God's Work

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.

What’s the most dangerous thing you can forget at work? In this episode, Tom Nelson explores a deeper kind of forgetfulness — not missed meetings or emails, but forgetting God’s presence in your everyday work. Through the story of Moses and the burning bush, Tom shows how even ordinary workplaces can become holy ground when we recognise that God is already there. The challenge isn’t that God is absent — it’s that we’re often inattentive. You’ll discover: Why forgetting God at work is more serious than you think How your workplace can become a place of encounter with God What “burning bush moments” might look like in everyday life Simple practices to help you stay aware of God’s presence Because your work isn’t just a place you go — it’s a place where God is already at work.

Who is shaping how you work? In this episode, Tom Nelson explores a powerful and often overlooked truth: Jesus is not only your Savior — He is also your wisest and most important work mentor. Through the surprising reality that Jesus spent most of His life as a carpenter, Tom shows how deeply God values everyday work. Far from being irrelevant to your Monday, Jesus understands your pressures, challenges, and ambitions — and invites you to learn directly from Him. Drawing on Matthew 11 and the idea of apprenticeship, you’ll discover what it means to be “yoked” to Jesus in your daily work and how His wisdom can guide you in real, practical ways. You’ll learn: - Why Jesus’ work as a carpenter matters for your work today - How to see Jesus as your mentor, not just your Savior - What it means to apprentice your life and work to Him - A simple, practical way to begin learning from Jesus this week Because you were never meant to navigate your work alone — the greatest mentor in history is inviting you to walk with Him.

What story is shaping how you see your work? In this episode, Tom Nelson explores how the stories we believe influence everything - including our sense of purpose, identity, and meaning at work. For many, there’s a disconnect between Sunday faith and Monday work. But what if a better story could bring it all together? Tom introduces God’s four-chapter story of work - creation, fall, redemption, and restoration - and shows how this powerful biblical framework can transform how you approach your daily work. You’ll discover: - Why you were created to work and what it was meant to be - Why work often feels frustrating, broken, or meaningless - How Jesus redeems not just you, but your work - The future hope of work fully restored This bigger story brings clarity, purpose, and hope — helping you see your work, whatever it is, as part of something far greater. Because when you understand God’s story, you begin to see your work differently.

What does Easter have to do with your Monday at work? In this opening episode, Tom Nelson explores the gap many of us feel between Sunday faith and weekday work. While Easter Sunday fills us with hope, Monday can quickly bring stress, frustration, and a sense that our work doesn’t really matter. But what if the resurrection changes more than just our future - what if it transforms how we see our work today? Drawing on 1 Corinthians 15:58, Tom unpacks how the reality of the risen Jesus speaks directly into the meaning, struggle, and purpose of our daily work - whether in an office, a home, or anywhere in between. You’ll discover: - Why your work is not “in vain,” even when it feels like it is - How the resurrection reshapes your view of purpose and calling - What it means to approach your work with hope, confidence, and faith Because the good news of Easter Sunday is also good news for Easter Monday.
