Truly integrating your faith and work

We all want to make a Kingdom impact; we all want to transform the world for Christ. And here's the thing: God has placed you right where you are to do exactly that!
In Chapter 20 of iWork4Him, Tracy Matthews, Executive Director of The Call to Work, discusses the gap that often forms between our Sunday morning services and our Monday morning alarms.
She writes,
For some, our jobs can be taxing, stressful, and/or unfulfilling. God has so much to offer us in our daily, hour-by-hour work situations—purpose, wisdom, peace, joy and power—yet many of us don't know how to integrate our faith into what we do every day.
And Tracy points out, although the greatest share of our waking hours are typically spent at work, work is also one of the least talked about topics in the Church. This leaves an already unsure majority even more uncertain about how to bring Jesus out of the sanctuary, out of the home, and into their offices and work sites.
iWork4Him was written with this very problem in mind! Jim and I set out to equip and encourage everyday believers to live integrated and authentic lives so that "whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31)!
