"Good Work" - with Craig and Susan (Hosted by Josephine Chamberlain on the Messages of Hope Podcast)

Recently, Craig (Engage Lead) and Susan (Engage Women's Ministry Lead) had the opportunity to sit with Joanne Chamberlain from Lutheran Media as part of their 'Messages of Hope Podcast'.  The topic was "good work" - and explored the crucial role our faith has in the workplace.

Hospitality with Heart - a conversation with Susan and Merle

On Thursday 11th June, Engage Work Faith ran an event named 'Hospitality with Heart'. The evening was full of Biblical encouragement for hospitality with heart, practical ideas for simple snacks, grazing platters and meals, and featured a little tasting too (yum!). Interestingly, the Bible says a lot about hospitality. Whether you love it or find it overwhelming (“no time, nothing in the pantry!”), hospitality doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. Hospitality is an entrée (pun intended!) to deeper friendships and sharing faith — we can make it part of our everyday life – and heart! This episode features an audio conversation from the event with Susan and Merle; it was originally captured in video form, and was transcribed later into audio form. We hope you enjoy the episode!    Thanks to Freezedream (podcast theme music) Thanks to bensound.com for his in-video/audio song 'Lunar Years' Thanks to all Engage members, friends and supporters who contributed to this event.
