On this episode of the podcast, I talk with David Bahnsen, author of the book Full Time: Work and the Meaning of Life. Bahnsen argues that rather than seeking to “balance” work with life, we should see work as a vital component of life, something be received and offered as a gift for the good of neighbor and the glory of God. Among the topics we discuss:
- Why we operate with a low, transactional view of work
- The effects of the fall on the way we experience work
- The relationship of money and meaning, and of success and significance.
- What it means to say that all honest work is "full time ministry" or "kingdom service"
- The relationship of work to ambition and to rest
- The future of work, especially in light of emerging technologies
