Why Your Job Matters to God: Marketplace Faith with Tom Lutz | Follower Of One
• 60 minMost Christians spend 40+ hours a week at work but never think of that time as ministry. If you believe faith belongs only in church, you are missing most of your week. Tom Lutz spent decades building a global business and coaching Christian CEOs, and he makes the case that your job is where your calling lives. Key Discussion Points: Tom explains why work was part of paradise before the fall, and why that changes how you should think about your job today. Every role, from HVAC technician to trash collector, contributes to a world that God wants to see flourish. He walks through a practical framework for identifying every role God has called you to, including parent, spouse, and employee, and allocating intentional time to each instead of defaulting to busyness. The Ten Commandments are not a checklist for earning God's approval. Tom shows how they function as a guide to wise daily life, including how you tip, how you drive, and how you treat the person picking up trash. Tom draws a clear line between religion as rule-keeping and faith as a changed identity. Christianity starts with who you are, not what you do or what you know. He shares a simple, repeatable habit for making Jesus attractive at work without cold outreach or pressure: lead a life others notice, then tell them why. About the Guest: Tom Lutz is the president of Vision Planners LLC and a Convene chair in Atlanta. He founded a global construction information firm that grew to $120 million in revenue across 18 countries, then shifted to helping business owners and executives build companies that serve their communities. His doctoral research and two books focus specifically on equipping Christians to see their work as a calling, not a career.
