Imagine finally getting the recognition you've been working for—someone you admire says "nothing will be impossible for you"—and in the next breath, they take away the very thing that made you successful. That's exactly what happened at the Tower of Babel. But here's what most people miss: God wasn't against their success. He was against their "why." And that distinction changes everything about how we chase our dreams today.

• The confusing moment when God compliments humanity then scatters them
• Why God cared more about their motivation than their achievement
• The four words that revealed the fatal flaw: "make a name for ourselves"
• What the Tower of Babel teaches us about ambition, unity, and misplaced focus
• How to check if your goals are building your name or pointing to God's

"God did not care that they were successful at building or working together. God's why in taking away this ability was found in their heart—they wanted to make a name for themselves."

What if the most boring chapter in Genesis holds the secret to transforming how you feel about Monday mornings? A unexpected name in a genealogy list—yes, the same Nimrod from Bugs Bunny cartoons—reveals something most of us miss about our daily grind. It's not about finding your dream job or doing what you love. It's about who's watching while you work. And that changes everything.

• The cartoon insult that accidentally preserved a biblical truth about excellence
• Why working "before the LORD" isn't about being religious at work—it's something deeper
• What happens when you stop seeing your job as just a paycheck
• The question that could turn your least favorite workday into something you never expected
• A morning habit that puts your 9-5 in completely different hands

"What if you chose to do this job 'before the LORD'? Work to be the living definition of your job so that God receives all the glory in what we do."
