Promotion at Work Part 2: Is Promotion Earned or Given?

Have you ever wondered whether promotion is something you earn—or something God simply gives?

In this second episode of the Promotion at Work series, host Sean Gibson unpacks one of the most confusing questions believers face when career advancement feels unfair, delayed, or entirely out of their control.

Sean explores what Scripture actually teaches about God’s role in promotion and why faithfulness—not favoritism, politics, or performance—is the real foundation of elevation in the Kingdom. Through biblical insight, practical wisdom, and real-life examples from both workplace and ministry settings, this episode will help you understand how God’s sovereignty and your stewardship work together in the promotion process—and why no person, system, or circumstance can block what God has already appointed.

If you’ve ever struggled with being overlooked or questioned why others are elevated ahead of you, this conversation will provide you with clarity, confidence, and a fresh perspective on God’s timing and His way of promoting His people.

The Envy Trap Part 5: Indicators You Have Workplace Envy

Envy is one of those things that can hide in plain sight, especially in your work life.

In this episode of The Greater Work, Sean Gibson unpacks seven subtle signs that envy may be at work in your heart—and how to confront it before it takes root.

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.
