Does your work matter for eternity? We asked this same question a couple of weeks ago. Sadly, most believers don’t think so. Sure, the 1 percent of the time they spend sharing the gospel with their co-workers matters. But most Christians view the other 99 percent of their time as meaning very little in the grand scheme of things. But that’s not how God sees it.



As a follow-up to Steve's interview with Jordan Raynor, we assembled our team to dig deeper into the Sacredness of Secular Work. Join us!
