There's something very noble about bringing home a paycheck to provide for oneself and one's family. However, there's so much more to work than just a paycheck. This is unfortunately a very common view which I believe accounts in part for the statistic that approximately 70% of people are disengaged at work. Think about the loss of meaning and productivity and the staggering economic implications of that statistic.

Our work is connected to much larger structures and systems that can be influenced and changed to align with God's intention to bring order and fruitfulness into the world.

The Great Commission will not be fulfilled with our spare time or spare money.

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

If you think your work is ultimately about a paycheck, then that will affect the quality of your work as well as the quality of your own life.

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

When we think of our world today with all of its interconnectedness and complexities, the scope of gospel renewal includes systems and structures that are far beyond what we might consider day-to-day.
