Get to Work

Learn to avoid both passivity and burnout by discovering God's glorious design for work--and how to labor, rest, and steward your time in ways that glorify God and maximize your joy. The average person will spend 90,000 hours working--a staggering third of their life. For many, these hours feel like a necessary burden, something we have to do. But what if work isn't a punishment to endure, but a privilege to embrace--a divine "get to" rather than a grim "got to"? In a time of contradictory messages about work, hurry, and rest, pastor and author Jonny Ardavanis dives into Scripture to help you see work as a divine calling, guiding you to partner with God and find profound meaning and purpose in your daily work, whether you're a plumber, a CEO, or a stay-at-home mom. Full of powerful insights and rich biblical truth, Get to Work will help you: Discover God's original, pre-fall design for work as a joyful act of creation and cultivation, transforming your perspective on your daily tasks Identify how the fall corrupted work, leading to the twin dangers of soul-crushing workaholism and passive living Learn how to work with enthusiasm, excellence, and integrity--not to earn your identity, but as an act of worship and love for your neighbor Reclaim the lost art of true Sabbath, moving beyond mere escapism to build rhythms of rest and leisure that genuinely refresh your body, mind, and spirit Get to Work isn't just another book about finding work-life balance or boosting productivity. It's an invitation to rediscover what you were made for.
