KS 425 - Work With, Not For: The Divine Partnership

Send us a text

The difference between working "for" God versus working "with" God might seem subtle, but it represents a revolutionary shift for marketplace Christians. Are you experiencing burnout, frustration, and diminishing returns despite your best efforts? The problem might not be your work ethic but your fundamental approach.

Drawing from Proverbs 22:29 and the example of Bezalel in Exodus 31, Tyler shares how God values skilled craftsmanship combined with spiritual partnership. Through vulnerable stories from his college track career, Tyler illustrates how shifting from relentless self-effort to rhythmic partnership with God transformed both his athletic performance and academic success. This wasn't about working less—it was about working differently, with boundaries, intentionality, and trust.

The divine partnership model offers a refreshing alternative to the exhausting cycle of striving that plagues so many professionals. When we invite Holy Spirit into our daily work, release control of outcomes, establish sustainable rhythms, and reframe our definition of success, we experience what Jesus promised in Matthew 11:28-30—an easy yoke and a light burden. The highest form of faith, Tyler suggests, isn't found in feverish activity but in restful trust that God is working through our competency.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, sales professional, or employee seeking greater impact, this message offers practical strategies for moving from frustration to flow. The greatest testament to your faith might not be how hard you work, but how peacefully you partner. Ready to stop apologizing and start winning?
