In our first episode, we’re joined by David, a director of corporate strategy at a large tech company. Despite his demanding role and the busyness of family life, David shares how he discovered God’s mission for him in the workplace.

He talks about how his understanding of work has shifted, and how he now intentionally values and cares for the people God has placed in his life. He also reflects on how God has blessed him through simple acts of obedience.

Whether you're feeling distant in your faith or searching for truth, David’s story offers a hopeful reminder that God is present - revealed in the everyday.

Reflection:

1. ​In what ways might the practices of talent development in corporations inform how we, as the Church, discern and cultivate spiritual gifts among believers?
2. ​In what ways has the American Church adopted corporate models of leadership and structure, and how might this be shaping our witness, discipleship, and understanding of the Church’s mission?
