Image Bearers: Why You Were Made to Rule, Create & Reflect God
Why do you feel drawn to build, make, or create something bigger than yourself? Turns out that instinct isn't random — it's rooted in the opening chapters of Genesis.📖 Pre-order Jonny Ardavanis's new book Get to Work: Seeing Your Daily Grind as God’s Good Gift here: https://a.co/d/04k0sFpoIn this episode, we continue our series exploring the biblical theology of work (pulled from Jonny's forthcoming book, "Get to Work") by digging into Genesis 1 and 2. We unpack what it means that humanity is made in God's image, what the Hebrew words "radah" (rule) and "kabash" (subdue) actually mean, and why God — who could have created a "finished" universe — instead invited us into the ongoing work of cultivating, building, and creating beauty.We also talk about Bezalel, the little-known craftsman in Exodus 31 who was the first person in Scripture described as "filled with the Spirit of God" — not for preaching, but for his artistry. Plus: why beauty isn't just decoration but a reflection of who God is, how "ordinary" work like folding laundry or fixing pipes can be done to the glory of God, and why your job (whatever it is) matters more than you think.📖 Scripture referenced: Genesis 1:1, 1:26-28, 2:2-9, Exodus 31, Psalm 145:16, Psalm 147:13✉️ Sign up for free weekly newsletter devotionals at www.dialinministries.org🙏 This episode is brought to you by The Master's University — committed to Jesus Christ and the authority and sufficiency of His Word.

Has 'Sabbath Culture' Gone Too Far? A Biblical Theology of Work
Is work a curse from the Fall — or something far more sacred? In this episode, we kick off a brand-new series on the theology of work, exploring what Scripture actually says about labor, calling, and vocation — starting not with us, but with God Himself.📖 Pre-order Jonny Ardavanis's new book Get to Work: Seeing Your Daily Grind as God’s Good Gift here: https://a.co/d/04k0sFpoWe dig into Genesis 1 to see God revealed as Creator, Artist, Sustainer, and Worker long before Adam and Eve ever showed up. We look at Jesus's own life — including His 20+ years as a tekton (carpenter/builder) — and unpack why the Gospel of Mark uses the word "immediately" 41 times to describe His ministry. If we're made in the image of a working God, what does that mean for how we view our own 9-to-5, our calling, and our sense of purpose?Along the way we talk about:✅ The Biblical theology of work vs. the "curse" mentality✅ Genesis 1 and God as Creator, Sustainer, and Artist✅ Jesus as a carpenter and what His "immediacy" reveals about work✅ Why Christians talk more about rest & Sabbath than a theology of work✅ Labor force participation, burnout, and finding balance✅ Work as worship — from CEOs to stay-at-home parents to busboysThis is Part 1 of a multi-part series diving into a comprehensive, Scripture-grounded view of work — setting up themes from the upcoming book "Get to Work."
