From Genesis To Your 9–5: Redeeming How We Work

What if your job—loved or loathed—could become worship? We pull back the curtain on a bigger, better story of work, starting with Genesis 2 where God places humanity in the garden “to work and keep” it. Before the fall, work is a gift; after the fall, it’s harder; through Christ, it’s redeemed. That shift reframes how we see our careers, chores, parenting, and church service. We talk about telling a truer story over our work so our attitude, effort, and integrity reflect God’s character rather than our fluctuating feelings.

Cody Hall joins us to trace a path away from two traps: work-as-identity and work-avoidance. If your worth rides the waves of promotion and performance, time and fear will betray the idol beneath the surface. If apathy has you doing the bare minimum, love for neighbor calls you higher. We dive into practical diagnostics—follow your hours, inventory your anxieties—and a gospel remedy: rest your identity in Christ so you can labor with freedom. That means you can be promoted without pride, laid off without despair, and steady in the ordinary tasks that keep your world running.

We also get honest about the home as our first field of labor. Paychecks don’t replace presence. We share simple practices for starting the “second shift” at the front door—prayer for strength, undistracted attention, small acts of service that say “I see you.” From pushing carts to leading teams, from engineering safer streets to sweeping hallways, every task can love your neighbor and honor God when done with excellence and joy. And beyond personal vocation, we aim our energy at the body of Christ, building up the church by the Spirit as we wait with hope. Listen in, reimagine your daily work, and take one step toward worship-filled labor today. Subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review—what’s the first change you’ll make this week?
