Kosti, stress is part of the human experience.

No way.

Living in a fallen world.

No way.

I don't believe it.

From external to internal, we all have unique pressure points that we deal with.

But how are we to think and view those pressure points, stress, biblically?

Okay.

First, I will agree with you.

Work, stress.

Life, stress.

Stress is part of life.

Part of life.

Get to feel the strain.

Amen.

I would encourage somebody, if they were going through this,

in a few ways.

I jotted some key principles here.

Remember who you actually work for.

So if you're going to deal with work stress,

you've got to get to the root of why you work,

what you work for.

For a Christian, Colossians 3.23, my favorite passage.

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart,

or some translations, do your work heartily as working for the Lord, not for man.

So first of all, I'm going to acknowledge work stress,

but then I'm going to remember who do I work for?

Who's my actual employer?

Who's the boss of my life?

God.

In that, I want to take the temperature of a few things.

The three H's.

We've talked about this before.

I want to take the temperature of my heart.

I want to take the temperature of my home.

And I want to take a temperature read on my head.

And what I mean by that is clarity.

Are you getting foggy brained?

Are you losing perspective?

That's connected to the heart,

but it's also connected to the head.

Sometimes you just got to get out of your head

and go play a round of golf or go on a walk or go hike.

Or for you, go to like an escape room,

your favorite thing to do.

Problem solving, putting puzzles together.

Come on.

Okay.

My wife is a puzzle person.

Her and the kids, like a few of our kids,

they just love puzzles.

And then, you know, me and some of the other kids,

we want to just go like chop wood or break stuff.

Like everyone has, I got to go be active.

And those are different.

My wife loves hiking.

I mean, walks.

You can do that any day.

You don't need a vacation to do some of these things.

But it'll take a temperature of your head,

your heart, and your home.

In that, also another helpful thing, trade anxiety for prayer.

I think sometimes we internalize the stress and we just get really anxious,

heart palpitations, and we just start getting in our head.

And then we have a heart issue and we got a home issue and all,

you know, literal people feel like the powers of hell are coming upon them.

So when I say all hell breaking loose,

I mean, literally, like, you just feel like I'm under demonic attack here.

Like, this is crazy.

Bible says, trade anxiety for prayer.

You know the passage, Philippians 4, verses 6 and 7.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything,

with thanksgiving in our hearts,

we make our requests known to God through prayer and supplication.

That's what we do.

What do we get in exchange for that?

We trade our anxiety for peace.

It's the peace that surpasses all comprehension.

The Bible says it will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

So we're going to pray.

I think a lot of people,

they carry the stress internally,

and they don't turn to prayer.

You may eat it, you medicate it,

you drink it, you do all sorts of things,

but you don't pray to deal with it.

People need to pray.

Another one, work hard, but just rest in the sovereignty of God.

I used to have a pastor friend,

you know him really well,

he used to say, work like it depends on you,

pray like it depends on God.

And his idea was, you know,

get after it, but, you know, trust the Lord.

In that, I would say, work hard.

Sometimes work stress is related to very real issues.

I've got to provide.

I've got to execute.

I got a boss.

100

I got people that depend on me.

101

And I do think there's kind of a dueling track here.

102

We have a generation, I'll just talk about men for now.

103

We have a generation of men that have been bubble wrapped,

104

coddled, and we've had delayed adolescence.

105

And by the way, I speak as one who was in that.

106

You know, I was getting into my mid twenties after college.

107

I'm still playing video games with a headset on yelling at some kid in Australia on call of duty.

108

And you know, it's like grow up,

109

cost to be a man, get a job.

110

I go into marriage and Christine's got a man boy on her hands for two years.

111

And it's like, okay, this kid needs to figure it out.

112

So in that I needed,

113

I didn't need to be coddled.

114

I need to be called out.

115

So there's that issue at the same time.

116

There's this element of like, yeah, life is hard.

117

And there is a lot of pressure and not every man needs to be told,

118

like quit sitting around waiting for somebody to coddle you.

119

Cause you're bubble wrapped man boy and you played.

120

That's not what every man needs to hear.

121

Some men need to be reminded,

122

listen, yeah, I know the pressure is high.

123

I know you're under the gun.

124

I know you're feeling the weight of being the provider,

125

the protector, the go-getter, the guide,

126

the shepherd of the home.

127

Work hard, my brother, but then rest in the sovereignty of God.

128

He is the one who's in control.

129

Think of Proverbs 16, verse 3,

130

commit your works to the Lord.

131

What does that look like?

132

Give it to Him.

133

Lay it at His feet.

134

Trust Him with the outcome.

135

The work is your part and mine.

136

The results, they're His.

137

Now, practically, I think you could probably speak to this as well.

138

I jotted down a few notes about how to put legs to this.

139

What I gave you is the theological framework.

140

But what do we do?

141

You're a pastor.

142

I'm a pastor.

143

We're dear friends.

144

We've been running together for well over a decade,

145

and we've been through some tough times.

146

You've seen me under stress and pressure.

147

I've seen you under stress and pressure up close.

148

And we deal with a staff,

149

we have people, organizations, all that.

150

I think it's important for us to think through a few practical things here.

