The Gospel Works Podcast

Work is not a curse or a cross that we must bear. It is God's good gift, even when it feels disconnected from our faith. Are you just getting by at work? Are you trying to follow Jesus but don't know how? Have you searched your Bible in vain for references to "meetings", "salary scale", "evaluation", or "hostile environment"? Is work only spoken about in vague generalities at your church, and is money only mentioned when it is requested? If so, then this podcast is for you. Work is part of God's plan for the transformation and redemption of the world, and we, and our world, are the poorer if we ignore it. The Gospel Works is a podcast for workers who try to follow Jesus. Scripture speaks about work broadly—schoolwork, housework, volunteer work, professional labor, and ministry alike—and we take that breadth seriously. We discuss how the Bible applies to real work issues with regular people. Thoughtful conversations, in-depth looks at the Word of God, and more than a few jokes. Join

  24 Resting for People who Work

  Jun 23, 20261h 13mS1

  We have talked a lot about work on this podcast, but we want to end season 1 by reminding ourselves that work is not an absolute good. Rest and peace are also a biblically mandated and good part of God's creation. Much of the theology of rest comes from people without many constraints on their professional time or energy: monks, pastors, and professors. In this episode, we try to discuss rest in a way that speaks to emergency room doctors, overwhelmed parents, and other folks that have a LOT going on.

  23 Interview with Michael Carrico, Lawyer

  Jun 16, 20261h 10mS1

  In the episode, we talk about one of the most maligned jobs in our society: the lawyer. Boo! HISS! We are joined by Michael Carrico, who is not only a great guy, nature lover, and cyclist, but also a long-time lawyer specializing in special education and employment law in New Mexico. We talk about the journey from electrical engineering to law school, and how it has impacted Mike's life and clients. We end with a great discussion about the theological ramifications of the mandate to seek reparations for your client which must be held in tension with the very real benefits of forgiveness and reconciliation.

This book has been foundational to our understanding of work in the kingdom, and we explore topics such as the idolatry of work, confronting corruption, and the necessity of living the faith in the workplace.

  21 When Expertise Isn't Enough

  Jun 2, 20261h 7mS1

  <p>Experts may be much better in their area of expertise than non-experts, but they still fail consistently under certain conditions: time pressure, stress, tiredness, and distraction. Expertise, no matter how deep, is not enough. In this episode, we talk about how expertise intersects with the limitations of the human mind, and how the wise person manages those limitations. On the way, we talk about advances in surgery practice, the development of the B-17 bomber, AI, bible study, and how it all relates the gospel to our work.</p>

  20 Experts Use Bigger Blocks

  May 26, 20261 hourS1

  <p>Experts have been shown to perform significantly better at tasks in their area of expertise than non-experts. Not exactly a shocking finding. It is surprising to learn that they don't perform much better at all on the same tasks when the tests are non representative of real life situations, i.e., when they are randomized. In this episode, we talk about the chunking theory of expertise, the world of blindfolded chess, AI, the book of Job, and how all that relates the gospel to our work.</p>
