Well, a time when so many are out of work, there is certainly a heightened awareness of just how important our jobs are…how critical our income is. But, today we are asking an important question…”Is Your Job Destroying Your Family?”
You are listening to “Behind the Mike: Conversations of Hope” and I’m Mike Stone. Thank you so much for joining us!
And yes, that’s a serious question. “Is your job destroying your family?” Well, we know how important jobs are. We need to pay the bills. We often find fulfillment in our jobs too. We want the best for our family, and without our jobs, we cannot meet those needs.
But in filling those needs, could you actually be neglecting your family?
Often times we hear friends who have just gone through a divorce say something like, “Wow, I thought I was providing for my family, but I was never around…I was never there. I thought my hard work was giving them what they needed, but now I see that they really just wanted more of me.”
I’ve invited a friend of mine, Pastor Chris Baney from CedarCreek Church, to join me today to talk about this important topic. Chris and I both have experienced the challenge of finding the solution to the tension between our jobs and our families.
We have some stories and examples to share, and although we don’t have a magic fix to this dilemma, I hope that Chris’ insights will help you avoid the pain and regret that can come from avoidable mistakes.
Our hope is that you can sit down with your spouse and together listen to this Conversation of Hope with Pastor Chris Baney from Behind the Mike.
