I encounter many Christians who've been raised in the church but never realized that there's a cohesive storyline from Genesis to Revelation.

One reason why people find applying the Bible to work so difficult is that the world of Scriptures seems so distant from our modern world today. Many established realities we encounter daily, like non-profit and for-profit corporations, did not exist in the ancient world.

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

People not only need a gospel-inspired vision of work, but they need a new vision of the Scriptures.

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.

On the flip side, when we connect our work with a greater sense of purpose and calling beyond the paycheck, we begin to see the kind of flourishing that we were called to create.

One of the fundamental premises of this Bible is that the gospel changes everything. If this is true, how does the gospel change the very thing we spend most of our waking hours doing - work.
