When we close the gap between our lives of faith and our daily work, we begin to see work as a gift from God to be used as a vehicle for blessing. And through our work we are each given various levels of wealth, influence, and standing. Sagamore Institute Senior Fellow Amy Sherman has said, for the “city to rejoice” the righteous “must be stewarding their power, wealth, skills and influence for the common good to bring about noticeable, significant transformation in the city… the (righteous) bring nothing less than foretastes of the Kingdom of God into reality.”
At this year’s CFWLA annual conference, Stewarding Vocational Influence, God’s people will gather to explore a renewed vision and practical insights to leverage their own vocational power for God’s good purposes in their lives and the good of their neighbors in Los Angeles. Speakers will develop this theme and explore pathways, the economics and real world examples of fostering vocational stewardship for a flourishing city.
