It has always been my contention that even in the New Creation we will work. Adam and Eve were put on the earth to work, and God said it was good. Work today however, has become a dirty word. We live lives devoted to saving enough to not work. This podcast is about people who see their work as God's work. It is not always pretty. It is not always easy. It is what God has called us to. At the end of the day all we can do is God's work.
The A Theology of Hustle podcast is a thought-provoking and inspiring show that challenges preconceived notions and convictions. Hosted by Currey Blandford, the podcast explores how our jobs are connected to our calling, a topic that is often overlooked in discussions about faith and work. The variety of guests and topics covered in each episode make for engaging and diverse conversations. The podcast leaves listeners feeling inspired and challenged, with each guest bringing their own unique perspective on how God shows up in everyday life.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the authenticity of both the host and the guests. Currey Blandford and his guests feel real, relatable, and authentic, which adds a personal touch to each episode. The stories shared by the guests demonstrate how God can work through any occupation or circumstance to bring about change and make a difference. The podcast also covers a wide range of topics related to faith and work, including social work, foster care, adoption, theology, and more. This diversity provides listeners with a well-rounded perspective on the intersection of faith and work.
While there are many positive aspects to this podcast, one potential downside is that some episodes may not resonate with every listener. Since the topics covered in the podcast are varied, some episodes may be more relevant or interesting depending on individual interests or experiences. However, this also means that there is something for everyone in terms of content.
In conclusion, The A Theology of Hustle podcast is an inspiring and challenging show that explores the connection between our jobs and our calling. With its diverse range of guests and thought-provoking conversations, it offers valuable insights into how God can use our everyday occupations as avenues for ministry. Listeners will leave each episode feeling encouraged to live out their faith in their work and inspired to make a difference in their own unique way. Whether you're looking for practical advice or spiritual guidance in your work life, this podcast is a must-listen.
