Are your congregants' jobs a distraction from their discipleship, or one of the main places it actually happens? Matt Rusten, president of Made to Flourish and editor-in-chief of Common Good Magazine, joins Markus to explore the theology of work and what it looks like for pastors and churches to help their people see their everyday jobs as spiritually significant.
This Episode's Highlights Include:
Why the Bible introduces God as a maker before it describes him as holy or merciful
What it means that every person in your pews has a "sphere of dominion" in their work
How work forms your congregation over time, and how it can quietly deform them
Why Jesus used work as the backdrop for most of his parables
Why John the Baptist sent tax collectors and soldiers back into their same jobs
Practical ways your church can help people connect faith and work: small groups, "This Time Tomorrow" interviews, and pastoral workplace visits
