Faith Works Podcast Launches Episode 1 on Work & Power
The inaugural episode of the Faith Works Podcast focuses on the human side of work and Biblical reflection. The episode features two speakers: Dr. Kelly Monahan MSL '09 (Strategic Leadership), a researcher at a Fortune 500 company, and Wally Fleming, a pastor with business insight.
Some of the key topics discussed include:
- The "Monday heart attack" - the anxiety and stress many feel about returning to work after the weekend
- The power paradox - how power can both help and corrupt individuals in the workplace
- The "cookie monster" concept - the idea that powerful people can be insatiable in their pursuit of more power
- Integrating the "whole" person in the workplace, not just the professional facade
- Exploring the fruit of the spirit from Galatians 5:22-23 and how it applies to work
This episode aims to provide a fresh perspective on the future of work, moving beyond just technology and automation to focus on the human experience and a Biblical framework for navigating work and power dynamics. Listeners can expect thought-provoking insights and practical wisdom from the diverse experiences of the speakers.
