Episode notes

Eric Lydall's ability to run and in running enjoy God's pleasure gives us a glimpse of the Christian vision for work. For Lydall, both his missionary work in China and his running were rooted in eternity rather than present day financial needs. The Christian goal is for believers to live out their vocation under God's pleasure within the rhythms of work and rest that he provides.

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.
