Episode 296: June 07, 2026 - The Work We Are Made For

About this episode

Pastor Jess Strickland challenges listeners to rethink their ambitions and work in light of their faith in Jesus.

The world tells us to strive, compete, and build our own security—but what if instead, we’re called to reorient that ambition towards Jesus? This week in his sermon, The Work We Are Made For , Pastor Jess Strickland challenges us to rethink our workplace by examining the cities we build, the ambitions we pursue, and the work we are made for. As we become lifelong followers of Jesus, our greatest goal is not success, recognition, or achievement— it is becoming more like Jesus and helping others encounter Him through the work we do. Listen here!
