proclaiming the Savior’s arrival?
