A Theology of Hustle

Religion EN ↓ 215 episodes

It has always been my contention that even in the New Creation we will work. Adam and Eve were put on the earth to work, and God said it was good. Work today however, has become a dirty word. We live lives devoted to saving enough to not work. This podcast is about people who see their work as God's work. It is not always pretty. It is not always easy. It is what God has called us to. At the end of the day all we can do is God's work.
