Full-Time Work And The Meaning Of Life | David Bahnsen

Author: Brett Snodgrass & Michael Stansbury July 1, 2024 Duration: 26:18

Why do so many people in our culture today dread work? Many times we think of work as a burden we have to do but really don't want to. Which breeds depression, stress, anxiety and unfulfillment in our lives. This perception of work robs us of true meaning in life, and leaves us very little time to actually enjoy life.


But is work really supposed to be a curse? David Bahnsen doesn't think so. David believes that work is actually a gift and a huge part of our meaning in life. David wrote the book "Full-Time Work And The Meaning Of Life." In this book, David discusses how work is actually meant to enrich our lives and he exposes lies we've believed in many areas where work is concerned. Including how valuable one job is viewed compared to another, and even how the church has wrongly viewed "ministry" work compared to "marketplace" work.


David argues that work isn't supposed to be something dirty. But it's actually supposed to be one of the most important things in life that gives us the deepest purpose and meaning. And we don't have to wait until the last part of our lives to make an impact. Doing work well now, as Christians, can be one of the greatest ministries to the world in this day. Listen as Mike and David talk about Full-Time Work And The Meaning Of Life.
