Many Christians fall into one of two common dangers in the workplace: either they are idle in their work, or they idolize it. Both attitudes completely misinterpret how God wants us to understand our employment.
In The Gospel at Work, Sebastian Traeger and Greg Gilbert break down how the gospel can radically transform the way we work. It frees us from cultural pressures—both from full devotion to work and from a mentality—to finally give us freedom with a work ethic rooted in service to Christ.
In this book, you will find answers to some of the most difficult questions Christians often ask about work:
- What factors should be most important when choosing a job?
- What gospel principles should shape how I treat my boss, my coworkers, and my employees?
- Is full-time Christian work more valuable than my job?
- Is it okay to be motivated by money?
- How do I prioritize or balance work, family, and church responsibilities?
With a single biblical foundation, The Gospel at Work confronts both our idleness and our idolatry of work with the challenge to remember that for whom we work is infinitely more important than what we work on.
