Ever feel like life is just one endless sink of dishes or pile of laundry? In today’s episode, we’ll see how Brother Lawrence discovered God’s presence in the ordinary—and how you can, too.

Does it feel like your life is just one repetitive task after another—like the sink never stays empty, the laundry never stays folded, or the inbox never clears? What if those small, everyday moments could actually become sacred?

In this episode, we’ll look at the life of Brother Lawrence, a 17th-century monastery cook who discovered that even the most ordinary chores could be acts of worship. His story reminds us that whatever you do—even washing dishes—can be done for the Lord.

Scripture:

Colossians 3:23 – “Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord…”

Key Takeaways:

• God’s presence isn’t limited to church services or quiet time—it can be found in ordinary, repetitive tasks.
• When we shift our perspective, chores become opportunities to love and serve God.
• Practicing gratitude in the small things helps us see life as holy ground.
• “Whatever you do” really does mean everything—from emails to dishes to diapers.

So the next time you stand at a full sink, remember: that sink can become sacred space.
