Many of us tend to leave God at home when we go to work because we don’t feel comfortable sharing our faith in the secular marketplace.
You may have already overcome many external obstacles to get where you are today. When it comes to following Jesus at work, most obstacles are not external—they’re inside your heart and mind.
In his new book, More Than Your Business Card, business leader Garth Jestley writes about finding your calling in the business world and the reality of God’s perspective about you and what you do. More Than Your Business Card confirms business leadership as a legitimate, meaningful, and profoundly fulfilling way to follow Jesus. When we lead businesses, we are in a position of influence to cultivate the love of Jesus and be the salt and the light of the world.
