Video Series
Doing God’s Business is a video-based resource that seeks to help Christians integrate their faith with their work. Theologian Frederick Buechner says, “Vocation is the place where our deep gladness meets the world’s deep need.” We pray as you journey with us through these sessions, that you are filled with hope and joy to do Kingdom Work as God calls you into the world as a minister of shalom in every vocation.
