Welcome to God-sized Stories with Patricia Holbrook!
In this episode, we dive deep into the significance of work and its impact on our lives. Join me and our insightful guest, David Bahnsen, as we unpack the generational differences in attitudes towards work, the importance of finding purpose, and the significance of work in the Kingdom of God.
David Bahnsen shares thought-provoking insights about the societal and economic changes that have shaped the way different generations view work. We discuss the messaging around retirement and its potential link to post-retirement depression, drawing from personal experiences and biblical perspectives.
We also touch on the challenges individuals, especially women, face in balancing work and family. Our conversation sheds light on the immigrant perspective on work ethic and the need for society to recognize the inherent value of work in shaping our identities.
We challenge the notion of work as strictly "secular" or "ministry," emphasizing that all work can be an act of worship. David Bahnsen beautifully unpacks the Hebrew word "avodah" and its significance, redefining our understanding of work as an opportunity to glorify God.
This episode will inspire you to view your work as a calling and as a means to contribute to the flourishing of the Kingdom. Stay tuned for a heartwarming discussion that will challenge and inspire you. Don't miss out on this enriching conversation!
And as a token of our gratitude for tuning in, we're hosting a book giveaway related to our discussion. Make sure to like, subscribe, and comment for a chance to win a copy of David Bahnsen's book.
