LNP18 | How to Accelerate a Missional Approach to the Marketplace

Leadership Network Podcast | Episode 18

October 24, 2022

What would it look like if “normal” Christians were to consider that it is God’s plan for them to carry out their missional calling within the marketplace and not in spite of it? Church planters are invited to see the marketplace as a mission field and find ways to address the concerns of people who spend the majority of their day at work. This approach integrates faith and work to reach people who are not coming to traditional churches.


Leadership Podcast Series:
BUSINESS MADE MISSIONAL

Church leaders are struggling to find ways to fund their ministries. With the decline of tithes and offerings, the church is at a crossroads. Unfortunately, due to the overwhelming stress of financial hardship, many churches have been forced to close their doors and many pastors have left the pulpit altogether.

An even greater number of Christians find it hard to connect the mission of God into the marketplace. These everyday Christians who truly love Jesus want to live out the mission of God and see transformation in their workplaces and businesses. However, many feel unequipped, even defeated.

The Business Made Missional series will uncover what leaders are doing to identify various streams of income and lean into the mission of God by envisioning themselves as entrepreneurial missionaries. Every church member, missionary, and leader can do something to see the mission of God fully funded and unleashed.
