S3:E1 - Counting Backwards - a podcast by Missio Dei Community – SLC

The People’s Theology is a show exploring theology and culture. In each episode, we explore a question, theme, or topic in dialogue with our faith. Today that question is, “how do we count?” Maybe that sounds weird, but we all have a way of “counting” especially when it comes to success. We believe, as Chris Hughes noted, that the hustle is holy and that hard work should lead to more and higher. That’s the underwriting narrative of the American story; Zuckerberg and Facebook, Apple and even Enron. And like with those examples, sometimes we love it the result and sometimes we hate it but for some reason, we rarely ask was the “direction right?” Is the Hustle virtuous? Is 10 always greater than 1?  Why do we count that way? And more importantly, is it good?
