In this episode of Bible at Work, Dr. Shalini Jebasingh explores the Hebrew meanings of "Subdue" (Kabas) and "Rule" (Rada) in Genesis 1:28. Learn how God has given us power and authority to fulfill our responsibilities to serve, care for, and protect while ensuring justice and fairness in the modern workplace.

In this episode, Dr. Shalini Jebasingh explores Genesis 1:28 and asks a simple but important question: Is our world cursed, or has God already filled it with blessing?Many of us live as if God is far from everyday life and work is something we must struggle through on our own. But Genesis 1 shows that from the very beginning, God built blessing, growth, and flourishing into creation itself. Blessing is not an afterthought — it is part of how life was designed to function.This episode helps us see that God is not distant from our work, our relationships, or our daily responsibilities. He is close, sustaining His world, and inviting us to live and work with trust rather than fear of lack.This teaching explores:• What “blessing” means in the creation story• Why God calls creation good and delights in it• How seeing the world as blessed changes the way we work and relate to others• Why rest is an act of trust in God’s care• How generosity and meaning can still emerge even in hardshipDr. Shalini Jebasingh is a trauma-informed Critical Stress Management Coach, Values-Based Organizational Trainer, Biblical Workplace and Leadership Scholar, Developer of the proprietary SCRIBE Framework for Critical Stress Management, Developer of the research-based Love in Leadership Assessment, Founder of Eirene Group, and Founder of Bible at Work.

In this episode, Dr. Shalini Jebasingh examines Job’s wife through a trauma-informed lens, exploring how catastrophic grief, state-based responses, and critical stress can distort behavior without defining character.Job 1–2 records only one sentence from Job’s wife — yet she has often been judged harshly. Through biblical scholarship, trauma psychology, and leadership application, this episode reframes her story with wisdom and compassion.This teaching explores:• The difference between trait and state• How trauma responses (fight, flight, freeze, collapse) affect leadership• How Job corrected speech without shaming identity• How to set boundaries without abandoning compassion• When trauma explains behavior — but does not justify harmThis episode is part of the Bible at Work series, where Scripture meets leadership, identity, and workplace integrity.

Genesis 1 tells us a foundational truth about who we are: human beings are created in the image and likeness of God. This truth shapes how we understand our identity and how we live and work every day.In this video, Dr. Shalini Jebasingh explores what it means to bear God’s image at work. We reflect on how representing God shows up in our leadership and our work relationships, by leading with love, truth, freedom, and care. This teaching is part of the Bible at Work series, where we learn how to live Scripture in everyday work and leadership.

Most people think creativity is for the naturally gifted. But the Bible tells a different story.Genesis 1 shows us that God is a creative God, and He made us in His image. That means you were created to create! Whether it’s a new idea at work, a new process, or simply a better way of doing something, you’re called to reflect your Creator.Need inspiration?

In Genesis 1, we see a Creator who brings order, beauty, and meaning out of nothing. Scripture tells us we are made in God's image. That means God has created you with in-built creative power; it is part of who we are.This video focuses on four themes:1. Decide to create2. Create what is good. 3. Persevere in creating. 4. Create even with limitations.
