Yes, that Jamaica, the tropical Caribbean island where temperatures never drop below freezing. In 1993, Disney turned the story into a movie, Cool Runnings. (If you haven\u2019t seen this movie, you\u2019re missing one of the great works in American cinema.) It\u2019s a classic inspiring tale of achievement against the odds. At one point in the film, while the team is training for the Olympics, the coach tells them, <strong>\u201cIf you\u2019re not enough without the gold medal, you\u2019ll never be enough with it.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\nJess and I can\u2019t tell you the number of times we\u2019ve seen the truth of this quote play out in the lives of twentysomethings. This is especially true when it comes to the dimension of work. Something about work makes us believe that our worth and identity are wrapped up in our career striving. We think that if we aren\u2019t especially mindful, successful, or of great worth to our employers, we\u2019ll lose. <strong>Work as a gauge of worth is a recipe for disaster.<\/strong> Often the damage is collateral, affecting everyone around us.<br \/>\nIn the context of work, the quote from Cool Runnings could just as easily read, \u201cIf you aren\u2019t enough without the next ___________ &nbsp;(bonus, promotion, award, raise, acknowledgment, corner office, etc), you\u2019ll never be enough with it.\u201d<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-5270 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.navpress.com\/sites\/thedisciplemaker\/wp-content\/uploads\/Meme01_ReadyOrNot_Freedom-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"414\" height=\"414\"><br \/>\nIn our work with twentysomethings, we\u2019ve seen so much angst, striving, fear, anxiety, and loss among those who place all their hopes and dreams in this dimension of work. Most days we find ourselves counseling twentysomethings who have moved to a new city where they know no one, in pursuit of a dream job that failed to meet their expectations in the first six months. We talk to married twentysomethings who have found that <strong>their career passions don\u2019t match the expectations of their spouses that they provide a certain level of financial security.<\/strong> Many moms and dads also feel tension in their relationships. Some want to work outside the home, while their spouses expect them to work inside the home, caring for their kids. Some want to stay home with the kids but have to work outside the home, and some have the option of either working outside the home or staying home with the kids but struggle with what they really want or how to choose.<br \/>\nWe listen to college seniors and graduate students who have finally accomplished what they\u2019ve been striving for\u2014graduation and endless possibilities before them\u2014only to find the number of choices so overwhelming, they feel paralyzed and can\u2019t make any decisions at all.<br \/>\nWe listen to freshmen who fear that if they choose the wrong major, they\u2019ll somehow ruin their entire lives and miss any calling(s) God might have for them.<br \/>\nWe hear all of these disappointments, anxieties, and fears and are reminded of a chorus by Edward Mote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Have you ever been to the ocean while the tide is changing? If you stand at the water\u2019s edge, the undertow can cause you to lose your balance and sweep you into deeper water. As long as the water near shore is shallow, losing your balance may be embarrassing, but it isn\u2019t especially dangerous. <strong>Yet it\u2019s amazing how quickly the lack of a firm foundation can throw you off balance.<\/strong><br \/>\nThe same is true in life. Scripture talks about the difference between the wise man who built his house on the rock, and the foolish man who built his house on the sand (see Matthew 7). One house was firm and solid, designed to withstand the storms and weather. The other was constantly shifting, like the sand at the ocean.<br \/>\nIn many ways, the realities of the global economy today have resulted in a constantly changing workforce. In recent years, statistics have repeatedly indicated that twentysomethings will change careers between three and eight times during their working lives. Add a few job changes into the mix, and that\u2019s a lot of shifting. Building your worth, identity, or all of your hopes and dreams on a foundation that is going to shift that many times in this season of your life is sure to fail. It\u2019s not a solid foundation upon which to build anything!<\/p>\n<p>Now I know that some of you are thinking, That\u2019s great, but I won\u2019t be one of those statistics. I\u2019m going to stay in the same career, industry, or job my whole life. You may be right. But there is no way you can know for sure. To build your identity on a seemingly sure foundation is dangerous. But to build your identity on the rock-solid foundation of Christ and then approach work\u2014whether for two or twenty years\u2014with that foundation at<strong> the center of your life can fundamentally transform your experience with work for the better.<\/strong><br \/>\nDorothy Sayers wrote one of our favorite essays on prayer titled \u201cWhy Work?\u201d We read this essay at least once a year and mention it to our students at least a dozen additional times. In it Sayers explored the meaning and purpose of work and encouraged readers to ask a different set of questions about this dimension of life:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We should ask of an enterprise, not \u201cwill it pay?\u201d but \u201cis it good?\u201d; of a man, not \u201cwhat does he make?\u201d but \u201cwhat is his work worth?\u201d; of goods, not \u201ccan we induce people to buy them?\u201d but \u201care they useful things well made?\u201d; of employment, not \u201chow much a week?\u201d but \u201cwill it exercise my faculties to the utmost?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sayers went on to say that our goal should be to work as well as we can. In other words, strive to do really good work. In serving the work, we\u2019re serving God. The words service and community are used frequently in many Christian contexts, which implies an expectation of serving our communities. Sayers noted, \u201cThere is, in fact, a paradox about working to serve the community, and it is this: that to aim directly at serving the community is to falsify the work; the only way to serve the community is to forget the community and serve the work.\u201d<br \/>\nHow often do you find yourself serving people instead of the work?<strong> Is your highest aim to please people and hear them say, \u201cWell done!\u201d?<\/strong> Or is your highest aim to seek Christ and love your neighbors with no strings attached? When we seek to love God first and love our neighbors second, we start to serve the work that best serves God and our neighbors as we use the gifts and talents God has given us. Throughout the hours, days, weeks, and months of our work, it\u2019s important to ask, \u201cHow can I serve the work before me in a way that demonstrates love for both God and my neighbor?\u201d<a href=\"#_ednref1\" name=\"_edn1\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"#_edn4\" name=\"_ednref4\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"#_ednref1\" name=\"_edn1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>You&#8217;ve been reading with Dr. Drew Moser from <em>Ready Or Not: Leaning into Life in Our Twenties<\/em>.
