The gospel moves us to see others as people created in God's image and that can have a profound impact on people's productivity and work satisfaction.

Many people functionally share this belief that work has no greater meaning than the paycheck it provides. A natural consequence of this faith commitment is the belief it's okay to do mediocre work so that in your free time you can enjoy your true passions.

When people criticize our work, whether that work is a spreadsheet, a coffee, or our children, we take it very personally as if they were attacking us. This response shows how instead of taking criticism in ways that help us in our work, we become easily defensive and negative.

The gospel changes how we view and work with others in a way that both humanizes our interactions with them and empowers them to work well.

We were created for a purpose and when our underlying assumptions don't reflect this deeper purpose, we begin to whither as human beings.

When we try to find our sense of security, value, worth from our work, we'll find ourselves anxiety-ridden and burdened.

The gospel has brought a new identity in Christ that then allows our work to no longer be the source of our identity but the rightful expression of it.
