Most Christians think work is part of the curse.
David Bahnsen says that’s one of the biggest theological mistakes the Church has made.
In this fascinating episode of The City of God, Dr. Rob Pacienza sits down with nationally recognized investor, economist, and bestselling author David Bahnsen for a biblical conversation about work, economics, artificial intelligence, and why every Christian needs a Genesis 1 vision of vocation—not a Genesis 3 one.
Drawing from Scripture, economics, and decades of experience in the marketplace, Bahnsen argues that work existed before sin entered the world because God Himself is a worker. Rather than viewing our jobs as something to simply endure until heaven, Christians should see their daily work as part of God’s original design for human flourishing.
You’ll hear about:
● Why work is part of God’s good creation—not the result of the Fall
● How the sacred-secular divide has harmed the Church’s understanding of vocation
● A biblical perspective on AI, technology, and innovation
● Why free enterprise better reflects God’s design than socialism or central planning
● How faith should shape the way Christians think about economics, investing, and the marketplace
● Why every vocation—from stay-at-home moms to plumbers to CEOs—has eternal significance
Whether you’re a business owner, teacher, student, investor, parent, or simply wondering how your faith connects to Monday morning, this conversation offers a refreshing biblical vision of work as worship and service.
