In this episode, Ken Freire and Patrick Lowndes compare two drastically different work cultures: the "normal" self-focused culture of the world and the countercultural, service-oriented work ethic of the Kingdom of God. They walk through four contrasts that highlight how followers of Jesus can reflect Kingdom values in their 9-to-5 by choosing service over self-promotion, team wins over personal glory, above-and-beyond effort over bare minimums, and people over projects. If you're ready to rethink how you work, this episode gives you a practical framework to evaluate and shift your daily habits and mindset.
