Welcome back to Issues, Etc. I'm Todd Wilkin.

It's part 58 of our series, Kids Have Questions with Pastor Jonathan Conner.

He's Pastor of Zion Lutheran Church in Manning, Iowa, an author of the book, Kids Have Questions.

So let's get his answer to this question. What kind of jobs can I do to honor God? Ah, love this question. Okay, I say,

this is an outstanding question. I'm so glad you're asking it. Remember one of the reasons God gave for work. Now, backstory here,

sermons. All right? So I'm going to go on. So I say, to create order, to bring order and beauty

out of chaos. This is why God gives work. Okay. So again, to create order, to bring order and beauty out of chaos. This is why God gives work.
