The Sacred Dimension of Monday Morning
Have you ever dragged yourself to work wondering if what you do actually matters? You're not alone. In a world where 70% of workers feel disconnected from their jobs, we're facing a crisis of meaning that extends far beyond paychecks and promotions. Timothy Keller's "Every Good Endeavor" offers a revolutionary perspective: work isn't just something we do to survive - it's woven into the very fabric of our humanity. This isn't about finding the perfect career or climbing the corporate ladder. It's about discovering that the spreadsheet you're formatting, the floor you're mopping, or the code you're writing carries profound significance when viewed through the right lens. What if your daily work - yes, even that mundane task you're avoiding - is actually part of something much larger than yourself? What if the ancient wisdom of faith traditions could transform not just Sunday mornings, but Monday through Friday as well?
