    Honor God In The Grind: Christian men on building, identity and consistency in work
    2026/02/10
    Citizen 7 launches the Honor God In The Grind series with a panel discussion on how everyday work becomes a place of spiritual formation, faithfulness and encounter with God. Hosted by Drew Kelley, the conversation focuses on building and creating without letting performance or productivity define identity. Panelists Troy Williard, Dante Cook and Jackson Troxel share personal stories from engineering, entrepreneurship, sales, media and leadership, reflecting on how discipline, consistency and long-term faithfulness shape vocation and character. The discussion explores how seasons of pressure and transition can refine purpose rather than diminish it. The group returns to the idea that work is a primary arena where God forms men through responsibility and service. The session introduces a broader framework for integrating faith and work through four pillars: Create, Grow, Transform and Serve, with this conversation emphasizing Create. The discussion concludes with a call to faithfulness in both visible success and unseen daily effort, encouraging men to see their work as a calling rather than just a job. Books and authors mentioned John Mark Comer - The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry - Practicing the Way Jamie Winship - Living Fearless Jordan Raynor - Called to Create - Redeeming Your Time Ray Vander Laan - Bible teaching series and studies bringing Scripture into historical and cultural context Mark Batterson James Clear - Atomic Habits
