The majority of the Christian life is spent not at church but in the world, and yet so many struggle to understand how their faith connects to their work, whether paid or unpaid, inside or outside of the home. In this seven-week course, Justin will examine the Scriptures to show that God cares about every single sphere of life––in fact, He has created humanity in His image to work. This class will seek to provide a holistic definition of work, offer an overall framework for how Christians should understand their work, and give some practical ways that Christians can honor God and serve others through their work.

Episode 3 ~ God's Plan for Work Part 2: Work as Cultivation & Service
This week Justin looks at the purpose of our work, namely that it is to be one of the primary ways Christians love God and serve their neighbor. He discusses the importance of competency in our work as we seek to meet the needs of the world around us. He closes with brief video clip of a talk delivered by Andy Crouch at the 2018 Jubilee Conference which discussed our on how our work was intended to reflect God's creative activity, bringing order and abudance to the world in order to produce more flourishing. As His image bearers, each of us are gifted to develop, cultivate and unlock the world's created potential in and through our vocations.
