Good Work

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’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.

Drawing on the stories of his business, Edgerton Gear, Dave teaches you how to cultivate true inner goodness, meaning, and mission at work—no matter what you do. Your workplace can and should be a place of significance.

The Craftsman’s Code

Dave leads us on a deeply personal discovery of a life of deep significance, drawing upon his blue-collar roots and the influence of his machinist father. In Part One, we delve deep into the six principles of The Craftsman’s Code, discovering the dignity and sacredness of everyday, ordinary work our world too often takes for granted. Part Two offers us a full tool belt of practical disciplines to build a meaningful life and enduring legacy. Dave’s blue-collar spirituality recaptures the ancient wisdom of a simple life, rich with goodness, and deep with purpose.
