Business as Mission - Philip Geldenhuys | Convergence 2024

Philip explores the concept of viewing work not just as a source of income but as a divine calling. He encourages believers to see their jobs as opportunities for ministry and service, framing work as a gift from God intended for participation in creation and stewardship (Genesis 2:15). This session challenges the idea of work as punishment, emphasizing instead that all actions, including work, should glorify God (1 Corinthians 10:31). Philip underscores the importance of aligning our work with God’s mission, which includes loving others and making disciples—principles rooted in the Great Commission and the Great Commandment. The Four-Part Gospel framework (creation, fall, redemption, and restoration) provides a lens for understanding how our work fits into God’s story. The session introduces redemptive entrepreneurship, highlighting how creating value through sacrifice transcends both exploitative and purely ethical practices. The session concludes with a panel discussion featuring two entrepreneurs who exemplify business as mission.
