Faith At Work 1 Q&A - Peter Jeffrey

Christian’s can have many competing demands: careers and making money; leading and serving at church; loving their family; raising kids; the list goes on. It can often be difficult to discern how to prioritise commitments and in some cases it can all feel quite overwhelming! This is made even harder when work is extremely stressful. We can be confident in our identity before God but attempting to achieve a work / life balance is never easy. Claire will be speaking on what we can learn from Jesus’ example which can give us a new perspective and mind-set for the demands we face. As a Mum, business owner and elder’s wife in a thriving church, Clare is ideally placed to speak on having an eternal perspective when managing the competing stresses of family, work and church.

This is the second in the Faith at Work breakfast series. Claire Wilson will be speaking on the Work-life Balancing Act.

Claire is a member of the City Church Canterbury where her husband is an elder. They have two children: Ben & Emma.

Faith At Work 2 - Clare Wilson

As Christians we are already a part of the biggest and ultimate success story of all time. However, it can often feel like there is still a lot of pressure to compromise our Christian values in order to advance and be successful at work. It is not always clear how our faith should shape our perspectives on ambition, success and failure in the workplace.
