Repurposing Business

Jesus set a new benchmark in being others-oriented, selfless, focussed outward. Conventional wisdom says you should hustle to take care of yourself; kingdom wisdom says lose it and you gain it. Why should our work be outward focused?

The work of God is transformational. A nothing becomes a something, a void becomes a planet, the unformed takes form as he works for good. How can our work transform for good? How can I work to transform?

One of my favorite words in Hebrew is "vav" -- it means AND. In this episode we explore the integration of the material and the mystical in our work.

We assume that God's work is high quality, of course, but why do we so often see a "Junk for Jesus" mentality when it comes to the work of Christians? How can we work with quality?

Talented people face the challenge of having many options of what to do. Those with ADD (or normal work distractions) can be similarly challenged. It can therefore be tough to simply "do the first things first." This episode discusses this principle.

This season is a set of daily podcasts to discover how God works and how we can work like Him in 31 ways. Work is not just being redefined and rediscovered (think: the Great Resignation)... it is under attack. Yet we have an awesome opportunity to recapture the essence of work IF we learn to work like God, then help others to discover this delight.

This is Day 2 and the principle of getting happy before we get stuck into our work. The joy of the Lord is our strength. Working from a place of rest prevents fatigue and burnout.

Day 1 of 31 Ways: precede putting pen to paper with an active invitation to the Holy Spirit. This is not to ask him to bless your work but a recognition that he is inviting you into what he is doing. So begins a Divine-man collaboration.
