Work, Hustle, and Holy Tension

In this episode, Dhati and Missie dive into one of the biggest shifts shaping the modern workforce: the gig economy. From serious side hustles to remote flexibility to “I need this job to fund my real dream,” more and more people are redefining what work is — including in ministry spaces.

But with that comes new tensions:

• How do pastors and ministry leaders steward limited resources when staff have multiple jobs?

• What are the ethical boundaries when someone wants flexibility… but not necessarily accountability?

• How do we lead well in an era where 1 in 2 workers will be gig workers within five years?

• And what does Scripture say about work, worship, rest, and motivation?

 

Missie brings the real-world ethics. Dhati brings the pastoral tension. Together, they ask the honest questions most leaders are afraid to voice.

This conversation is for:

• pastors

• urban missionaries

• ministry leaders

• young adults navigating calling

• anyone juggling multiple jobs while trying to be faithful

If you’ve ever felt the tension between calling, capacity, and hustle culture — this episode brings clarity, conviction, and grace.
