The Doctrine of God: Divine Fullness and Work with Dr. Fred Sanders

What does the Trinity have to do with your job? In this conversation, theologian Dr. Fred Sanders joins Damein to explore how a right understanding of God’s own fullness transforms the way Christians approach their daily work.Drawing from his article in Studies in Faith, Work, and Culture, Dr. Sanders shows why any faithful connection between God and our work must begin—not with us drawing analogies upward—but with God’s abundant life overflowing toward us. They discuss the “economy of God” in Ephesians, the relationship between contemplation and action, and why cultivating an interior life with God is essential even in the busiest workplaces.If you’ve ever felt spiritually thin in a packed schedule, or wondered how God’s character shapes your labor, this episode reframes vocation through the lens of divine abundance—inviting you to work not from scarcity, but from the overflowing fullness of God Himself.Read Dr. Sanders' article: https://journal.rts.edu/article/the-doctrine-of-god-divine-fullness-and-work/Doctrine at Work is the companion podcast for the Institute for Faith Work and Culture's annual publication entitled Studies in Faith, Work, and Culture.
