Many people view work as either a means to success or a necessary burden. But how should Christians think about work theologically?

In this episode of Logos Live, Kirk E. Miller talks with Karen Swallow Prior about theological view of work, drawing from Genesis and doctrines like the priesthood of believers. They discuss how work reflects God’s image, how Christ’s redemption reshapes our labor, and how we can find joy in our daily tasks—even in the midst of toil and frustration.

Whether you’re struggling to find meaning in your job or wondering how faith intersects with work, this conversation will help you develop a richer, more biblical theology of vocation.
