How to Work with Jesus | Boundaries: Work
Now that we’ve established Sabbath as the boundary of all boundaries, what do we do with the other six days?
Whether your work is paid or unpaid, at home or in an office, creative or "normal"—you have work to do. But for many of us, the "daily grind" has become a source of burnout, identity crisis, or idolatry. In this episode, we look at why work isn't a consequence of the Fall, but a beautiful part of God’s original design from the garden.
We discuss how to manage the tension of work being both "good" and "exhausting," and why our first step toward a healthy rhythm is picking up the yoke of Jesus.
In this episode, we cover:
The Theology of the 9-to-5: Why work matters and how it reflects God’s character.
Warning Signs: How to tell if you are idolizing your work or finding your identity in your title.
The Burnout Checklist: Identifying the physical and emotional cues that you’ve pushed too hard for too long.
6 Practical Boundaries: From "No Phone Zones" to the power of a simple "no."
Partnering with Christ: What it actually looks like to share a yoke with Jesus in your daily tasks.
You are not holier or more productive if you don't rest; you’re actually less, because you’re burnt out. Boundaries don't just help us survive—they give us gospel intention.
