Episode notes
Work Is Worship, Not Performance
- Colossians 3 reframes work as worship by directing our labor toward the Lord rather than human approval.
- Joby Martin argues this mindset changes motivation, integrity, and excellence in everyday jobs.
Avoid Eye Service; Serve Sincerely
- Work with sincerity of heart and avoid 'eye service' or merely pleasing people.
- Remember you are serving the Lord Christ, which reframes daily tasks as spiritual duty.
Motivation From Divine Approval
- Christians should be the hardest workers because they act from approval already received from God.
- This removes people-pleasing and shifts effort toward faithful service.
