Connecting Our Faith and Work

Episode 4 ~ Problems with Work Part 1: Work Becomes Fruitless & Frustrating

October 8, 2023 Speaker: The Rev. Justin C. Hare Series: Connecting Our Faith and Work

Passage: Genesis 3:1–3:22

This week Justin begins to look at why work doesn't seem to go the way it should. He examines Genesis 3 and the curse of sin upon work, specifically in how it makes work fruitless and frustrating. There is a tension that we face in work between God's dignified call to work and the fallen reality of the fruitlessness of our work. This tension, rightly understood, helps us to avoid both cynicism and idealism when it comes to our work.
