Boss Yabizanye kicks off our series on work by asking a simple but uncomfortable question: what is work actually for?

A small correction in the episode I called it episode 3 at the beginning of the show, when in actuality it is episode 4, enjoy!

Drawing from Colossians 3:23, we explore the idea that work was one of humanity’s first responsibilities and perhaps one of its earliest forms of worship. Together, we examine how modern culture has shaped our relationship with work: from turning careers into identities, to the growing emphasis on balance, boundaries, and flexibility.

Have we made achievement an idol? Or have we become so focused on protecting ourselves from work that we’ve lost something valuable about commitment, resilience, and mastery?

We also dive into the place of Sabbath in today’s world. Is rest still an act of resistance, a spiritual discipline, and a practical necessity? Or does the changing nature of work require us to rethink what rest looks like?

Drawing from years of leadership experience, my guest shares observations on the different philosophies of work emerging across generations, particularly what Gen Z is challenging, what previous generations may have overlooked, and what each generation can learn from the others.

This is a conversation about purpose, responsibility, ambition, rest, and the deeper meaning behind the work we do every day.
