Are you exhausted by the endless grind culture and the constant pressure to produce? In this deep dive, we explore why your worth is not your work and how modern consumerism and affluenza are spiritually bankrupting us.

We unpack the intersection of the Christian faith, modern ambition, and the modern gig economy. Discover the biblical truth about the theology of work, the dangers of viewing God as a vending machine, and how to cultivate humbition—the powerful blend of humility and ambition. If you've ever felt like your identity is tied directly to your output, this podcast will help free you from the tyranny of the self and reorient you toward a restful gospel culture. Stop "stumping for worthiness" and learn the practical and spiritual necessity of the Sabbath rest.
