How do we keep work from becoming an idol?

Work is a good gift from God, but it was never meant to take God’s place. In this episode, we talk about how men can work hard, provide well, and pursue excellence without finding their identity, security, or worth in their work.

We’ll look at what Scripture says about ambition, success, rest, family, and seeking first the kingdom of God.

Work hard. Provide well. Lead strong. But don’t bow down.

Be strong. Lead well.
