Whether you've made an idol of work or find yourself being idle at work, this book helps reminds us that whom you work for is infinitely more important than what you do.

The Gospel at Work Zusammenfassung

The Gospel at Work: How the Gospel Gives New Purpose and Meaning to Our Jobs Sebastian Traeger

Reclaim God's vision for your life.

Many Christians fall victim to one of two main problems when it comes to work: either they are idle in their work, or they have made an idol of it. Both of these mindsets are deadly misunderstandings of how God intends for us to think about our employment.

In The Gospel at Work, Sebastian Traeger and Greg Gilbert unpack the powerful ways in which the gospel can transform how we do what we do, releasing us from the cultural pressures of both an all-consuming devotion and a punch-in, punch-out mentality - in order to find the freedom of a work ethic rooted in serving Christ.

You'll find answers to some of the tough questions that Christians in the workplace often ask:

  • What factors should matter most in choosing a job?
  • What gospel principles should shape my thinking about how to treat my boss, my co-workers, and my employees?
  • Is full-time Christian work more valuable than my job?
  • Is it okay to be motivated by money?
  • How do you prioritize - or balance - work, family and church responsibilities?

Solidly grounded in the gospel, The Gospel at Work confronts both our idleness at work and our idolatry of work with a challenge of its own - to remember that whom we work for is infinitely more important than what we do.

The Gospel at Work Bewertungen

I read every word of The Gospel at Work and loved it. I want to make this a basic staple in my discipling and get lots of copies. This provocative and practical book asks and answers the right questions in the right way. It will even help you know how to better pray---privately and publicly. Two of my favorite people have now produced one of my favorite books. * MARK DEVER, pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington, DC, and president of 9Marks *
Chock-full of insights and tips, The Gospel at Work is a helpful contribution to the vital recovery of the place of faith at work. * OS GUINNESS, author of The Call *

An easy, instructional, and edifying read. * BOB DOLL, chief equity strategist at Nuveen Asset Management *
The best advice I could give anyone is to read The Gospel at Work. It's more than a book about finding purpose and meaning in our jobs; it's a book about how to have success in life.

If you want to be successful in life and really enjoy the work you do, embrace the principles found here. This book is filled with countless gems of wisdom! * GLORIA S. NELUND, chairman and CEO of TriLinc Global *

Now, along come Sebastian Traeger and Greg Gilbert to provide Christians with clear arguments and a solid biblical foundation for rightly understanding our work and why it matters to God. The Gospel at Work will assist Christians in connecting the dots between work and the kingdom of Christ. For that reason, we should thank these colaborers for their good work in this important book. * DR. R. ALBERT MOHLER JR., president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary *
The ideas in The Gospel at Work are not a theory for the authors but the reality in which they live. One writes as a businessman, the other as a pastor. Both wrestle faithfully with what the Bible teaches about our work, showing us the exciting possibilities when we see our world through God's eyes. * J.D. GREEAR, PhD, pastor of Summit Church, Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, and author of Stop Asking Jesus into Your Heart *
God made you and me to work. He gave us work as a means to love one another. Sebastian Traeger and Greg Gilbert help us see this blessed vision of work and apply it in everyday life.

You work for the King, and that changes everything! That is the basic argument for this much-needed, superbly written work on work.

