Posted by jonathan on Wednesday, July 22, 2026 · Leave a Comment

Why does work, which has genuine dignity, so often go wrong?

This module begins with common experiences of work as fruitless, pointless, or self-serving, then examines the deeper problem: the human tendency to ask work to provide what only God can give. From there, the module develops a creation-grounded account of work. We will consider what it means to be made in God’s image, to receive responsibility in the world, and to work from a secure identity rather than for one.
