Colossians 3:23 says, “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,” – but do we really live like we believe that all work matters to the church? Matt Rusten will help us see what a faithful life at work looks like. Be encouraged to represent Christ while doing your daily work when you join us for Equipped with Chris Brooks.
