Unemployment can shatter the psyche - the sense of fear, futility and worthlessness can be overwhelming. During this traumatic time how can we experience the real presence of God in our lives, his hand directing us, and leading us to true success? It is possible that this oppressive time can actually become a huge opportunity to re-shape our beliefs and to live from a place of authenticity. The work is hard, but the reward is beyond any title or toy we could accumulate.

Moderator: Monsignor Michael Heintz '08 Ph.D, director of Notre Dame's Master of Divinity program.

Panelists: Christine Heslin Powers '90, former executive and someone who has confronted unemployment; James Davis, John F. O'Shaughnessy Professor in Family Business.
