Miller talks with Karen Swallow Prior about theological view of work, drawing from Genesis and doctrines like the priesthood of believers. They discuss how work reflects God’s image, how Christ’s redemption reshapes our labor, and how we can find joy in our daily tasks—even in the midst of toil and frustration.Whether you’re struggling to find meaning in your job or wondering how faith intersects with work, this conversation will help you develop a richer, more biblical theology of vocation.Learn More about this Logos Live episode: https://www.logos.com/grow/live-biblical-theology-of-work?utm_campaign=show-logoslive&utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=socialRead the article mentioned in the episode: https://www.logos.com/grow/nook-theology-of-work/?utm_campaign=show-logoslive&utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=socialCheck out the monthly sale: https://www.logos.com/monthly-sale?utm_campaign=show-logoslive&utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=socialEpisode outline:00:00 Introduction to Logos Live00:22 Meet Karen Swallow Pryor00:32 Theology of Work and Vocation02:37 Common Misconceptions About Work05:43 Biblical Theology vs. Secular Ideas10:50 The Protestant Reformation's Impact on Work14:55 The Curse and the Creation Mandate20:56 Reflecting God's Image Through Work26:28 Encouragement for Monotonous Jobs29:34 Understanding Work, Vocation, and Calling31:51 Embracing Ordinary Work36:01 Conclusion and Final Thoughts
