Americans will give back to their employers almost a billion days of unused vacation in 2022. Why are we so addicted to productivity, and how can break the cycle? We do we resist the gift of rest and the command to celebrate sabbath?

What if we were as excited about Monday morning as we are about Friday evening? What if our work was so rewarding, meaningful, and fulfilling that we couldn't wait to start the workweek? How can Jesus redeem our relationship with our work?

We are often guilty of constructing an artificial barrier between the sacred and the secular, between what we consider God's work and our every-day vocation. Jeremiah Holthus explores a part of the human job description we need to reclaim: the call to the priesthood for all believers.

Our experience of work involves some mixture of fulfillment and frustration. Our work can be satisfying and meaningful, and at the same time toilsome and draining. Why is work a source of stress, anxiety, and worry, and what can we do about it?

We will spend more than half our lives at work, and we know our jobs can be a mix of frustration and fulfillment. Yet, something is wrong with our theology if we believe God isn't concerned with Monday through Saturday. Every moment matters to God, and God matters to every moment. We want to rethink our understanding of work and worship in light of scripture.

When the writers of scripture taught that "God is Love," they used the Greek word agape. Agape is the choice to seek the well-being of people other than yourself. It is selfless love. This love flows out to others without expecting anything in return. Today we look at a song celebrating this servant-love in Philippians 2.

What do you do when you family isn't what you imagined it would be? How do we strengthen familial relationships and walk in greater amounts of love with our mothers, brothers, sisters, and others? Today we look at Hannah's song and story as we invite God into the center of our families.

The Song of Songs claims to be the ultimate love song. It is a celebration of passionate, deliberate, beautiful, and erotic love shared between two people. The church has historically failed to celebrate the gift of this kind of love, but we are going there today. So, turn the lights down low and join us for church!

This song was composed by David when he learned about the death of his best friend. It is a song of love and loss that celebrates the bonds of friendship. The song invites each of us to ponder: what kind of friend am I to those God has placed in my care?

What happens when the answer isn't to tough it out, suck it up, and try harder? Is there something essential and beautiful about learning to try softer? What role do rest, sabbath, prayer, and surrender have as we face our struggles? Heather Henderson addresses these questions and more.
