Jordan Raynor unpacks their stories with practical wisdom for Christians seeking purpose in their jobs, rhythms of rest, and eternal perspective.

Fannie Lou Hamer showed how to fight injustice while blessing enemies instead of canceling them.✦ Persevere in Faith
Lego founder Ole Kirk Christiansen trusted God’s presence through trials, not just promises of success.✦ Engage, Don’t Escape
Hannah More’s story reminds us not to retreat from culture but to step into darkness with God’s Word and community.✦ Embrace Your Role in the Great Commission
Like C.S. Lewis, ordinary believers have a powerful role in making disciples in everyday life.✦ Redefine Productivity with Eternity in View
Jordan shares how habits, boundaries, and a theology of the New Earth bring freedom from doing it all now.
Practical Takeaways: Living and Working with Eternal Purpose
- ✦ Anchor your daily rhythm in God’s love—pause often throughout your workday to remember your identity in Christ.
- ✦ Extend love generously to others instead of seeking validation or striving to earn worth.
- ✦ When fighting for justice, pair Jesus’ mission with His methods—pray for and bless your enemies.
- ✦ Resist the urge to retreat from culture; stay rooted in Scripture and Christian community so you can engage the world with courage.
- ✦ See your career as part of God’s kingdom work—discipleship often happens in workplaces, not pulpits.
- ✦ Structure your day intentionally: start with God’s Word, focus deeply on work in short blocks, and set a hard stop to honor rest and family.
- ✦ Keep a “not-to-do” list and trust God with unfinished projects, knowing eternity offers limitless opportunities for creating and serving.
- ✦ Let the hope of the New Earth free you from the pressure of “doing it all” before you die—your work has eternal value in Christ.
