After 34 years working in energy engineering and trading, Ken Snodgrass decided to make a change. He retired in 2014 from his London position as General Manager of Shell Energy Europe and moved to Austin, Texas. After 3 months of settling into his new community, Ken was sitting in a seminary classroom as a full-time graduate student. His goal was to answer a burning question: What is the connection between work and faith?

Napping
I have exercised early in the morning for almost 40 years. I realized in my twenties that if I did not commit to an early morning run or gym session, there was a high probability that my exercising would not get done later in the day. I commuted to downtown…
