Challenging The Distinction Between Secular And Sacred with Pastor Brad Thomas

Join Pastor Brad Thomas and I for PART 2 of our conversation as we uncover the transformative power of integrating faith with business, challenging the traditional distinction between secular and sacred work. We'll explore how business professionals, by leveraging their unique skills and resources, can significantly impact God's mission globally and locally. Discover the biblical perspective on work, reminding us that God is a worker and calls us to be co-workers in His divine mission.
We dive into the heart of compassionate missionary work, sharing inspiring stories from Pader and India where long-term commitments have led to flourishing communities. Understand why compassion is crucial, especially in regions dominated by other religions, and learn how you can live purposefully and compassionately in every aspect of life. Every place can be a mission field, from your local community to the farthest corners of the world, as we strive to build God's kingdom.
As we address the current state and future challenges of the global and American church, we'll confront the alarming statistics of unreached people groups and the increasing influence of cultural over spiritual engagement. Are American Christians ready for potential persecution? We'll explore themes from James 1, encouraging resilience and growth through trials, and emphasizing the importance of seeking God's presence and wisdom. Concluding with a heartfelt prayer, we invite you to deepen your engagement in God's mission and integrate your faith into every aspect of your life and work.
