In our recent podcast, we had the privilege of discussing the intersection of faith and work with Jordan Raynor, author of The Sacredness of Our Secular Work. Jordan highlights how all vocational work, regardless of the field, is sacred and significant in the eyes of God. He introduces the concept of the ‘Abridged Gospel’, a belief that the gospel is not limited to soul salvation but extends to every aspect of life, including work. According to Jordan, believers are called to passionately pursue excellence in their work fields—an act of worship.

This podcast highlights the idea that faith and work are not separate entities but intertwined aspects of life. Our work is seen as a ‘mission field’, where believers can share their faith, not merely in words but also through their excellent work. Jordan says that the concept of heaven involves an ongoing, enjoyable work without the curses of sin. A lively discussion is also presented on how to wisely navigate faith conversations in a work context. Tune in for a refreshing and enlightening take on how our faith and our day-to-day work are deeply interconnected.
