The Sacredness of Secular Work: How Your Job Matters to God



If you've ever struggled to connect your faith to your work or felt like your job was just a necessary evil, this episode is for you! Join me as I explore the powerful biblical truth that ALL work is sacred and eternally significant to God.

I recently interviewed Jordan Raynor about his paradigm-shifting book "The Sacredness of Secular Work" and it completely transformed my perspective on faith and career. In this episode, I unpack some of the key ideas and share how our everyday work - no matter how mundane it may seem - is a vital way we worship God, love our neighbors, and participate in his redemptive mission.

You'll discover:

  • Why an "abridged gospel" that only focuses on personal salvation is hindering our witness in the workplace
  • How pursuing excellence and integrity in our jobs is one of our greatest opportunities for evangelism
  • What it looks like to steward our talents and cultivate the world in a way that reflects the image of our Creator
  • Practical ways to connect your faith to your work and find renewed purpose in your vocation

Whether you're an entrepreneur, artist, corporate executive, or stay-at-home parent, this episode will bring you immense encouragement and inspiration to step into your calling with joy!
