Who's actually helping you get your work done, and are you tapping into help you're missing?

In this episode, Tom Nelson tells the story of Dr Matt Earnest, an interventional cardiologist who, in the middle of high-stakes surgery, relies on far more than his own training. On his 17-minute drive to the hospital for a middle of the night emergency, Matt talks with God, asking for wisdom, clarity and the right words for whatever the moment demands.

Drawing on Genesis, Psalm 121 and Paul's letter to the Corinthians, Tom unpacks the Hebrew word "ezer", helper, and shows how God was never meant to be a distant observer of your work, but an active partner in it.

You'll learn:
-Why God designed us not to work alone, from the very beginning
-How the Psalmist's cry "my help comes from the Lord" applies directly to your Monday
-Three simple practices for inviting God into your workday: remembering, asking and giving thanks
-Why even the most highly trained professionals can't take full credit for their best work

You were never created to be self-sufficient. The Triune God is your most important workplace helper, ready to give you wisdom, strength and steady presence.
