May 17, 2026 - Jesus Centered Work - Dr. Nathan Millican

About this episode

Pastor Nate discusses the sacredness of work and the importance of centering Jesus in all vocations.

Pastor Nate’s message emphasizes that all of life is sacred, rejecting the false division between the secular and the spiritual to argue that God is as present in a spreadsheet as He is in a sermon. Drawing from Ephesians 6, he presents a "theology of work" where believers are called to put Jesus at the center of their vocations, viewing their jobs not as detours from faith but as strategic missionary deployments,,. He outlines that work has inherent dignity and should be used as a kingdom tool to serve others and reflect God's creativity within the framework of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration,,. Ultimately, Nate challenges the congregation to move beyond "show-first performance" and instead leverage their daily labor for eternal impact, honoring Christ through excellence, integrity, and a sincere heart-posture in every task.
