Being Human Podcast | Purpose Beyond Productivity

Being Human Podcast | Purpose Beyond Productivity

As part of our Being Human series, we're releasing conversations that explore faith, work, technology, and what it means to flourish as people created in God's image. In this episode, David Stockton, Anthony Kennada, and Press Reader explore how our culture shapes the way we think about work, success, and purpose. Together they reflect on productivity, ambition, rest, and technology, asking how a biblical vision of humanity can free us to find our identity in Christ rather than in what we accomplish.

God Knows Our Needs

God knows what we need long before we ask, and because of that, we are free to live with trust instead of anxiety. Jesus invites us to see ourselves through the eyes of a loving Father who values His children far more than the birds of the air or the lilies of the field. While our world constantly pulls our hearts toward worry, materialism, and self reliance, the kingdom of God offers a different way. As we seek first His kingdom, practice gratitude, generosity, and faithful obedience, we learn to rest in the confidence that God is both willing and able to provide for the life He has called us to live. The invitation is not to ignore tomorrow, but to entrust it to the One who already holds it.

Being Human Podcast | Created to Create

Artificial intelligence is changing how we create, but it cannot replace what God uniquely designed humanity to be. In this episode, David Stockton, Anthony Kennada, and Ryan Romeo explore creativity, craftsmanship, and the purpose of human work, considering how Christians can embrace new technology without losing the distinctly human calling to create in the image of God.

Fully Accepted

Zacchaeus' story reminds us that beneath every pursuit of success, security, or approval is a deeper longing to be fully known and fully accepted. While the world teaches us to earn our worth through achievement, Jesus meets us with grace before we've proven anything. His acceptance is not a reward for repentance but the very thing that makes transformation possible. As we receive the love of Christ, we are freed from hiding behind our accomplishments or our failures and invited into a new way of being human, one marked by humble dependence on God and the same generous grace extended to others.
