Who Are You Without Your Job?

Описание: Summary
In this episode of the Faith and Work podcast, Ross Chapman and Brian Gray explore the complex relationship between identity and work from a Christian perspective. They discuss how societal pressures often lead individuals to derive their sense of worth from their professional accomplishments, contrasting this with the biblical view that identity is rooted in being in Christ. The conversation delves into the implications of this understanding for personal fulfillment, burnout, and the nature of work itself, emphasizing the importance of recognizing work as a good thing but not the ultimate source of identity.
