<div><p><b>What Can Blue-Collar Business Teach Us About Work and Faith?</b></p><b></b><p>The faith and work conversation is alive and well, but most resources focus on white-collar jobs, neglecting the majority of the workforce. When Dave Hataj realized he needed to go home and take over the family gear shop, he didn&#8217;t expect it to become a spiritually transformative season of his life. Yet as he began to think about what it meant to be a Christian in business, he discovered just how much our work matters to God and how blue-collar business can change people, communities, and even the world.</p><p>Drawing on the stories of his business, Edgerton Gears, Dave teaches you how to cultivate true inner goodness, meaning, and mission at work&#8212;no matter what you do. Your workplace can and should be a place of significance.</p></div>
