Patheos Launches New Channel on Faith and Work
Patheos Launches New Channel on Faith and Work
Dec 17, 2025 12:30 AM

Patheos has just launched a new channel called MISSION:WORK, which aims to host a wide and varied discussion about faith and work. Led by senior editor Chris Armstrong of Bethel Seminary, the site will serve as a hub of sorts, drawing content from a variety of places, including the Acton Institute, to cultivate a conversation on whole-life discipleship.

As described on the web site:

“MISSION:WORK is a place where conversation happens about work and faith. We cover topics ranging from daily life in the workplace, to what the Bible says about work and vocation, to economic systems and their relationship to Christian beliefs, to how to know if God is calling you to a specific job, to how the local church can better equip workers. We draw on content from several other websites pondering these issues, including Theology of Work.org, The High Calling, The Oikonomia Network, the Acton Institute, and the Kern Family Foundation, to find stories, testimonies, tips, biblical wisdom, and challenges for individuals, businesses, pastors, and civic leaders as we work to create a society where God’s economy brings human flourishing for all.”

We look forward to sharing resources with this new endeavor as we continue to expand, explore, and refine this conversation together.

Check out MISSION:WORK here, and be sure to follow them on Facebook and Twitter. You can learn more about the project by watching a series of videos by the site originators.

Charity – the anomaly of giving
if it is true that by our very nature and economy we tend to be transactional and reciprocal, then charity really is a theological virtue. It requires God’s own gift of grace so that we may give gifts like He Who Gives.

The moral threat of measuring the ‘pay gap’
The “ethnic pay gap” in the UK has been estimated at £3.2 billion ($4.2 billion U.S.), or nearly $200 a week. To rectify this, 15 major employers– including the Bank of England, Deloitte UK, and Citibank UK – have agreed (after nudging from the Conservative government) to publish their ethnic pay figures. But Philip Booth warns that these figures are misleading and will harm those they intend to help, in a new essay for Acton’s Religion & Liberty Transatlantic website....
