Today’s guest feature from Karen Cooper focuses on the legacy left by her father. His Depression-era faithfulness to the Lord showed clearly through his everyday work, a forced career-path many today would find disappointing and difficult to embrace. Join us as we turn back the pages with Karen to see what faith and work lessons we can learn from the Greatest Generation.
We have a passion for unreached people groups here at The Stone Table. Three billion people around the world have no adequate witness of the Gospel, and a major portion of our mission investment is aimed at proclaiming Jesus and planting the Church in these unreached...
It’s been a tough week. The world lost two famous faces to suicide – fashion designer Kate Spade and culture and travel television host Anthony Bourdin. Coincidentally, the CDC just released new statistics showing suicide rates have increased 30% in half the states in...
People so often think of work as a burden. But work is everything I do from the moment I get out of bed to the moment my head hits the pillow at night. My work includes loving my husband, taking care of our home, praying for our kids, volunteering, exercising, running a business, being a listener and (sometimes) an advisor, enjoying time with friends, and, even, watching a few TV shows.
This is the work that my heavenly Father has set out for me to do. Every part of me is being used every day to work in some way.
Our everyday work is actually a response to God’s lead and surrender to His will. That’s the fuel. If we want more power in our everyday work, we need to stop trusting so much in our own human willpower and place our dependence where it belongs – in the finished work of Jesus.
Sometimes God has to take us halfway across the world to remind us he can also use us right in our backyard. Christa Hitchcock was raised in the church but it was in middle school that her faith became very real and her journey to live missionally in the place God put...
There are only 400 known believers in this country today, but a year ago there were less than 300. God is using business, technology, and other nontraditional means to reach people for the Kingdom of God, and we believe this region is about to explode with the Gospel. That’s why we have to go. We have to tell 11,000,000 people that there is hope in Jesus. Will you help us?
Today's feature is a creative story surrounding the “work underneath our work". This story is a beautiful illustration of how Jesus came to do the work we can’t do for ourselves so that our work can become what it was designed to be. Maybe you too have taken a journey...
Most people in the world view work as a necessary evil to be tolerated. In fact, our negative view of work has found its way into at least one hundred pop culture radio hits over the last fifty years. From the Beatles A Hard Day’s Night, to Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5....
Our family is a huge fan of the TV Show Psych, where a quick-witted smart-aleck with a photographic memory deceives the Santa Barbara police department into believing he has supernatural crime-solving abilities. My kids can probably quote some Sean Spencer quips...
We’re back with Part 2 of the Brett Snodgrass Podcast. Hear from Erik Cooper as he shares his heart for ministry in the marketplace and our responsibility in The Great Commission.
“BAM is recapturing something old, not creating something new.” Hear from Erik Cooper as he explains business as mission is not a gimmick. It’s the real deal, and we expect to see more and more of it as the days unfold, and we see the Great Commission fulfilled.
There are a lot of “Gospel words” that we love to talk about. Words like; renew, regenerate, or resurrection, those are words we can get behind when it comes to our faith. But there is another word that we don’t like to talk about too much, but yet it’s equally as important. This week Erik shares with us what God has been speaking to him during this unique season of life.
