Thrive in the Decline with Pastor Josh Cougle

The Other Six Days - Week 2

Work Under the Curse. Before sin, work was joyful partnership with God. One act of disobedience cursed the ground, turning labor into thorns, sweat, and struggle. Yet work remains good and purposeful. Discover why it fights back—and how Christ will one day lift the curse.

The Other Six Days - Week 1

In week 1, we explore how work was God’s good gift in Paradise—before sin ever cursed it. From Genesis 2, we see God forming us, placing us with purpose, and calling us to cultivate and protect His creation as an act of worship.
