26. Cultivating Abundant Life Part 3: Work as Worship w/ Joe & Allison Priola Everyone has a rhythm, or rule of life—patterns of living and being. The question is, do our rhythms support the life that Jesus invited us into, or are we being guided by a "thief" that destroys it (John 10). This episode is the third part of a mini-series on recalibrating our rhythm of life. We discuss the second prong of the trellis, Work. Joining Scott are friends Joe and Allison Priola. We discuss how our work is our God-given purpose (both paid and unpaid) and a way to reflect God in worship. We also talk about the practical questions: What skills and resources has God give me and my group? How can these gifts be a blessing to the community God has placed us in? Joe and Allison Priola are on national staff with Cru City, after many years of being area directors for Cru’s college campus ministry on the Central Coast and then San Diego.
