Synopsis: Grasping the dignity and significance of women and work.Women are an integral part in God&’s call to work—to create and advance God&’s kingdom. But work looks different for each one of us. Whether in the home, with children, or in a professional environment—or some combination of all of these—women are cultivating a world of beauty, truth, and hope. But it&’s not easy. We have doubts and dreams … questions and concerns. Chelsea Patterson Sobolik provides a robust theological foundation as she engages with our most pressing questions:How do I glorify the Lord with my work?How do I balance work and life?Is it wrong for me to pursue my career ambitions?What does it mean to be a Christian in the workplace?How do I respectfully stand up for myself at work?How do I discern my calling?Work, whether it&’s professional or in other avenues of society, is an act of cultivation that involves developing something or someone to be better. Even if you don&’t receive a paycheck, you&’re still working. Caring for children and homes, volunteering in our communities, leading a Bible study, or caring for aging parents is God-given work.Chelsea faithfully engages with our questions and provides practical rhythms that women can incorporate into their lives to flourish in their work.
