In this episode of The Ordered Life Podcast, we challenge one of the most common pieces of modern career advice: “Find work you love.”

Instead, we argue that work is not primarily about passion or self-fulfillment, but about justice, humility, and responsibility.

We explore why meaningful work begins with justice: rendering what is due to God, to others, and to society through the honest use of our talents. Discovering your mission isn’t about chasing feelings or prestige, but about humility: truthfully recognizing your strengths, limits, and where you are most needed.

Finally, we confront the uncomfortable truth that greatness does not come from comfort. Purposeful work always involves challenge, sacrifice, and perseverance. When work is ordered toward service and excellence rather than ease, it becomes a powerful path to freedom, dignity, and growth.

If you’ve ever felt restless, unmotivated, or confused about your career path, this episode offers a clearer framework rooted in virtue, order, and the pursuit of the good.
