We live in a culture that romanticizes escape- the dream of never working again, endless vacations, and a life with no responsibility. It’s sold as freedom, but in reality, it leaves people restless, empty, and constantly searching for the next distraction.

From the very beginning, God designed humanity for work. Not as punishment, but as purpose. Genesis shows us a God who worked, called it good, and then invited us to reflect His image by cultivating and shaping the world He made. Work was never the curse. Toil came with sin, but meaningful work was always part of the blessing.

In this episode of Finish Well, we’ll look at why your daily work still matters deeply to God. You’ll discover that your spreadsheets, your parenting, your building, your teaching, your creating- all of it carries eternal weight when done with faithfulness and integrity.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

Why work is woven into God’s original design for humanity
The difference between toil and purposeful work
How Scripture frames work as both a present calling and an eternal reality
Why all work, not just “spiritual” jobs, can glorify God
Practical ways to reframe your work as worship every single day

Your work is not meaningless. It’s not just a paycheque. It’s one of the clearest ways you reflect the image of God in the world. When you show up with diligence, integrity, and excellence, your work becomes worship.

So tomorrow, wherever you find yourself — in an office, in a classroom, at home with kids, or running your business — remember: Work is not punishment. Work is worship. And when you do it unto the Lord, it becomes part of His eternal story.
