Episode notes

Before the fall, our motivation for doing it is just completely spoiled if we don't try to put it under the submission in the words of Christ. So they were using the very hands that God had given them to glorify himself for the glory of their own name. That's the tragedy of work as well. Now a third estate has to be established. We need to have some buddy in charge.

When we talk about work, it’s easy to jump right to the Fall and consider how work is frustrated by sin. But how does the pre-Fall creation narrative shape our understanding of vocation? And what does that mean for a post-Fall reality? In this episode of White Horse Inn, Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, and Bob Hiller are joined by special guest Walter Strickland in a new series examining the doctrine of vocation. This episode looks at the goodness inherent to work, what it looks like to image God in our vocations, and how the Sabbath shapes our approach to the work week.
