Do faith and work really go hand in hand? Does God really care about what you vocationally do from 9 to 5? Or is the Secular Sacred Divide a Biblical thing that affects what we do vocationally?

Greg and RD set out to prove that while God does care about your volunteer work, how you help the church on Sundays or Wednesdays, and how you tithe your time to ministry work, He also equally cares about your vocation, and all types of work you do, because all types of work bring glory to God.

The idea of work is not something that man invented that God just goes along with; God Himself invented work pre-Fall, by giving Adam and Eve work in the Garden. RD reminds listeners that even in Heaven, we will have some kind of work, even if it's not what we think of work here on earth. One reason for this is because our work - vocational, relational, all of it - directly affects our relationship with God, since everything we do should be giving God glory.

It doesn't matter what type of work we do, it all will give glory to God, just as John Coltrane found out in 1957, RD explains. Before he released his album that year, Coltrane had what he called a "spiritual awakening," where he asked God for the "means and privilege to make others happy through music." Coltrane realized that he didn't have to become a monk or minister to give God glory through his work, he could use the talents God had already given him to lead people to God.

 In a similar story of using your vocation, or whatever is happening around you, for God's glory, Greg shares how Louie Giglio once came to a Fellowship Crossroads events and spoke about Heather Mercer, who was held captive by the Taliban when she was a missionary to Afghanistan. Giglio ended the talk by saying, "How does a Taliban prison guard hear the Gospel unless someone goes there?" Just as Paul sends Onesimus back to Philemon, Mercer was able to use her circumstances for the glory of God.

RD warns that no job is perfect, no matter what vocation you are in. Frustrations or annoyances in a job is completely normal. There is no such thing as a "perfect job" and that is not the point of work, anyways. The point of work, as Greg and RD state throughout the episode, is to bring glory to God.

RD ends the episode by sharing the plot of Leaf By Niggle, a short story by J. R. R. Tolkien. The story symbolizes how we may be frustrated by our work here on earth, or think that it doesn't matter or doesn't contribute to any bigger picture, but God sees our work and it matters to Him, no matter what it is.
