006: Dustin Messer on Labor and the Easy Yoke


Listen Later

In this episode, Dustin Messer, vicar at All Saints Dallas, helps us explore the intersection of faith and work through Jesus' teaching on the easy yoke (Matthew 11:25-30), discussing the purpose of business, the elimination of sin, and the creation of order from chaos. They also discuss the concept of efficiency and the importance of eliminating waste in work. The idea of yoking oneself to Christ is explored, and how it brings rest and structure to our lives. The hosts also touch on the history of the yoke as a metaphor and how it relates to teaching. The episode ends with a benediction inviting listeners to take on Christ's yoke and find rest in Him.
