Why Blue-Collar Work Matters to God with Dave Hataj & How God Uses Our Senses to Draw Us Closer with Dr. Winfred Neely

Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off our weekly theme, “5 Senses.” Dr. Winfred Neely, the Professor Emeritus of Old Testament, Biblical Interpretation, and Preaching at Moody Bible Institute, explored how our senses can point us toward a deeper experience of God and His presence. Next, Dave Hataj, the author of “Good Work: How Blue Collar Business Can Change Lives, Communities, and the World,” explained why blue-collar work matters to God and how using our hands with excellence, integrity, and purpose can make a lasting impact. We then turn to our listeners and pose the question, “Tell us about a time when god touched your heart through the healthy physical touch of another person.” You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.
