Why a Biblical view of vocation matters for government work.
The Faithful Presence Podcast’s new series, “Thinking Deeply,” is here.
Michael welcomes Dr. William Peel (Th.M., D.Min.), President of 24Seven Faith, co-founder of the Faith & Work Summit, member of the Advisory Council for the Lausanne Movement Workplace Ministry, and author of Going Public with Your Faith: Becoming a Spiritual Influence at Work, and others.
In this episode, Michael and Dr. Peel discuss the importance of robust vocational formation as a part of whole-life discipleship, the work of the recent Lausanne Conference in Seoul, as well as New Perspectives (on workplace evangelism).