151

Number one, if you're experiencing a lot of work stress,

152

talk to your boss or your team.

153

Lean on each other.

154

We're a team.

155

That's right.

156

Lock arms.

157

There's times I've needed to come to you, talk with our elders.

158

At times you come to me,

159

we go to each other,

160

we talk as a team.

161

And that alleviates two things.

162

One, you're going to get support.

163

And when you go to people who really love you and you work with people who love you,

164

you're going to get support.

165

Or two, and I've had this happen to me,

166

it was early on, I went to my boss and complained and was looking to be coddled.

167

And what I got told is like, oh, I'm sorry.

168

You know, I didn't realize,

169

you know, this is where we're at,

170

but now let me speak to it.

171

Life is hard.

172

You have deadlines.

173

this is normal work pressure go get it done this isn't like you can't keep getting extensions

174

you got to get this done that's what we're paying you to do

175

and you're like oh ouchie you know yeah

176

and my my college coach used to use that illustration

177

and it applies in ministry

178

and in life he said what you need for the most

179

part is teammates not friends friends are gonna now i know

180

what he's speaking from a kind of a team perspective college baseball

181

but he would say teammates are going to tell you the truth,

182

even though they're hard, because it's going to motivate you to get your work done.

183

Friends are going to leave you in the same position.

184

You may feel better, but they're not pushing you in the right ways,

185

in the good ways, the truthful ways sometimes.

186

I would say that that's a great illustration.

187

On a team, that's the idea.

188

That's right.

189

I actually, as you were talking,

190

I'm like, oh, faithful are the wounds of a friend,

191

deceitful are the kisses of an enemy.

192

The idea is you know, coddling friends.

193

People are like, oh, it's okay, bro.

194

It's okay.

195

That's usually the definition on a team.

196

Usually it's like, he's my friend.

197

Being a good teammate though,

198

is saying, hey brother, actually.

199

That's right.

200

I'm going to wound you.

201

I need to shoot you straight.

202

That's right.

203

I had a buddy one time.

204

A story just came to mind as you were talking.

205

I was playing first base and the pitcher kept picking off over and I dropped the ball like twice.

206

Second baseman looks over at me and I'll never forget it.

207

He's like, catch the ball.

208

like at me, like very aggressive.

209

And I was just like,

210

you know, back at him, something like that.

211

Pitcher picks over a few more times.

212

I caught every one of them.

213

And afterwards he came up to me and,

214

and buddy JT, never forget it.

215

And he was, he ends up being,

216

he's a coach, like pretty high level coach,

217

even now I'm coaching D one, great guy.

218

And he comes over and he's like, Hey, relax.

219

I was like, well, why you got to come at me like that?

220

He's like, you didn't drop any more balls.

221

Did you?

222

And I was like, he was like, come on, big guy.

223

I needed to get kind of called out a bit.

224

So sometimes you apply that to work stress,

225

teammates, friendships, all of those relationships and you realize,

226

you know what you need in your life?

227

People to tell you what you need to hear,

228

not always what you want to hear.

229

It doesn't mean we won't minister to people,

230

but it does mean that sometimes you need to hear like,

231

hey, a job's a job.

232

Get it done.

233

Catch the ball.

234

Show up.

235

Another one, take a vacation.

236

This is not an anti-rest rant right now.

237

Yes, yes.

238

You and I, we do this.

239

We go hard in seasons, and it's normal.

240

It's like, yeah.

241

And the home is aligned, our wives, our kids.

242

We're getting after it.

243

And then we rest hard.

244

And you got to know your patterns.

245

As a person, I would say that.

246

I know mine.

247

I know when I'm due for,

248

I need some mountain air.

249

I know when I need to go for a hike.

250

I know when I need,

251

you know, 18 holes on a golf course.

252

You know when you need to breathe in the ocean air of California.

253

That's right.

254

I know when I need a home-cooked meal.

255

I know when I need a date night, an extra date night.

256

We date anyway.

257

And sometimes, you know, your daddy just needs a walk.

258

I know when I just need to go to a Diamondbacks game or go,

259

we need to know our rhythms and those things can cost money.

260

Those things can be free.

261

It's not about having money.

262

It's about knowing yourself and your patterns.

263

So if you're experiencing a lot of work stress,

264

take a vacation, relax and come back ready to rock.

265

Another one, get counseling, get counseling.

266

If you have anxiety linked to work,

267

you might have deeper issues.

268

Past just, you know, get it done,

269

and work's not causing it,

270

but work's a symptom of something deeper in your heart.

271

And then finally, after all that, shift fields.

272

If you are experiencing constant stress,

273

a lack of joy, and we know that you've been dealt with,

274

you're not the issue, and we know that you're resting,

275

and we know that you've got a good work ethic,

276

but you're just downright unhappy,

277

and you see work as worship,

278

and you're like, I'm just going to do it, Lord.

279

Maybe it's time then for you to think,

280

you know what, this pressure,

281

I'm a square peg in a round hole,

282

and I should shift career fields.

283

But you know what you're always called to be?

284

A godly worker who's worshiping Christ,

285

no matter what field you're in,

286

trusting Him to align all those things.

287

Does that make sense?

288

Amen.
