In this episode Bjorn Wagner and Teena Dare unpack the concept of habitus. The workplace is one of the subcultures that shape our habits which slowly train us to feel, think and act in certain ways. Björn invites us to grow in awareness of opportunities to be reformed into the likeness of Christ in our work and rest.
