Helen M. Mitchell, in September 2011, then Director and co-founder of Saddleback Church’s workplace ministry, Saddleback@Work, discusses with Talbot School of Theology faculty and the late Dallas Willard, the outcomes and objectives of deploying a responsible theology of work in the local church to disciple workplace believers.
In this video clip, the Biola graduate and guest lecturer shares with us how the R.I.D.E. framework offers the local church a framework to strategically enter into faith, work and vocation.
“Before we go out and start programming what we’re going to do in the local church, we really need to have a good solid understanding of not only the theology of work but have a framework or a strategy to understand how we’re going to move the change. And look at what are some of the outcomes and what does that look like?”
