Moving to a New Home

After just over a year of not writing, I’m back at it, but under a new name.

I’d love for you to join me and subscribe to my new newsletter, titled Wholehearted Work.

A few things to know:

• It carries forward a very similar theme as the Young Professional Trap

• It is meant to challenge you (and me) in our thinking about work

• But this time, I’m writing from an explicitly faith forward POV

If you’ve followed the YPT and faith is not a part of your journey, this will definitely carry some more weighty faith topics, but I also hope for it to be digestible for the everyday reader who may still gain value from thinking about the purpose and value of work.

If you do follow Jesus, then my great hope is that this newsletter meets you where you are, and helps you experience wholehearted work for your good and God’s glory.

Please subscribe by clicking here and submitting your email. My first episode drops on this coming Monday at 6:30AM.

I couldn’t be more grateful for you following last year for the YPT journey, and I can’t wait to hear what you think about this new evolution of what God’s put on my heart to write.

With Hope and Gratitude,

Alex

Here is a little excerpt from the first article to give you a taste of what’s coming…

But here's what I didn’t say in my original YPT article, character isn't something we decide our way into. We can manage behavior. We can perform discipline for a season. What we cannot do is reach into our own chest and change what we love.

That's a heart problem, and Scripture has more to say about the heart than almost anything else in its pages. Use of the word “heart” appears roughly 4x more often than "faith" itself. Why? Because "out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks" (Luke 6:45). Our actions aren't the source. They're the evidence.

Here's the aha that reframed everything for me: if our real first job is what God does inside us, then our first job is actually God's job.
