The Power of Holy Intent and Reweaving Glory through Work

The podcast episode explores the biblical view of work as a form of contribution rather than mere careerism. It challenges the prevailing notion of work as the centerpiece of one's identity and life's purpose, highlighting the dangers of workism. The biblical vision of work is presented as actively partnering with God in taking the world forward, cultivating and developing its potential for the flourishing of everyone. The episode emphasizes that work should be motivated by love, guided by scripture, and done with excellence. It calls for viewing work as an act of discipleship, an opportunity to make a unique contribution, and a facet of our apprenticeship to Jesus. Through the practice of vocation, work can become a spiritual discipline, a way of reweaving the manifest glory of God into the created order.
