God really does intend for us to find joy at work!

Yet, joy and work are seldom used in the same sentence. How can we learn to enjoy our jobs and our lives?

Bring the marketplace to your church for the CCN broadcast, Finding Joy at Work: A Revolutionary Approach to Fun on the Job and discover how joy on the job is possible!

The average person works 111,800 hours in a career. For all the time, energy, and sacrifices, do you find your work to be filled with joy and meaning? Or are these things reserved only for ministry or church?

God has created us with the ability to reason, to make decisions, and to take responsibility for our actions. When these things come together, we all can experience Joy at Work!

Gather business leaders in your church and community to hear how Dennis Bakke, author of the bestseller, Joy at Work, created one of the world’s most energetic, creative and fun workplaces at AES - a worldwide energy giant with 40,000 employees in 31 countries.

Brad Smith, co-author of the Joy at Work Bible Study Companion, will join him to give leaders an understanding of the biblical purpose of business and decision-making.

This lively and encouraging program will feature firsthand interviews with leaders who have applied the Joy at Work principles:

• Doug Holladay, partner, Park Avenue Equity Partners
• Tommy Brooks, minister and former AES leader
• Innotec, auto part manufacturer using the Joy at Work approach

Invite the marketplace to your church for this inspiring training!
