Episode 93: Whatever You Do, Do it for the Lord

Got a question about today’s episode or something else you’d like to hear us talk about on the show? Let us know! 

As Christians, God calls us to both live with an eternal perspective and also to approach our everyday responsibilities as work God has called us to do. In this episode, Dot and Cara talk about that tension in the context of 1 and 2 Thessalonians. Dot explains why Paul’s message to the Thessalonian church is so relevant today, and she and Cara explore what it means to do all of our work as if we’re doing it for the Lord.
