Mis-Loving Work | Get(ting) Out of Work

Work isn't what's broken. We are. And that changes everything about how we show up on Monday.

Tracing the Genesis narrative through the Fall, Noah, and the Noahic covenant, Pastor Jeremy Pace shows that the pain and struggle we experience in work stem from twisted human hearts, not from work itself. Work is our good, not merely a means to good things — it is our specific human contribution to God's ongoing creation and to the common good. The antidote to mis-loving work is Love itself: only when love is put on as our essential nature, not as a feeling or an outcome, can we "work from the soul, as for the Lord."

Questions for Reflection:

What are we missing in our love(lessness) of work?
Where — and from whom — have you witnessed love at work, work from the soul?
