Every Good Endeavor

Connecting Your Work to God's Work

Timothy Keller

In 'Every Good Endeavor,' Timothy Keller explores the biblical perspectives on work, addressing questions such as the purpose of work, finding meaning in a competitive workplace, and staying true to one's values while advancing in a career. The book is divided into three parts: God's plan for work, our problems with work, and the Gospel and work. Keller emphasizes that work is a gift from God and should be approached with excellence, integrity, discipline, creativity, and passion as acts of worship. He also highlights the importance of understanding work through a Christian worldview, which can provide a foundation for a thriving professional and balanced personal life.

Today, we get a firsthand account of Charlie Kirk's memorial from Allie, who was in attendance. She also addresses the dangers of labeling the event as "Christian nationalism," while celebrating the members of the Trump administration who preached the gospel. Plus, we are also joined by guest-host Ron Simmons, who reflects on Charlie Kirk's legacy and the impact his assassination has had on families, especially parents. He also dives into the latest news from Capitol Hill, which includes a possible government shutdown. And finally, Ron answers some impactful viewer questions, ranging from mortgage rates and life insurance to when to stop having children.
