Promotion at Work Part 4: The Temptation of False Promotion

Is Every Career Promotion Really From God—or Could Some Be a Trap?

In this episode of The Greater Work, Sean Gibson continues the series "Promotion at Work." Listen as Sean explores one of the most misunderstood questions in Christian career life: "Is all promotion from God?" It's easy to assume that every open door, opportunity, or advancement is a divine blessing, but Scripture shows us that not all promotion is Holy.

Looking at Matthew 4:8-10, Sean examines the moment when Jesus Himself was offered a promotion—influence, authority, visibility—yet He refused it because it didn't come from the Father. From self-promotion to counterfeit opportunities, the Bible warns us that the enemy can offer advancement that looks good but costs us our integrity, worship, and purpose.

If you've ever wrestled with opportunities, ambition, influence, or the fear of being overlooked, this episode will help you slow down, seek God's voice, and choose promotion that aligns with His purpose—not just your potential.
