The purpose of man is to bring glory to God through work that was designed as a gift to enjoy, not a burden resulting from the fall.
• God created men as image bearers out of an overflow of His love for Himself, not because He was lonely or needed us
• After the resurrection, our purpose is fulfilled through the Great Commission and Great Commandment
• Adam was created in the wilderness, not in the garden, perhaps explaining why men come alive in outdoor adventures
• Work was God's first gift to Adam in the garden - to cultivate and keep it (the cultural mandate)
• There is no sacred-secular divide in God's view of work - all vocations can glorify Him
• Men are designed to work, not just seek fun or follow passion
• "Men are like flatbed trucks - they drive straighter with a heavy load"
• We are called to rearrange created things for human flourishing as part of kingdom advancement
Thank you for listening to today's episode. If you want to help equip other men for the fight, share this podcast around and leave us a five-star rating and review.
