Show Notes

Ever wonder “What is God’s purpose for my work? Does my work matter for eternity, even if I’m not a missionary or don’t work for a church?” Best-selling author Jordan Raynor and I share about unspoken mindsets in the Church regarding secular work and life purpose, the Bible’s surprising wisdom on the type of work God sees as valuable, and how to discover new enthusiasm for the daily work God’s given you in this season. 

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

[04:48] Is the Great Commission the Church’s Only Mission?

[08:33] Are Those Called to Secular Work on the “Junior Varsity Team for God”?

[11:40] “God values our work and delights in every project we manage”

[14:47] But won’t any work outside of sharing the Gospel be burnt up on Judgment Day?

[25:41] On the pressures Christian women feel to call our businesses a “ministry”

[33:59] “If you're seeking first the kingdom of heaven, then nothing you do is secular”

[36:28] Alicia’s Reflections: Do you carry the mental weight of believing that your job isn’t valuable?
