Work Under the Fall with Dr. N. Gray Sutanto (Studies in Faith, Work, and Culture)

What does it mean to work faithfully in a world marked by brokenness? In this episode, Dr. N. Gray Sutanto of Reformed Theological Seminary joins hosts Damein Schitter and Karen Thigpen to discuss his article “Work Under the Fall” from Studies in Faith, Work, and Culture.

Drawing from Scripture and the theological insights of Herman Bavinck, Abraham Kuyper, Al Wolters, Augustine, Turretin, and Calvin, Dr. Sutanto unpacks the dignity of labor, the distortions of sin, and the hope of redemption that transforms our everyday callings.

Dr. Sutanto shares how theology meets the real pressures of modern work—ambition, burnout, productivity, and purpose—and how the gospel gives meaning to even the most ordinary tasks.
