One of the passions of my life is to work with Christ follower’s in the workplace to help them discover and live out a calling, rather than merely settle for a career. After all, a career is something we choose, but a calling chooses us through the providence of God! And that makes all the difference.

I was fortunate recently to speak to buisness leaders in 4 very significant cities through a wonderful ministry called Lifework Leadership. I asked them some survey questions and the results were interesting.

63% said if they were around church as a teen or college student they recall at the
most one message dealing with God’s calling and placing His people to be On Mission
in the workplace.

24% said they were not sure they had sensed any call by God to the particular
vocation they were currently pursuing (almost one in four)

Yet the good news was that 73% felt as though their pastor was improving in understanding the stresses and pressures, as well as the opprotunities, of the work place. That is important if Billy Graham’s prediction in correct. He believes that the next great movement of God may well come through the Christ followers in the work place.

What do you think?
