Episode notes
The Workplace Feels Like A Foreign Country
- The workplace can feel like a foreign country where Christians must communicate differently than at home or church.
- Yet colleagues provide the best evangelistic opportunity because believers spend most waking hours with them.
Why Workplace Evangelism Requires A Different Strategy
- Workplace evangelism involves secular norms, limited time, power imbalances, and relationships that must continue for years.
- Strategies designed for strangers or casual acquaintances do not transfer easily to colleagues.
Serve Colleagues Before Seeking Conversion
- Make blessing colleagues the primary aim before seeking conversion opportunities.
- Serve through costly time, effort, and money; natural conversations may follow without damaging relationships when people decline.
