Are you missing God's calling?
Are you in the wrong job or are you doing the right job in the wrong way? In this episode, Tom Nelson explores a question that haunts many sincere believers: Am I missing God's calling? Through the moving story of Joe who spent nearly four decades believing he'd missed his true calling because he pursued management consulting instead of pastoral ministry, Tom reveals a life-changing insight: you may not be missing God's calling at all. You may be misunderstanding it. Drawing on Luke 3:10–14 and John the Baptist's surprising teaching to tax collectors and soldiers, you'll discover that God's primary call isn't usually to do different work. It's to do your work differently, with integrity, excellence, and love for others. You'll learn: -The difference between God calling you to different work versus calling you to do your work differently. -Why tax collectors and soldiers didn't need to quit their jobs. -How to apply the golden rule and God's ethics to your current workplace. -Why doing "good work well done" is itself a spiritual calling. Your Monday work doesn't become ministry when you change careers. It becomes ministry when you change how you work. Excellence, integrity, respect for others, and faithfulness in your current role is exactly what God is calling you to, right now, right where you are.

Your Monday needs a good Sunday
Why does your Monday work suffer when you skip Sunday Church even if you're "spiritual"? In this episode, Tom Nelson explores a growing disconnect: many people love Jesus but are sceptical of Church. They find God in nature, claim they don't need organised religion, or feel the church has been irrelevant or even hurtful. But Tom reveals a truth that changes everything: your Monday work actually depends on a good Sunday and not in the way you might think. Drawing on Hebrews 10:21–25 and Matthew 16:18–19, you'll discover why the local church isn't a Sunday obligation that takes away from your "real life" it's the gathering place where you're equipped, encouraged, and sent out to do your best work in the world. You'll learn: -Why Christian faith is deeply personal but never meant to be private or individualistic. -How the local church is the "huddle" that prepares you to play the game well on Monday. -The difference between "gathered faith" on Sunday and "scattered faith" throughout the week. -Why the church isn't plan B. It's God's plan A for your flourishing and the world's redemption. Your work won't reach its full potential, and you won't reach yours, trying to go it alone. The local church community is where you belong, not because it's perfect, but because it's where you're equipped, known, loved, and sent back into your calling with purpose, encouragement, and strength.

What makes a workplace toxic?
What's the invisible poison that turns workplaces into war zones even Christian ones? In this episode, Tom Nelson uncovers the hidden toxin destroying workplaces from the inside out. Through a raw conversation with a veteran Christian leader and the Biblical story of Absalom who used his position to manipulate, undermine, and ultimately tear apart King David's leadership. Tom reveals that workplace toxicity isn't about incompetence or poor systems. It's about the human heart. Drawing on James 3:13–17 and the cautionary tale of 2 Samuel 15, you'll discover how jealousy and selfish ambition - or "the Absalom spirit" - unleash chaos and destruction and most importantly, what single quality can transform toxic cultures into thriving ones. You'll learn: -Why jealousy and selfish ambition are the real poison in toxic workplaces and how to spot them in yourself and others. -How to identify the "Absalom spirit" before it destroys relationships and organisations. -The surprising antidote: humility, gentleness, and Christlike character. -Three practical disciplines that neutralise jealousy and build healthier, more collaborative teams. Toxic workplaces aren't fixed by better policies or stronger management. They are transformed when people choose humility over ambition, collaboration over competition, and celebrating others' success over advancing their own.
