Whether unemployed, currently employed, or in transition, we are continually searching for purpose and meaning within our work - but perhaps we are looking at work all wrong. We discuss the first calling from God to a guy named Adam, the views of work from Christ and Paul, commonly misinterpreted/stand-alone verses without context, and our true "calling."
