Work, Life… Mission Balance: Finding the sweet spot
- Breakout Session
- Main Building ED 156 (Preschool Chapel)
- November 7 2025 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM
The mantra of the current workforce is to find the perfect work, life balance. Unfortunately, this pursuit seems inconsistent with missions where the workers are few, the need is great, and the monetary compensation is low. Social media seems to have only fueled that disconnect with digital envy. At the same time, what lessons can we learn from previous generations who may have had an unhealthy relationships with work, resulting in brokenness at home and in their personal journeys? Should not our Christian organizations be a place of peace, healing, respect especially for our employees?
The call to missions is a call to partner, to sacrifice, to worship.
• How do we pursue missions wisely?
• How do we protect our families in the process?
• How do we engage our employers to be Employers of choice where they partner with us to find the sweet spot of work, life, MISSIONS Balance?
Dr. Thomas will share from Scriptures as well as from Garden City by John Mark Comer on how the Lord views our work and our role in Kingdom Building. He will share his journey from the exam rooms of rural Appalachia to the board room where he champions being an Employer of Choice and a light for the community.
