Episode notes
Stay And Seek The City's Welfare
- Jeremiah 29:4-7 commands exiles to put down roots and seek the city's welfare rather than isolate themselves.
- J. D. Greear frames Christian presence in the city as active renewal, not passive separation.
Work Is Worship—Improve Creation
- Treat secular work as co-creating with God and a form of worship by improving creation.
- Do your job well because a well-done job gives others a foretaste of God's kingdom.
Let Excellence Validate Your Faith
- Pursue excellence so your work bears witness to Christ and builds trust in your community.
- Ask if you'd be comfortable attaching Jesus' name to the quality of your work.
