The Envy Trap Part 4 Envy versus Admiration

Envy isn’t something Scripture gives us room to justify. The Bible makes it clear—envy corrodes the heart (Proverbs 14:30). But what if the very energy behind envy could be redirected into something holy? Instead of letting envy take root, we can cultivate admiration. Admiration fuels growth without the resentment or comparison that makes envy so destructive.

In this episode of The Greater Work Podcast, host Sean Gibson unpacks the difference between envy and admiration in the workplace. Together, we’ll explore why envy tears down while admiration builds up, and how God’s Word calls us to shift our perspective toward a Christlike posture that strengthens both our character and our careers.

The Envy Trap Part 3 Why Some Employers want you to be envious

Is All Envy Sinful?

When most of us hear the word envy in the Bible, it feels like nothing but trouble—and often it is. Malicious envy has split families, derailed teams, and weakened organizations. But here’s the surprising truth: not all envy looks the same. Recent studies reveal two sides: malicious envy, which destroys, and benign envy, which can actually motivate growth.

In this episode of The Greater Work Podcast, Sean unpacks these two forms of envy, explores how scripture speaks into the tension, and challenges us to run our race with focus and endurance in Christ.

When Your Career Feels Like The Wilderness Part 5 Provision in the Desert

Much like your career might feel right now.

When Your Career Feels Like The Wilderness Part 4 Wilderness and Faith Witness in Your Place of Work

In Part 4 of When Your Career Feels Like the Wilderness, Sean Gibson explores how our faith becomes a witness in the dry, silent seasons of our professional lives. When promotions stall, doors close, and clarity feels distant, it's not just about what God is doing in you, but what others are seeing through you.

Because your faith in the valley speaks louder than your praise on the mountaintop.

In this episode, Sean unpacks how perseverance, integrity, and quiet trust in God during hardship leave a lasting imprint—not just on our character, but on our coworkers, teams, families, and friends. They're not just watching how we thrive in success; they're watching how we carry hope in the wilderness.

Your response in these seasons doesn't just shape you—it becomes a testimony. Will it shine as a beacon of faith, or fade as a silent warning?

When Your Career Feels Like a Wilderness: Part 3 How does God use Wilderness in our Career

Have you ever asked, “God, what is going on?”
“Why am I here?”
“What did I do wrong?”

You’re not alone. But what if the career wilderness you’re walking through isn’t a setback or punishment—what if it’s preparation?

In this compelling series, host Sean Gibson takes you deep into the purpose of the wilderness—not only through the lens of Scripture but also through the realities of calling, leadership, and vocation. Drawing from the Israelites’ journey from Egypt (a place of oppression) to Canaan (a place of promise), we’ll explore what it means to live in that in-between space: the wilderness, where God stretches, refines, and reshapes us.

God never promised ease, but He does promise purpose.

Join us on The Greater Work Podcast as we uncover how God does His most transformative work in the hardest seasons—and how your wilderness might be the very ground where your next assignment begins.
