What if Monday morning was as sacred as Sunday morning?
In this episode, Steve Adams breaks down one of the most overlooked truths in modern Christianity: business isn’t secular—it’s sacred.
For decades, believers have separated faith from enterprise, but Scripture paints a different picture. From Genesis to Acts, God used work as a vehicle for worship and discipleship. Today, He’s calling a new generation of entrepreneurs, professionals, and pastors to reclaim the marketplace as a mission field.
This episode will reframe the way you see your 9-to-5, your leadership, and your legacy.
Because when business is done God’s way, profit becomes purpose, work becomes worship, and companies become disciple-making movements.
✝️ In This Episode, You’ll Discover
1. The Great Divide: Why so many believers still separate “ministry” and “business”—and how that thinking limits Kingdom impact.
2. The Biblical Blueprint: How Paul, Lydia, and early believers used commerce as a context for mission.
3. The Kingdom ROI Framework: How to measure impact the way heaven does—spiritually, economically, and socially.
4. The Three-Fish Model: The discipleship system that replaces handouts with sustainable, Gospel-centered entrepreneurship.
5. Your Marketplace Calling: How to turn your company, classroom, or calling into a mission field.
