🎙️ Episode Summary
In this episode of CLF Conversations, Perry and Dave discuss how work is more than a paycheck—it’s participation in God’s redemptive mission. When we understand that we’re created in God’s image, we see that vocation isn’t just what we do; it’s how we reflect our Creator.
From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture paints a picture of a working God who invites His people to join Him in cultivating creation, loving others, and advancing His glory through everyday faithfulness. This episode will help you rethink the purpose of your work, rediscover joy in daily tasks, and see your 9-to-5 as an act of worship.
