What if the gap between your Sunday worship and your Monday work isn't just about disconnection, it was about missing God's power.


David was talented. He studied architecture, became a lead designer for two major league baseball stadiums, PNC Park in Pittsburgh and Minute Maid Park in Houston. By all measures, he was successful. But for years, he carried a quiet shame. His local church celebrated pastors, missionaries, and parachurch workers as the ones "really serving God." Was David just settling? Was his architecture career somehow less important, less spiritual, less called?


Then David discovered an overlooked Bible passage that changed everything. It was about two craftsmen named Bezalel and Oholiaband a radical truth: the first time the Bible says someone was filled with the Holy Spirit, it wasn't a priest doing priestly duties. It was an architect and craftsperson called to build something.

That moment transformed David's entire understanding of calling, vocation, and what it means to work. He went on to start his own firm, Convergence Design, and for the first time, his architecture became an act of worship.

In this episode, Tom Nelson explores what it truly means to work in the power of the Holy Spirit, not just on Sunday, but in your Monday world. Drawing on Exodus 31:1-7 and Galatians 5:16-25, you'll discover how God calls you, empowers you, and designed you specifically for the work you do.

You'll learn:

-Why being filled with the Holy Spirit applies to your workplace—not just your church
-The difference between workplace competency and workplace adequacy
-How the fruit of the Spirit transforms your attitude, relationships, and work quality
-What it means when the Holy Spirit is your "helper, not your replacer"
-The hidden obstacles that grieve or quench the Spirit in your work
-How to walk in the Spirit and experience seamless, worshipful work
-You were designed with work in mind. You're called to your workplace.

The Holy Spirit is there, ready to empower you with character, wisdom, and gifts so your Monday work becomes an act of worship and contribution to God's kingdom.
