Episode notes

A story goes that a guy in seminary training to be a pastor got a summer job working at a factory. He would take smoke breaks every hour and a half or so, but they were devotional times. Instead of smoking, he would be praying and doing his devotions. The gentleman who was going to the seminary did not engage in his biblical smoke breaks,. But instead continued to work on the line the whole time.

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.
