How to Equip People for the Work They're Called to Do
For most of us, the word "work" mainly equates to compensation. But fundamentally, according to pastor Tom Nelson, work is far more: It's a vital part of being an image bearer of God, and it's not primarily about whether or not it earns monetary compensation. It's about contribution to God's world, contributions that can take paid and unpaid forms. In this episode of The Flourishing Pastor Podcast, Nelson explains how this integral view of work transformed the way he pastors, including a significant pivot in what it looks like to equip people for the work of ministry. It all started with a pastoral confession.
As the conversation unfolds, Nelson talks about the nature and shape of the faith and work movement.
He also describes five consequences of perpetuating a Sunday to Monday gap.
