Most Christians have been taught to see “ministry” as something that happens somewhere else: in a pulpit, in a far-off mission field, inside a nonprofit. But from Genesis to Revelation, God paints a far bigger picture.

The Bible’s first command is not “go to seminary”; it’s be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. That’s not a suggestion. It’s a calling. For most of us, that calling looks like going to work each day to solve real people’s daily problems. For some of us, it looks like building companies, employing people, and creating abundance in a world still scarred by the Fall.

In this 45-minute talk to the Business Makers Network, I show why your business is not “secular” at all, but a God-given vocation at the very heart of His plan for history. We’ll connect the Creation Mandate to the Great Commission and the New Jerusalem, explore how entrepreneurs push back the Curse, quietly abolishing famine, eliminating want, and spreading opportunity to billions. We’ll also look at why excellence, innovation, and profit are not embarrassments but God-ordained requirements for His faithful stewards.

If you’ve ever sensed that your work matters to God but couldn’t quite articulate why, this is for you. Watch the speech, and let me encourage you: you are not “support staff” to someone else’s calling. Whatever you do, you are on the front lines of the Kingdom. It’s time you see it that way.
