Similar to Manly Catholic: Igniting Men to Light the World on Fire
Love God, love people, and change the world. We believe the life and lessons of Jesus aren’t just good advice, but are Good News for us here and now. As a church, we are all about following Jesus and know there’s no end to that journey—we’re more about becoming than arriving. We are committed to becoming a multi-generational, multi-ethnic, multiplying movement of Christ followers, equipping and empowering our kids and students to not only be the church of tomorrow, but the church of today.

Ep 159 - Work as Worship: Turning the Grind Into Glory

Men, are you just clocking in, or are you building the Kingdom of God through your work?
In this powerful second part of our Daily Grind with God series, we confront the real battle most of us fight every day, the temptation to see our jobs as a burden instead of a mission. Whether at a desk, in the trades, on the road, or at home with the kids, your work matters to God.
This is the truth grounded in Scripture and the Catechism. In Colossians 3:23, St. Paul commands us: "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men." When you live this out, even the most mundane spreadsheet becomes an offering. Even changing diapers becomes an altar.
This episode dives into:
- How your job is part of your divine vocation (CCC 2427)
- Why St. Joseph, St. Therese of Lisieux, and St. Josemaría Escrivá are your daily companions in the grind
- How to turn every workday into a prayer through intention, rededication, and excellence
- The real danger of turning work into your god—or treating it like it’s meaningless
- And most importantly, the spiritual challenge I give every man listening: Offer your work this week as a sacrifice for a specific intention
It’s time to stop coasting. Get intentional. Sanctify your labor. You don’t need to change careers—you need to change your heart.
3 POWERFUL QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE:
- “Your desk, your tools, your kitchen—that is your battlefield.”
- “God doesn’t want your sloppy seconds. He wants your best.”
- “Are you working for God, or are you working for yourself?”
KEY TAKEAWAY FOR CATHOLIC MEN:
Start offering your work every single day for a specific intention—your spouse, your kids, your priest, the souls in purgatory. Make your labor a prayer. This is your battlefield. Fight with purpose.
RESOURCES & REFERENCES MENTIONED:
- Catechism of the Catholic Church, Paragraph 2427
- Colossians 3:23
- St. Therese of Lisieux – The Little Way
- St. Josemaría Escrivá – Spirituality of Work
- St. Benedict – Ora et Labora (Pray and Work)
- Book: The Power of Silence by Cardinal Robert Sarah
- Event: Men’s Silent Retreat – June 14, Grand Rapids, MI @ Franciscan Life Center
SHARE THIS EPISODE Men, we are in a war—and most of us are losing the battle in the workplace by treating our job like it’s separate from our faith. Forward this to a brother who’s stuck in a rut, burned out, or tempted to check out. We need soldiers—not spectators.
Please prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our Buy Me A Coffee page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible! Thank you for your prayers and support.
Be sure to follow us on X for more great content.
As always, please pray for us! We are men who strive daily to be holy, to become saints and we cannot do that without the help of the Holy Ghost!
