Hey friend welcome to the mere Christians podcast I'm Jordan Rayner. How does the

gospel influence the work of mere Christians?

Those of us who aren't pastors or religious professionals,

but who work as furniture makers,

electrical engineers and nannies.

That's the question we explore every week,

and today I'm posing it to Jen Wilkin,

who is on a very, very, very short list of writers,

who I will read every single thing they ever publish.

Jen and I sat down to talk about what she envisions her work looking like on the

New Earth. How the quote unquote dangerous light inside of you

makes every Christian's work sacred and why it's so significant that you and I will

be trampling on gold for all of eternity.

Friend, do not miss this great episode with my friend Jen Wilk. Jen welcome back to the mere Christians podcast thank you for having me on

yeah man we were talking for a long time before we started recording.

One thing I didn't get to tell you, I don't know if you go through these seasons, but I go through seasons where I feel like I'm in a dry spell in my time in the word, and when on there there I love switching up my Bible study habits and I will

frequently pick up one of your studies during those dry spells and God invariably uses your studies to help me fall back in love

with this word but more importantly fall back in love with him what does that for you do you

get dry spells and if so what gets you out of it?

Well, first of all, thank you. That's super encouraging to hear. I would say that I don't feel like dry spells, this may just be because I'm teaching all the time but I don't feel like I've had a

dry spell in a while I will have dry spells around like my feelings you know it'll be like

why am I not really feeling it yeah yeah, yeah, that's what I mean.
