THE JOB TRAP: When is enough, enough?
As Christian workers, there are moments when we feel stuck and stifled. It can be in the workplace with career decisions and poor performance reviews, but it also can be outside of work - in friendships and romance. When these moments hit, we feel there is no way out - we are headlocked. But that is not the end. Often, if left unchecked, these moments accumulate ever so slowly and sinisterly until breaking point. At this time, it’s often too late - it’s become personal and there’s collateral too. The damage of breaking the lock is hefty.
Is there a way to call out these moments early, before it’s too late? When the headlock comes and we feel the squeeze, can we counter the move and shift its own force against itself? How can we outmanoeuvre these moments and so avoid being trapped?
Join us for Headstart Term 3 - HEADLOCKED: outmanoeuvring the moments workers feel trapped, where we see how faith in Jesus releases us from being headlocked and allows us to head out more nimble and mobile than before.
HEADlocked #2: THE JOB TRAP
Our job can ensnare us. While having a job these days is a blessing (hello rates, restructures and redundancies), our jobs can also feel likes a curse. We can feel stifled, strained and stuck. And when this happens, the questions pile on: Should I stay? Should I go? Is it worth it? What about the money? What’s a good reason to go - is biding my time good enough? How long should I put up with this? Do I need to enjoy the job? Will the next job be better?
Come hear how two workers became headlocked but also how faith in Jesus releases us from this and allows us to head out more nimble and mobile than before. And the Headstart spice - this is not just a secular thing. It’s a sacred thing too and we'll have someone in full time paid ministry share as well.
