72: David Rylaarsdam - Monkish Rhythms for Our Work

Faith, Work & Rest

Welcome to Surge’s Faith, Work, and Rest podcast. Our goal is to help God’s people discern their vocations and reimagine their occupations for the good of their neighbors and the glory of God. In this episode, we listen to a conversation between Teena and Dr. David Rylaarsdam about how we can learn healthy work rhythms from monks and how we can connect faith and social action. David Rylaarsdam began his teaching career at Smith Memorial Bible College in Nigeria, and since has taught at the University of Notre Dame, Dordt College, Missional Training Center (Phoenix), Calvin Prison Initiative, and Calvin Seminary. He has also served a variety of churches as interim pastor and received missionary training in Mexico City. His research interests are focused on Christian spiritual practices, discipleship, and leadership training throughout history. Links: surgenetwork.com/start-faith-work-rest www.missionaltraining.org/
