Work used to be how we made a living. Now, for many, it’s become what we live for. We introduce ourselves by our job titles, measure our worth by our productivity, and often find our identity in what we do. But was work ever meant to carry that weight? In this episode, we explore the origins of work, long before the Fall, work was a gift from God, not a curse. So when did it become a god? We examine the rise of “workism,” the subtle idolatry of turning a means into an end, and what Scripture says about finding our ultimate satisfaction not in what we do, but in whose we are. If you’ve ever felt the pressure to perform, defined yourself by your career, or struggled to rest because work never feels done, this conversation is for you. Discover how to work not for identity, but from identity, and how even your labor can become an act of worship.
