They then guide us in how to pursue shalom, which basically means ‘nothing missing, nothing broken’ – a wholeness in harmony with God, ourselves, and creation.
In this article, Sibs Sibanda introduces the important doctrine of common grace. He explains why a misunderstanding of common grace causes Christians to have either an overly optimistic or an overly pessimistic view of the world, and highlights a few practical implications for business.
In this episode of the Monday Christian Podcast Series, Paul Kim and Sibs Sibanda comment on the contemporary ideal of achieving work-life balance.

Paul Kim and Sibs Sibanda define the gift of common grace in more detail, and discuss its practical implications for business.
