Colin, Gabs & Friends. It is part of "The Church and the World" series, focusing on "Flourishing in Exile: The Experience of Work" and "The Call to Work".12 God's Journey: The scriptural framing spans from the Garden (Genesis 1–3) to the Garden City (Revelation 21 & 22).3 Definitions of Work: Studs Terkel describes work as a violent experience to the spirit and body, marked by daily humiliations and survival.4 Tim Keller provides a contrasting definition: "Rearranging the raw materials of God's creation to help the world and its people thrive and flourish".5 Resources: Recommended materials include books and podcasts by authors such as Timothy Keller (Every Good Endeavour), John Lennox (Seven Days That Divide the World), Tim Mackie (Exploring My Strange Bible), and John Mark Comer.6 Reflection Points: The document concludes with questions regarding whether work is experienced as a burden or calling, how to work "as for the Lord," identifying one's current "garden season" (seeking, weeding, seeding, or reaping), and exploring how one's work can contribute to a "Garden City" vision of justice, reconciliation, beauty, and flourishing in Cape Town
