Jesus: Your most important work mentor

In this episode, Tom Nelson explores a powerful and often overlooked truth: Jesus is not only your Savior — He is also your wisest and most important work mentor.

Through the surprising reality that Jesus spent most of His life as a carpenter, Tom shows how deeply God values everyday work. Far from being irrelevant to your Monday, Jesus understands your pressures, challenges, and ambitions — and invites you to learn directly from Him.

Drawing on Matthew 11 and the idea of apprenticeship, you’ll discover what it means to be “yoked” to Jesus in your daily work and how His wisdom can guide you in real, practical ways.

You’ll learn:

- Why Jesus’ work as a carpenter matters for your work today

- How to see Jesus as your mentor, not just your Savior

- What it means to apprentice your life and work to Him

- A simple, practical way to begin learning from Jesus this week

Because you were never meant to navigate your work alone — the greatest mentor in history is inviting you to walk with Him.