AKIN, president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary *

After finishing it, I looked up and said to my wife, Every Christian should read this book. * JONATHAN LEEMAN, editorial director of 9Marks and author of The Church and the Surprising Offense of God's Love *
Everyone knows that work is both necessary and hard. But what about its meaning? Some think of work as merely a distraction from ministry; others, as a necessary evil to provide for higher ends; others still, a place where ultimate purpose and identity can be found. In The Gospel at Work, you will find two careful and experienced guides---brothers whose wisdom and teaching I deeply respect---who know not only the right questions to ask but also where to find the life-giving answers. * JUSTIN TAYLOR, executive vice president and publisher at Crossway and coauthor of The Final Days of Jesus *
The Gospel at Work is a book by practitioners for practitioners. The combined business and pastoral perspectives of the authors make this a real how to narrative. Clearly defining our purposes for working while answering many of our key questions about our careers, Sebastian Traeger and Greg Gilbert point us to a freedom that can only be provided by Christ. * LOU GIULIANO, former chairman, CEO, and president of ITT Industries and cofounder of Workforce Ministries *
This extraordinarily useful book will be of huge value to many Christians as they think about their work. The Gospel at Work is rooted in thorough and faithful biblical understanding and full of practical application. I recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone who wants to consider seriously how God might use them in and through their work. * WILLIAM TAYLOR, rector of St Helen's Bishopsgate, London, England *
I loved this book! Sebastian Traeger and Greg Gilbert do a great job of exploring the why, the how, the what, and, most importantly, the for whom of work. I'm thankful for the emphasis on the role of faithfulness. With this perspective, I'm more freed up to be able to get rest in work rather than having to get rest from it. * HENRY KAESTNER, managing principal at Sovereign's Capital and executive chairman at Bandwidth.com *
Work is about discipleship and worship. Sebastian Traeger and Greg Gilbert understand this crucial aspect to a biblical understanding of work. In The Gospel at Work, they provide a timely blend of theory and practice. Their instruction is constantly aimed at seeing the gospel fleshed out in business offices, construction sites, restaurants, or wherever else readers are employed. The questions this book tackles prove that the authors are in touch with the common yet difficult questions that Christians wrestle with. Their answers are spot-on and will help bear spiritual fruit in the marketplace. * DAN DUMAS, CEO of Red Buffalo and teaching pastor and elder at Crossing Church, Louisville, Kentucky *

Calling (full chapter) What does the Bible say about our 'calling' when it comes to our jobs? Is it really true that God 'calls' every person to a particular role that is tailor-made to their gifts, abilities, and passions? In some ways, that's a powerful thought. It speaks to God's individual care for us and the fact that he does in fact have a plan for each and every one of us. But does the Bible really use the word 'calling' in that way? Not really. Actually, there are only a few ways the Bible uses the idea and concept of 'calling,' and none of them really matches that idea. To make matters worse, a mistaken idea of 'calling' can actually leave us uniquely vulnerable to both idolatry and idleness in our jobs. Think about it: If you believe God has called you to a certain role or job--and that's not what you're doing right now--it's easy to begin to think that you can just mail it in until God finally puts you in your 'calling.' Not only so, but you can even begin to idolize a job or role that you don't even have...simply because that (and nothing else!) is your 'calling.' If we're going to talk about calling at all when it comes to our jobs, there's a better way to do it. On the one hand, if it's true that God is sovereign over every detail and even minute of your life, then whatever job he has placed you in right now is the job he has called you to do for this period of your life. On the other hand, any sort of 'calling' must be a combination of three things: desire, ability, and opportunity. Most people think of 'calling' simply as the first of those, desire. If I have a desire to be this or that, the thinking goes, then I have a calling to it. But that's simply not the case. If you have a desire to hold a certain job, but neither the ability nor the opportunity to actually hold it, then you don't have a calling to that job. You have a desire for it, and that's it. So when will you know you have a calling to it? When God actually gives you that job! Maybe better than the idea of 'calling' would be to talk about assignments or deployments that God gives us for various seasons of their lives. If we thought about our jobs that way, maybe we wouldn't spend so much time and energy pining for a 'calling' we imagine God has given us (which actually is just a strong desire we have!), and more time and energy working and serving with excellence in the deployment the King has given us right here and right now! Women (full chapter) Forty-seven percent of the US workforce is made up of women. So often, though, faith and work ministries are geared to men. Some unbiblical extremes cause confusion around this topic, including the seeming divide between working women and women in the home. Sixty seven percent of married women with children work outside of the home. What does the Bible say to affirm the value of women in both contexts? The truth is found in rediscovering where a woman's identity and value come from and how that plays out practically in different assignments. We want to affirm to all reader (men and women): Be who you are. God has made you a man or a woman. Masculinity and femininity are going to look different for different people. In the workplace, look for opportunities to be who God has created you to be---in the job you select and in how you do your job. Missions (appendix) Given Sebastian's role as Executive Vice President of the International Mission Board, the addition of an appendix on the specific application of leveraging a job for the sake of missions is a value add to the book as well as an opportunistic decision. We feel the world trends of globalization and urbanization have flattened the world like never before. When you combine that with the Millennial's desire to explore the world, you have a nearly limitless missions force begin raised up in the church. The difference, however, is that this missions force does not need to leave their jobs, they need to leverage their jobs for the global s
