Who is shaping how you see your work?
In this episode, Tom Nelson explores a powerful and often overlooked truth: God is not only to be worshipped — He is the original and ultimate worker.
Through the opening chapter of Book of Genesis, Tom reveals how God intentionally introduces Himself not first as ruler or judge, but as Creator—actively bringing order, beauty, and life into existence. This foundational truth reshapes how we understand our own work, showing that everyday tasks are deeply connected to God’s design and purpose.
Drawing on Genesis 1:25–28 and the reality of being made in God’s image, you’ll discover how your work is meant to reflect His creative goodness and loving rule. Even in a world where work is often frustrating or broken, God’s original design still echoes in our desire for meaning, purpose, and satisfaction.
You’ll learn:
-Why God revealing Himself as a worker changes how you view your job
-How being made in God’s image shapes your purpose in work
-What it means to reflect God’s creativity and stewardship in everyday tasks
-A simple, practical way to reimagine your work this week
Because your work is not accidental or insignificant — it is part of a greater story, shaped by the God who works and invites you to join Him.
