Discover the profound impact of sin on our working lives as we chat with Seth Perry about the complexities of work in a fallen world. Drawing from Genesis 3, we unravel how the curse of sin reshaped work from its original design, introducing challenges like laziness and apathy. With personal stories and reflections, we tackle the intricate dance between personal, cultural, and systemic sin and their effects on our work environments. Explore how shifting cultural definitions of success can skew our relationship with work, and gain insights on how to navigate these persistent issues with wisdom and grace.
Inspired by Paul's counsel, we discuss the balance between combating apathy and avoiding the idolization of work. Through insights from Timothy Keller and the timeless wisdom of Percy Shelley's "Ozymandias," we reflect on the temporary nature of worldly achievements and the eternal significance of serving others. Finally, we journey through the winding paths of career and calling, emphasizing the importance of community support, patience, and trust in God's plan. Drawing inspiration from Oswald Chambers and Brother Lawrence, we celebrate the beauty in excelling at the ordinary as an act of worship. Join us for this enlightening conversation that seeks to redefine the purpose and joy of work amidst its challenges.
