Lessons from a Lifetime in Ministry Leadership - Greg Thornton

Greg Thornton thought he was headed for pastoral ministry, right up until God made it clear he wasn’t. What followed was a decades-long journey in publishing, administration, and leadership at Moody Bible Institute, all shaped by a simple desire: to be known as a servant of the living God. In this episode of Work Is Calling, Greg and Wayne Kuna talk through the unexpected ways calling takes shape over time. From feeling out of place during his exploration of pastoral studies to discovering a love for Christian publishing, Greg shares how God slowly revealed the work he was made to do. Along the way, they discuss the power of Psalms in leadership, emotional honesty in worship, what it means to carry a posture of servanthood into the boardroom, and how a childhood shaped by hard work and Scripture laid the foundation for a faithful vocational life.
