Ep 2100: A Subsidiary of God’s Business

In this dynamic conversation, have your view of work challenged by Brett Johnson—global discipler, entrepreneur, and pioneer in the faith and work movement—as he confronts one of the most harmful misconceptions facing Christians today: the sacred-secular divide.

Brett introduces the bold idea of the “abolition of dichotomy”—breaking down the false wall between what’s “spiritual” and what’s “secular.” He unpacks how our faith is meant to blend—not balance—with every part of life, including our daily work.

You’ll hear:

Why “work is good”—not a punishment—and how the idea that “work is worship” can radically reshape your Monday mindset

How he challenged the idea that ministry is for a few, and helped launch businesspeople into leadership, mission, and marketplace impact

What happened when business principles were applied to a missions organization—resulting in a 25% increase in impact

His view that business is a force for good—not only to fund ministry, but to be ministry, creating blessing for employees, cities, and even nations

What Psalm 78:72 teaches us about calling: God often elevates what’s already in our hands

Why the church is not the final destination—it’s a halfway house, meant to equip and release believers into the world

Brett’s final summary is packed with insight:

“You’re called to work. Your work is your worship. Most of us are called to self-funded mission. It’s not about getting God into our business—it’s about getting our business into God’s business.”

Whether you’re in accounting, retail, education, or tech, this conversation will inspire you to see your everyday labor as a powerful part of God’s plan to disciple nations and restore His world!
