What if your Monday job was never just about the money but a calling to help your whole city flourish?

In this episode, Tom Nelson explores what it looks like to pursue the common good through everyday work, opening with the story of Dr. Holly Austin, a paediatrician of more than 30 years who sees every patient as an image-bearer of God.

Drawing on Jeremiah 29:4-7, Proverbs 11:10, and Matthew 5:45b, Tom unpacks God's ancient instructions to his exiled people in Babylon, instructions that speak directly into our own "Babylon" workplaces today.

You'll learn:

-Why God called his exiled people to seek the well-being of the very city that displaced them, and what that means for your workplace.

- As well as three practical shifts: being faithfully present where you are, seeing every colleague as an image-bearer, and extending common grace for the common good.

When you pursue the flourishing of your workplace, your community, and your city, Scripture promises something remarkable: you thrive too.
