In this episode, we kick off a brand-new series on the theology of work, exploring what Scripture actually says about labor, calling, and vocation — starting not with us, but with God Himself. 📖 Pre-order Jonny Ardavanis's new book Get to Work: Seeing Your Daily Grind as God’s Good Gift here: https://a.co/d/04k0sFpo We dig into Genesis 1 to see God revealed as Creator, Artist, Sustainer, and Worker long before Adam and Eve ever showed up. We look at Jesus's own life — including His 20+ years as a tekton (carpenter/builder) — and unpack why the Gospel of Mark uses the word \"immediately\" 41 times to describe His ministry. If we're made in the image of a working God, what does that mean for how we view our own 9-to-5, our calling, and our sense of purpose? Along the way we talk about: ✅ The Biblical theology of work vs. the \"curse\" mentality ✅ Genesis 1 and God as Creator, Sustainer, and Artist ✅ Jesus as a carpenter and what His \"immediacy\" reveals about work ✅ Why Christians talk more about rest & Sabbath than a theology of work ✅ Labor force participation, burnout, and finding balance ✅ Work as worship — from CEOs to stay-at-home parents to busboys This is Part 1 of a multi-part series diving into a comprehensive, Scripture-grounded view of work — setting up themes from the upcoming book \"Get to Work.\"","meta_description":"Is work a curse from the Fall — or something far more sacred?
