Faith in the Workplace - Jerry Nelson

For each of us, we spend an incredible amount of our time at our place of “work”. In each of these circles, we often wrestle with striking the best balance between diligence in our work and living out our calling as followers of Jesus. But are these things mutually exclusive? In today’s conversation, I asked Jerry Nelson – Chief Ministry Officer at Association of Christian Schools International – to help us to think deeper about our work and the rhythms that we live out in the places to which God has called us. Whether you are a student, parent, working in Christian ministry or any other vocation; this conversation is sure to encourage and challenge all of us as we seek to bring glory and honor to our Creator through our work.Jerry Nelson is the Chief Ministry Officer at ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International).
