Description:
Tithe Your Career is your invitation to the movement of recent grads who are saying 'yes' to God's Great Commission and investing the first two years of their career in missional and practical work among our global neighbors.
Brief description: Paul's life trajectory was set when he tithed his career in Amsterdam after college. He's lived in three countries and visited all 50 states, constantly hunting for hidden gems and connecting with people from all sorts of backgrounds. Paul founded GoCorps in '09 to help Christians in their 20s follow Christ among the nations. Paul's mildly fanatical about city biking, Airbnb and lime green. He's living the #dadlife in South Minneapolis with his three soccer star sons and wife Julia who fights injustice and loves all things Pittsburgh.

"Tithe Your Career proposes a framework for a lifestyle that inspires ordinary believers to step out in simple obedience, leading to extraordinary impact." Dr. Lisa Hernández, Dean, College of Arts & Sciences, California Baptist University"One of the top questions I've heard for two decades from college grads stepping into the marketplace is, 'How can I continue to engage with God's global mission?' In Tithe Your Career, Paul and Katy offer an inspiring and transformative answer, showing how to weave your career into God's greater purpose. This is an invitation you can't afford to miss-one that could lead to a life where the start of your career isn't just a job, but a powerful tool in advancing God's kingdom." Jason Kuhlman, Regional Director, Student Mobilization"As the Director of Urbana, I am constantly inspired by the stories of young individuals who choose to align their careers with a higher calling. Tithe Your Career is a compelling guide that challenges the conventional pursuit of self, stuff, and security, urging readers to embrace a life of purpose and impact. This book is a beacon for those ready to step beyond the familiar and into a world where their talents and passions can truly make a difference. It beautifully captures the essence of living strategically for God's mission. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking to integrate their faith with their professional aspirations." Mark Matlock, Executive Director, Urbana, Author of Faith For The Curious"In Tithe Your Career, Van Der Werf and White draw fresh water from an ancient well-that is, the Great Commission and God's vision to see the harvest flooded with workers. They winsomely invite readers to participate in God's global work and to "put their yes on the table and let God put it on the map". Like fresh water for the soul, their inspiration for Going Well, Going Like Jesus, Going with Confidence, and Going Now provide a cohesive vision of both discernment and action. This book will empower young adults to search their hearts, question their assumptions, and change their thinking." Dr. Steve Ivester, Dean, Wheaton College, President, Association for Christians in Student development
