Hour 1: Your Work is Meaningful - with Greg Phelan
We know that work is meaningful, but we rarely feel that it is. The goodness of God’s creation means that we can at times experience work as cultivating a fertile garden, like Adam and Eve must have felt in Genesis 2. But as humans living after Genesis 3, we more often feel as if work is toilsome, pointless, and fruitless. Monday on Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, Greg Phelan, writing for the Gospel Coalition says that we often believe Genesis 2 while feeling Genesis 3. So what should we do? To feel what we know to be true, we have to constantly orient ourselves around God’s promises.
Help! I Don't Feel Like My Work Is Meaningful

In the end, will they really matter?

Or what if you were to discover how he intends to use your work to further your own spiritual growth?
