They aren’t working in pursuit of something. They are working avoidance of something. For many, especially those without the safety nets of robust support systems of family wealth, that’s the nature of our society.

Luke 9:22-25

Jesus said to his disciples:

“The Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected

by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes,

and be killed and on the third day be raised.”

Then he said to all,

and take up his cross daily and follow me.

For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it,

but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.
