“Workism.” Do you live to work, or work to live? “Workism” was defined by Derek Thompson a few years ago in The Atlantic as “the belief that work is not only necessary to economic production, but also the centerpiece of one's identity and life's purpose, and the belief that any policy to promote human welfare must always encourage more work.”

As our nation pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers this Labor Day weekend, ask yourself where do you find fulfillment and life purpose? Is it from your job? Or are we suffering a “meaning crisis”? Join Pastor Tony Minear, Ph.D. as he explores “workism” and what motivates the American worker. He is joined in the discussion by Janelle Tapphorn, M.A. 

We’d love to hear your feedback! Email us at media@beatitudeschurch.org. Where do you find your life purpose and fulfillment?

Are you a tree hugger? This derogatory term, often wielded at environmentalists, may have merit after all. Before you answer, you are encouraged to go hug a tree and see how you both feel.
