The Marketplace Christian: Bridging the Gap Between Sacred and Secular with Darren Shearer

Episode 36 Description: “The gifts are not just for people who went to seminary and got officially ordained. They are for the the entire body of Christ, for the building up of the body of Christ. And the primary place where we're going to use those is where we spend 60- 70% of our waking hours, which is in a for profit business for most of us.” —Darren Shearer Too often, we compartmentalize our faith, relating it to the "sacred" realms of church and personal devotion, while viewing our work and business as "secular." But the truth is, our spiritual gifts and talents are meant to be expressed in every facet of our lives— including the marketplace. Darren Shearer is the founder of Theology of Business Institute and Hybrid Books and Media. He helps Christian business owners and authors integrate their spiritual gifts and biblical principles into every aspect of their professional lives to build thriving, Christ-centered companies that glorify God and transform the marketplace.In this episode, Scott and Darren share insights on how to build a successful business while remaining spiritually grounded.
