Summary

Do you ever wonder, "Is my job really that important?” In Christian circles, it can be easy to see value in full-time vocational ministry, but what about in “secular” jobs? Lisa welcomes Jordan Raynor, podcast host and author of The Sacredness of Secular Work, to discuss these questions and much more. Listen in to this fast-paced and energetic conversation as Jordan shares four reasons why your work matters (regardless of your vocation choice!), and how you can approach your job with fresh purpose, knowing each day brings an opportunity to make a difference for eternity.
