In this continuation of his conversation with Ken Craycraft on Driving Home the Faith, Dr. Jacob Imam, president of the College of St. Joseph the Worker, explores the Catholic understanding of the dignity and purpose of work. Dr. Imam contrasts the Christian vision of labor with the ancient world's disdain for manual work and explains how Christ's own life as a carpenter transformed our understanding of human labor.
The conversation also turns to the College's mission in downtown Steubenville, where students and faculty are helping restore neglected buildings and contribute to the renewal of the surrounding community. For Dr. Imam, work is not simply about earning a living—it is about serving others, building something tangible, and participating in the renewal of the world God has entrusted to us.
