EPISODE 01
Work & Calling

How Does the Bible View Work? Why You Were Made to Build

Genesis 2:15

Work isn't a consequence of the fall—it's the original assignment. We unpack Genesis 2:15 and why building a business can be an act of worship, faithful stewardship, and joyful obedience to the God who made us to build.
