Episode Notes:
What if your current work situation, even in it's most difficult moments, is the very place your Father wants to meet you?
In part two, Jay Heck and Rich Pantusa explore how ordinary work can become a place of purpose, joy, and connection with God. From Jay’s years in the mining industry to Jesus’ hidden years of physical labor, our work invites us to bring our frustrations and questions to the Father—and discover how He is shaping us and bringing goodness into the world through our daily assignments.
