"We are story animals. Stories can change us" - Yann Martel, author Life of Pi
Eat. Commute. Work. Commute. Eat. Sleep. Repeat.
Life often feels pretty repetitive and mundane, each day not too different from the rest. But what if the repetitive and mundane was part of something bigger? A bigger story that literally changes everything…including our work.
Join us as we discover the difference God's story from Genesis to Revelation makes to every aspect of your daily labour. And uncover the impact this can have on your colleagues as they see how your work fits into God’s life-changing story.
