What does loving your neighbour actually look like in your Monday world of work?

In this episode, Tom Nelson tells the story of Thomas Kim, who founded a car wash business not just to turn a profit, but to open doors of economic opportunity for vulnerable young people in his Chicago community. Tom then turns to the Old Testament story of Ruth and Boaz, where a landowner's quiet attentiveness to a vulnerable foreigner changes the entire course of her life, and ultimately the biblical story itself.

Drawing on the book of Ruth and Jesus's words in Matthew 25, you'll discover that neighbourly love isn't an add-on to your work. It's meant to be woven into the very fabric of it.

You'll learn:
-Why attentiveness, not grand gestures, is where neighbourly love begins
-How Boaz used his position to protect and provide for Ruth, without ever exploiting his power
-Practical ways to empower others in your workplace through mentorship, advocacy and opportunity
-Why Jesus says that what you do for "the least of these," you do for him

Your work is never just about you. Somewhere in your Monday world is a Ruth: someone overlooked, someone vulnerable, someone waiting for a door to open.
