I Cannot Separate My Faith
I’ve been a committed Christian for 13ish years.
But up till now, I’ve kept my faith pretty separate from my career. They’ve lived in two different spaces.
I’d go to work, do whatever I needed to do at work. Then outside of work I’d practice my faith.
This separation has always felt artificial and awkward. If I’m called to lay down my life to Christ, shouldn’t it also impact what I do the majority of my waking hours?
I need to be on mission in more areas of my life, including work.
Work as Mission
My of the goals I’ve made for myself is to lead and encourage Christian men. I know from experience it can be a pretty lonely place.
I probably work with a dozen or so men that follow Christ. (I currently know of 2 others).
Can I not connect them and have us meet up once a month? Twice a month?
I know I need some older guys to speak truth into my life. To help me with parenting and marriage.
Do you think I work with any church elders?
There’s lots of opportunities that I’m overlooking.
I want my faith to be a central part of me, and that means it follows me into the workplace.
