Summary

While almost everybody is working for the weekend, Jordan Raynor has a different perspective. He believes your 9-5 has eternal significance, even if (or especially if) you labor in a “secular” job. His new book, “The Sacredness of Secular Work,” emphasizes the importance of work ethic, understanding the holistic story of scripture, and redeeming the idea of heaven. A leading voice in the faith at work movement, Jordan is a refreshing and brilliant guest who will change the way you think about work from here on out.
