EP 68: Why Business Is the Most Underrated Mission Field
Description
What if Monday morning was as sacred as Sunday morning?
In this episode, Steve Adams breaks down one of the most overlooked truths in modern Christianity: business isn’t secular—it’s sacred.
For decades, believers have separated faith from enterprise, but Scripture paints a different picture. From Genesis to Acts, God used work as a vehicle for worship and discipleship. Today, He’s calling a new generation of entrepreneurs, professionals, and pastors to reclaim the marketplace as a mission field.
This episode will reframe the way you see your 9-to-5, your leadership, and your legacy.
Because when business is done God’s way, profit becomes purpose, work becomes worship, and companies become disciple-making movements.
✝️ In This Episode, You’ll Discover
1. The Great Divide: Why so many believers still separate “ministry” and “business”—and how that thinking limits Kingdom impact.
2. The Biblical Blueprint: How Paul, Lydia, and early believers used commerce as a context for mission.
3. The Kingdom ROI Framework: How to measure impact the way heaven does—spiritually, economically, and socially.
4. The Three-Fish Model: The discipleship system that replaces handouts with sustainable, Gospel-centered entrepreneurship.
5. Your Marketplace Calling: How to turn your company, classroom, or calling into a mission field.
