How competency directly affects the influence of sharing Christ
How do you gain more influence in your workplace and among coworkers? The best way to do that is through competency. Your coworkers are much more likely to take you seriously when you do your job right. Because of this, when you have more competency, it becomes easier to share Christ with your coworkers.
The idea of ministry at work
God calls us to go out and make disciples across the world. This also includes our workplaces. There isn’t a place where you shouldn’t share the Gospel. This is why, as Marketplace Christians, we are called to share the gospel with our coworkers.
