Episodes

  1. Introduction to Work and Its Role in Redemption and Sanctification of Life

    Carolyn introduces her final broadcast series for "Redeeming Work". Christianity has always linked work to God. From this linkage flow all the blessings of work - which include the redeeming, sanctifying work the Spirit performs in the world and in us through our daily work.

  2. Heavenly Work

    This week we bring this series to a close by looking at the future of work. We use the letter of First, Second and Third John and the Book of Revelation. We are calling today's broadcast, "Heavenly Work."

    Today Carolyn reviews the New Testament Epistles from a work perspective, and especially focuses on the topic of culture and how the role of our daily work impacts the culture of any society.

  4. Kingdom Work

    This week's broadcast introduces the Gospels which are a unique literary creation to introduce people to the life, teaching and deeds of Jesus and the extraordinary message he embodies- the Gospel of the Kingdom of God.

  5. Just Work

    In this broadcast we're going to look at the prophets. Compared to the reflectiveness of the wisdom literature, the prophets are like getting hit with a cannon blast! The prophets had a passion for justice and the workplace and they didn't mind getting in your face about it!

  6. Soul Work

    In this broadcast, we want to move into what are known as the Wisdom Books, where we'll better understand the "Soul Work."

  11. Sunday Means Embracing

    Sunday Means Embracing

  12. Sunday Means Resting

  16. The Eternal Law for Every Worker

    We Americans often have a type of love/hate or even distrustful or resentful relationship with our legal system. In today’s session we will ask an even more controversial question: “Just how important is God’s law anymore?”

  20. Un-Sin Me Once Upon A Miracle

    This week we’re going to talk about the sixth beatitude (Matthew 5:8): “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God!” Obviously, this beatitude centers around one really big issue – purity. Carolyn Schoenborn says Scripture has a pretty amazing message about that!

  21. It's All A Matter Of Perspective

    “It’s all in your perspective!” How often have we heard that said? But, have you ever stopped to realize that mercy is all about perspective, as well? Realizing this gives a whole new “perspective” to understanding the fifth beatitude of mercy

  22. Righteousness Versus Self Righteousness

    Matthew 5:6: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.” In this fourth beatitude, Carolyn Schoenborn particularly focuses on the difference between hungering and thirsting for true righteousness meant for the common good of all, versus hungering for...

    Almost every work environment has elements that encourage us to be aggressive rather than meek. As a result, many of us have bought into the idea that meekness is a form of weakness. But that’s really just a myth!
