Product Description

Lectures 1 & 2 (Disc 1 & 2)

Thinking Vocationally of Our Life and Work: Theological Foundations & Some Practical Considerations

What does it mean to approach life in light of Godˇ¦s calling? This is both a theological question (the nature of calling) but also a practical question ˇV it has implications for how we make decisions about work and career. These lectures will provide a Christian vision for thinking and acting on work and career matters in light of the biblical understanding of vocation. The lectures will demonstrate that ˇ§thinking vocationallyˇ¨ provides the Christian with a sense of purpose, direction and freedom in the midst of the multiple and competing demands of our relationships and work commitments. (Cantonese interpretation provided)

 

Lecture 3 (Disc 3)

The Transitions of Life, Work and Career: Learning from Adult Developmental Psychology

While our understanding of vocation, work and career needs to be approached theologically ˇV with a clear and biblical understanding of the nature of work and the meaning of vocation ˇV the Christian community has much to learn from those with expertise in developmental psychology. In this lecture, Gordon will interact with the insights of James Fowler, best known for his work, Stages of Faith. (Lecture conducted in English only)
