The Work As Worship Podcast | For Christian Women Pursuing Their Calling

Each morning you face a tension: You're longing to know that your work has a lasting purpose, and yet your to-do list is filled with mundane tasks that don't seem to matter. Even the big, exciting projects eventually fall flat. The book of Ecclesiastes makes us face the reality that our lives are fleeting, and yet, God dignifies and meets us in that place of smallness, bringing meaning and purpose to our unimpressive lives.

The new year is the perfect time to consider this life-changing message of Ecclesiastes, and learn to work wholeheartedly knowing you you have nothing to prove and everything to enjoy through Him.

Make sure you listen to these amazing sermons from Ray Ortlund! Ray Ortlund's Ecclesiastes Sermons

Join Rachel as she explores the doctrine of vocation, looking at how our work actually *intrinsically* matters to God, and also how our belief in God changes how we work. Going back to the story of creation, we find rich takeaways that can actually change your Tuesday morning.

Do you view your limits as fundamentally positive or negative? In this episode, Rachel discusses the beauty and blessing of the things in our life that keep us human, and how we can learn to embrace those things specifically as female entrepreneurs. You won't want to miss this important conversation as Rachel dives into some of the lessons she's learning from A Spacious Life by Ashley Hales.

There is a reaction to hustle culture that embraces a slow, minimal, relaxing, and rest-filled life. While important and good, is there something slow culture is fundamentally missing? Join Rachel as she shares what she has learned about the nature of true rest.

The order of the gospel is grace first, then work. In this episode, Rachel talks about the two rhythms of grace that have transformed her business life more than anything else. Resources mentioned: Delighting in the Trinity bit.ly/delightinginthetrinity

There are two ways to be an entrepreneur.

The first way is to work from a place of self-reliance and striving. I call that "eating the bread of anxious toil". This was how I went through the first year of business as a new entrepreneur, and it almost burnt me out from being an entrepreneur altogether.

God had to bring me to the end of myself, and realize that there was a different way to do business. A way that abides in Christ, relying on His strength.

If you are tired of the constant striving, this podcast is for you.
