Created for Work - A new segment for Pivot Point

RSS Feed It' been a few year since I recorded a podcast. I didn't want to record a new podcast until I felt passionate about what I was taking about again.
I found that passion again, by studying the Theology of Work (http://theologyofwork.org) articles and videos. Through my research and speaking with others who have relied on their faith when job seeking got hard, Created for Work was born.
I hope you this episode give you hope and will help you see how your work - whether you are in the C-Suite, a manager, an accountant, a janitor or work in retail, your work is important to God.
Yours in service,

This is a new segment for Pivot Point, Success
00:00:04.459 --> 00:00:08.439
is a Journey, called Creative for Work. If you've
00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:11.539
listened to Pivot Point before, I want to thank
00:00:11.539 --> 00:00:14.039
you for hanging in there. It's been a couple
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:18.160
years since I recorded a podcast, but mainly
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:20.859
because something's been on my heart recently
00:00:20.859 --> 00:00:24.539
and I wanted to share it. In a world that often
00:00:24.539 --> 00:00:27.420
treats work as just a paycheck or a burden to
00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:30.359
endure, I want you to consider something else.
00:00:30.539 --> 00:00:34.179
God designed work for purpose. In fact, He created
00:00:34.179 --> 00:00:38.359
us for it. From Genesis to Revelation, God created
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:41.960
us after His own image and designed us for work.
00:00:42.939 --> 00:00:45.380
In the beginning of Scripture, we see a God who
00:00:45.380 --> 00:00:50.079
works and creates. Genesis 1 verse 1, Genesis
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:53.939
2 verses 2 through 3, who cultivates and who
00:00:53.939 --> 00:00:56.439
invites us to join Him in good and meaningful
00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:01.710
lebu. Genesis 2 .15. For 25 years, Taylor for
00:01:01.710 --> 00:01:04.370
Success has worked to empower job seekers by
00:01:04.370 --> 00:01:06.689
giving them the resources they need to become
00:01:06.689 --> 00:01:10.189
self -sufficient. However, in today's labor market,
00:01:10.390 --> 00:01:13.870
job seeking is difficult, filled with disappointments,
00:01:14.329 --> 00:01:17.030
unanswered job applications, nerve -wrecking
00:01:17.030 --> 00:01:21.150
interviews, and endless networking. But to succeed
00:01:21.150 --> 00:01:24.549
in finding a job or a new opportunity, know that
00:01:24.549 --> 00:01:27.609
it will take time, and I encourage you to focus
00:01:27.609 --> 00:01:31.299
on your faith, and put your faith in God and
00:01:31.299 --> 00:01:35.519
he will help you to hold on to that hope. Hope
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:38.439
is defined in Webster's Unabridged Dictionary
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.819
as a desire of some good accompanied with an
00:01:42.819 --> 00:01:45.680
expectation of obtaining it or a belief that
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:49.140
it is obtainable. Remember, if you don't get
00:01:49.140 --> 00:01:51.680
the job you've interviewed for, that doesn't
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:54.379
mean you're not qualified. It's not a reflection
00:01:54.379 --> 00:01:57.209
on who you are. Don't give into the negative
00:01:57.209 --> 00:01:59.549
thoughts like I'm not good enough. I will never
00:01:59.549 --> 00:02:02.870
find work that will support my family. I'm a
00:02:02.870 --> 00:02:06.849
failure That's just Satan the father of all lies
00:02:06.849 --> 00:02:09.969
talking I'm yourself with the truth of God's
00:02:09.969 --> 00:02:13.189
Word that God has placed the Holy Spirit in you
00:02:13.189 --> 00:02:16.710
as his child to give you all you need to succeed
00:02:16.710 --> 00:02:21.800
in 2nd Corinthians Chapter 3 verse 5 says, we
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:24.780
are not competent in ourselves to claim anything
00:02:24.780 --> 00:02:27.979
for ourselves, but our competence comes from
00:02:27.979 --> 00:02:31.120
God. Ground yourself in your faith and know that
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:33.819
God has a plan for you. You will then realize
00:02:33.819 --> 00:02:36.520
that even if things are not happening as fast
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:39.699
as you want it, good things will happen in God's
00:02:39.699 --> 00:02:43.060
timing. Hold on to hope and take encouragement
00:02:43.060 --> 00:02:46.139
from the fact that God has created you on purpose,
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:49.319
with a purpose. and that you were created for
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:54.860
work. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation,
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:59.699
be constant in prayer, Romans 12 -12. Thank you

for listening to the new segment of Pivot Point,
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:03.819
