Jon Sedlak calls Christians to recover the dignity of the skilled trades and to recognize craftsmanship as a vital form of Christian vocation. Drawing on his experience as a master electrician, he argues that the trades cultivate embodied wisdom, genuine competence, humility, endurance, excellence, and face-to-face service within local communities.Sedlak challenges churches, parents, and educators to stop treating the trades as a lesser path. Instead, Christian communities should train young people in practical skills, connect them with skilled mentors, honor tradesmen as essential servants of the city, and build networks that pass craftsmanship from one generation to the next.The 2026 Theopolitan Ministry Conference on the Theopolis App!https://app.theopolisinstitute.com/tabs/home/albums/71604?collectionId=1656Give to our work and become a partner!theopolisinstitute.com/give/Get the Theopolis App!app.theopolisinstitute.com/menuUse Code "theopolitan" to get your first month free!______________________Sign up for In Medias Resmailchi.mp/0b01d726f2fe/inmediasres________Theopolis on Youtubewww.youtube.com/c/TheopolisinstituteTheopolis Blog:theopolisinstitute.com/theopolis-blog/Website:theopolisinstitute.comTwitter:@_theopolis
