Worth Doing: Fallenness, Finitude, and Work in the Real World

Conversations about faith and work often miss an important truth: limitations are not a problem; they're a key part of what it means to be human. Work has always been part of humanity's purpose, but we’re no longer in the perfect Garden of Eden, nor are we in the future new heavens and new earth. To truly address the challenges of work, we need a new theological perspective.

In Worth Doing, David Buschart and Ryan Tafilowski embrace the realities of limitations, challenging the myths of "You are what you do" and "Do what you love." Instead, they propose a theology of work that affirms the goodness of human limits while addressing the realities of fallenness, offering hope for those who may not find deep fulfillment in their daily jobs.

Buschart and Tafilowski outline a new vision of work that resonates with all workers, recognizing that every job has value, even when it doesn't align with idealized notions of purpose or calling. By embracing this perspective, people can find new ways to approach daily labor, even when it doesn't feel deeply fulfilling.

In Worth Doing, listeners will gain a theology of work that moves beyond only ideas of productivity or calling; learn how to embrace human limitations as part of God's good design; and reflect on the ways work connects to broader questions of purpose and human flourishing.
