We promised a follow-up conversation from Episode 54, and this week on the podcast we deliver! Mark and Andy have another wonderful conversation with our friend, Daniel Im. Daniel is the Senior Associate Pastor at Beulah Alliance Church in Edmonton, Alberta. He is also the author of some great books, including No Silver Bullets, Planting Missional Churches, and the book we talk about in this episode, You Are What You Do: And Six Other Lies About Work, Life, and Love. Daniel co-hosts the IMbetween Podcast with his wife, and the New Churches Q&A Podcast. You will be helped and challenged as you listen to Daniel talk about how the cultural expectations of work have changed, and how we find our true identity in Christ in the gig economy.

Snippets From the Conversation
“It was written out of an observation that work has changed, and the way that we approach work has changed. And it’s all because of the side-hustle.”
“Here’s the thing that ties all of the seven lies together: Is that the gig economy is now saying , ‘I am the path to freedom and flexibility. I am the path to a life of control.’ And that’s why the gig economy has risen so rapidly in the last few years.”
“Because of the gig economy, bivocational and covocational ministry isn’t looked down upon.”
“Our primary calling is to go and make disciples of all nations, regardless of how we get paid.”
“You heard it was said that you are what you do. But I say to you, you are a child of God. You heard it was said that you are what you experience. But I say to you, you are a new creation.”
“How can we just be ok that, and understand that we are not what we do? We are what Jesus has done for us. And that’s enough.”
