Business for the common good

“If you are a young person saying ‘I want to go into ministry because I want to change culture,’ how would delete the word ministry and replace it with business?” asks Greg Thornbury, president of The King’s College in New York City.

Thornbury isn’t trying to discourage people from becoming pastors and missionaries. Instead, he’s trying to reframe the misperception many young people have that full-time vocational ministry is the only or primary way for Christians to have an influence for God’s Kingdom through their work.

In this short film, Thornbury joins with other academic experts and everyday Christians to share their stories about how they glorify God through their work.
