We try to find ways to help people (ourselves included) tap into the deep resources of their faith or spirituality and thereby find sources of strength, purpose, and wisdom in their work lives.
This can involve exploring spiritual practices, engaging the Bible and the Christian tradition, and considering the connections between the practical or secular aspects and the spiritual aspects of our daily work.
