Episode 5: Images We Can't Unsee
The images of work that fill our mental landscape determine how we navigate our work lives. Images can haunt us, or they can draw us into beauty and life. What would it look like to fill our minds with the images that Scripture gives us to describe our work? Starting in this episode, we'll look at a series of biblical images that show us how we can work with Jesus every day: Gardener, Artist, Priest, Builder, King, Friend, Servant, and Emissary.

Episode 4: Power
In the Power story, work is the castle that keeps us safe. But what do we sacrifice for the sake of that security? "Security" isn't so far off from "salvation": when we live inside this story, we try to save ourselves through our work efforts. But Jesus tells us: "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns." There's a different way to be saved, in our Father's care. That way frees us to protect not just our work, but also the rest of life.

Episode 3: Lifestyle
The Lifestyle story about work tells us we can "get work over with" to find fulfillment elsewhere. But is that really a fulfilling approach to our work life? When we let Jesus become the integrating center of our lives at work, he gives us a better way. Working with "singleness of heart" brings our work into one, undivided life.

Episode 2: Do What You Love
Do What You Love. It's an enticing story about work, but a disappointing one. Pursuing passion keeps us from reconciling with the limitations of our circumstances. With Jesus' help, we can honor our longing for fulfillment at work while still finding contentment in our less-than-perfect jobs. Regardless of whether our work aligns with our deepest longings, God can fulfill his purposes through it as he uses it to shape our hearts.

Episode 1: TGIF
In the first episode of Finding God at Work, we look at how story and imagination influence the way we work. It's true—work often feels like drudgery. But if we look at work through the lens of psychological insights and the story of Scripture, we can confront our pain rather than numb it, and ultimately experience healing in the presence of Jesus. Join us as we explore a more beautiful story for work than TGIF.
