In this episode, Jen shares about chapter 4 of Women & Work, which she authored, entitled, “You Are What You Do. Or Are You?” Courtney and Jen discuss:
- How our identity and value as a woman become tangled with our productivity; how to combat this biblically
- How to both work hard as unto the Lord, yet all the while knowing that it is God who is at work in you (Philippians 2:12-13)
- How to practically schedule our calendars in a way that embraces dependence on God instead of hustle
- How she personally renews her mind and realigns herself when her work life becomes too self-centered or self-sufficient
- Tools that she uses to make the most of her schedule
