Ep 2003: Don’t Quit Your Day Job

Thinking about quitting your job to go into full-time ministry? DON’T! You’re already a full-time missionary right where you are! As Executive Director of t-factor at Coca-Cola Consolidated, Mark Whitacre has witnessed firsthand the impact that this truth can have on business leaders across the country. Actually, Mark has a fascinating story that’s even been made into a movie (learn more in his previous iWork4Him interview).

t-factor ministers to Christian leaders, inspiring them to bring Jesus into their workplaces and improve culture. For reference, Coca-Cola Consolidated is America’s largest bottling company and is determined to “honor God in all [they] do.” Mark helps to orchestrate t-factor Summits that encourage Christian CEOs and the like to transform the marketplace – and it’s effective! 68% of business leaders who attend t-factor events implement at least one t-factor takeaway within 90 days.

Richard Williams is one of those leaders whose life and business was changed by a t-factor Summit. He was shown how to make God a big deal at his company, Lineage, and has since been able to support his employees through chaplaincy and grow Lineage through a thriving workplace culture. As Richard mentions: “don’t have sloppy agape!” Instead, invest in employees, coworkers, and clients just like Jesus poured into so many in the marketplace.

You could be an attendee at one of the upcoming t-factor events, but it’s invitation only! For an invite, reach out to Jim at Jim@iWork4Him.com to connect you with Mark.
