Kenehi 11:5

As Christians, is it possible to be ambitious in our work and still have our self-worth and identity firmly rooted in Jesus Christ? The world tells us that the point of work is to make a name for ourselves and accumulate fame and fortune. But as we'll see in this 3-day plan, the gospel replaces these improper ambitions with motivations to work to glorify God and serve others.

Walt Disney is one of the greatest entrepreneurs in recent memory. His theme parks, movies, and other creations have brought joy to hundreds of millions of people across the widest array of age, race, and geography. So does it really matter why Disney created? Are motives for our work significant to God? As the Babylonians and others throughout Scripture make clear, to God, our motives matter a great deal.

Stories are how we make sense of the world. They’re also how we make sense of our work. In this plan, I’ll show how Scripture refutes the two most common stories our world tells about the meaning of work, and paint a picture of how God’s master narrative gives us the biggest story for our work and the rest of our lives.

How can the fruit of the spirit win the battle against the sins of my flesh? This four-day reading plan shows the battles of GOODNESS versus apathy, evil, selfish ambition, and impurity. Kristi Krauss uses the fruit of the spirit found in Galatians 5 as a guide to spur us into action to become champions of GOODNESS in our daily lives.
