About this episode

David Bahnsen discusses the relationship between faith and ambition in the context of work and purpose.

Is your career merely a means to an end, or is it the space where you fulfill your purpose? Chief Investment Officer of The Bahnsen Group and author of Full-Time: Work and the Meaning of Life, David Bahnsen explains the theological connection between worship and work. He describes why "vain ambition" differs from godly excellence and explores what it truly means to live a fruitful, purpose-driven life. Learn more about your ad choices.
