Matthew Kaemingk is a co-author of an extraordinary new book, Work and Worship: Reconnecting Our Labor and Liturgy. Matthew, along with his writing partner, Cory Willson, have thought deeply about how our work and worship are not meant to be disconnected experiences, but crucial aspects of life that are deeply woven together. Through our work, we learn to worship God in new ways. Through our worship, we learn to work in new ways. When work and worship come together, we experience deeper integration and meaning. We learn to love God more fully as we experience God’s love more completely.
