On the Hook David L. Bahnsen

David goes through countless sermons and lectures from his late father, renowned 20th century theologian and philosopher, Dr. Greg Bahnsen, to look at his theology of work, rest, and productivity. What he finds is prescient, prophetic, and powerful. And the model David’s dad set for him was, well, full-time!

Kuyperian thought says “Christ is Lord over white collar professional work,” right? Those of us who believe in a total world-and-life view of Christianity believe that Christ is Lord over white collar work, blue collar work, and even … CREATIVE work. And what better way to talk about work in the creative sector than with Rev. Joel Pelsue, founder with his wife, Michelle, of Arts & Entertainment Ministries. A sober, broad, and fun discussion of the arts, of artists, and of the both practical and ideological components of this discussion most particular to creatives.

David is joined by two of his best pals, who also happen to be two of the smartest Christian thinkers out there, on the whole landscape today of evangelical thought and practice around work. They pontificate on why Proverbs was so focused on those working too little, and avoided any focus on those working too much. They wax and wane about how it got to be this bad, and what we can do to make it good again.

Developing a criteria by which we think about work, about career decisions, about the harmonization of work with other responsibilities and commitments, requires a standard. By what standard does one think about vocational calling, ethical duties, the inherent dignity of a given task or function? For that matter, by what standard does one think about the marketplace, societal spheres of activity, and basic economic structure? The faith/work movement needed to exist before it could be good, but now that it exists it is time to start asking – by what standard is the faith/work movement thinking about faith and work? David is joined by Pastor Douglas Wilson of Moscow, Idaho to explore all this, and so much more.
