We start Friday April 3 from 12:00-12:30 with a 15-minute Q&A afterward. Also Patrick and his wife Emily (who happens to be an interior designer) put together 20 tips for working from home. You can read their https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/stories/how-to-work-from-home-effectively/ (blog here). ---- "God cares a lot about our work. And how we do our work is really important to him. So when we're talking about working from home, we're not talking about something that is peripheral to our Christian faith." As many are finding out, working from home is still work! It has its own set of challenges. In fact, maybe you can't wait to get out of the house and back into the office. When you're working from home, it can be more difficult to find the motivation. Or maybe you have the opposite problem and don't know when to take a break. And then there are so many other demands and distractions vying for your attention. https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ (Patrick) and his wife know the struggle and https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/stories/how-to-work-from-home-effectively/ (share some tips) that help them be more productive. Hear about some of them in this episode as Patrick covers a few with https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/keith-simon/ (Keith). Interested in more content like this?
