Episode notes

The number one question that you're asked in America is what do you do for a living? And most people don't like that question. The people who like it are people who are proud of their jobs. Many of us see work as part of our identity. Work cannot carry the burden of all of those things. Reality is who's going to provide your significance, your identity, your passion, your wealth, your usefulness,. Your success in your worth and if it's work, you're going in a bad direction.

Is there a distinctly Christian way to go about our day jobs? In this episode of White Horse Inn, Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland consider what makes our work valuable. They challenge the human tendency to search for ultimate significance and satisfaction in our work, pointing listeners to God’s design for believers to live out their vocations under God’s pleasure, in the power of the Spirit, and within the rhythms of work and rest that he provides.
