There are over 150 million people in the workforce today, 36% of them identifying themselves as born again believers which means there are 55 million believers at work. If research is accurate 3.3 million believers now connect their faith and their work. That leaves almost 52 Million believers who have yet to be activated in all areas of their faith life. 52 million Jesus followers who think like I did that in order to be in ministry they need to quit their job and work for a church or a Christian nonprofit ministry. How can we activate these fully funded missionaries? How can we take advantage of the church being extricated from its buildings because of Coronavirus? How can we, the church, bring healing to our broken land? Tonight we will tell you a bit of our story, a bit of the lay of the land in the faith and work movement and finally some practical tactical, factual and biblical perspectives on how to activate the 55 million Christ Followers who go to work every day and the 30 million of them who are retired. There might be some things we say tonight that offend your traditions and challenge your thinking but know this, our hearts are bound in Jesus. Forgive our boldness if it helps mobilize a nation of workplace believers to recognize the call on their lives so they can say iWork4Him.

It’s no secret, there are millions of Christ Followers out there in the workforce and hundreds of thousands are running, leading or owning businesses, so where do they go to get discipled on how to live out their faith at work? Truth At Work was founded to disciple Christian Businesses owners and leaders. You can check them out online at www.TruthatWork.org. A few years back, Truth at work was looking for a great leader to launch their discipleship ministry in Tampa Bay and Mark Graham responded to the call. Mark is here with several of his group members to share what God is doing in their businesses as they learn to connect their faith to every aspect of their company.

Many times over the last 8 years we have talked about hearing from God on the steps we should take in our work or in our businesses but how does that work? Since we have an Unfair Advantage, access to the Holy Spirit of God who has access to the blueprints of heaven, how do we use that advantage to move our business in a direction that glorifies God and blesses our community? We don’t know all the answers but we have access to one business man from Austin Texas who has been pursuing the Lord in his Businesses over the last 4 decades. I have asked him to share his insights on how we discern the voice of God in our work/Business.

Tony told us a story of a patient that he tended to during his early years in medicine, during his surgical residency. The patient didn’t seem to have ordinary medical problems and God told Tony it wasn’t ordinary. He prayed about it and God eventually showed Tony and his wife the answer to the patients issues. Tony encourages us to be in the Word of God so we know His truth. Begin with the ordinary, so the extraordinary becomes more normal. Faith is spelled RISK – we get better at it the more risks we take. Tony reminded us that “His sheep hear His voice,” we are His sheep and we need to discern what He has to say.

I don’t think there is a question that our public servants often get the least amount of public appreciation. Today we are going to talk about public school teachers. Teachers often get paid okay but their work environments can be tough. Being an educator means dealing with Administrators, School Board members, Parents and the least of their trouble – the kids. In today’s public school environment can you even be a Christian? It seems like there is a large outcry about people sharing their Christian faith in schools. Martha and I are here today to let you know that there are lots of Christian educators and we are going to hear from one today. Craig Olsen and I grew up in the same youth group 35 years ago. We lost touch after Martha and I got married and moved away. A couple of years ago we connected on Facebook and recently we actually had a conversation on Zoom. Craig has a great story to tell about how God is using him in his position in the public-school system in MN.

We’ve heard about army invasions between countries. Invasions of insects on our picnics, even invasions on our privacy on the internet, but what happens when God invades your business?  Does it mean automatic success? Does it mean p & l’s in the black and a big Lexus in the driveway?  What happens when God reveals to you that He wants to be involved in your work life, even running your business. Kim Avery experienced just that about 5 years ago. God invaded her business, and she has never been the same again. Author of The Prayer Powered Entrepreneur and Co-host of the Professional Christian Coaching today. She’s got a story to tell, and we are here to capture it for you.
