The Identity Theft series speaks to the ways in which our identities have been hacked by culture, including how we view our careers. Guest speaker Dan Litzenberg, a Bible Institute of Seattle (BIOS) faculty member, asked the question, “What is the point of work?” We are products of the Lord’s creativity, yet all too often we forget this and focus on secondary identities like our jobs, and forget how we are called to be life-giving. To hear more about this calling, listen to conversation 5, Careers.
