What if the first task God gave mankind wasn’t worship—but work?
In this bold and unfiltered episode of the Elevate Life Podcast, host Eric Spaulding pulls no punches as he calls listeners back to a faith that moves. Following a cultural shift sparked by tragedy and revival, we dive into the spiritual significance of gardens, work, responsibility, and masculinity—from Eden to Gethsemane, from Neo in The Matrix to Universe 25’s failed utopia.
You’ll explore:
✅ Why modern society is starving for purpose
✅ The Biblical mandate for work and discipleship (Genesis 2, Luke 22, Ephesians 2)
✅ How betrayal often wears the mask of comfort
✅ Why young men are leaving secularism for biblical truth
✅ What failed paradise experiments reveal about the soul
✅ The cultural collapse of “comfort over character”
✅ How to reclaim your God-given role as a gardener of the Kingdom
Whether you’re a believer seeking spiritual growth, a skeptic searching for meaning, or a leader looking to disciple others through responsibility and work—this episode is a call to action.
Revival is happening. Are you picking up your hoe, or lounging in the hammock?
