I mean, I look at those traits, and I think, who does that sound like? It sounds like Christ to me.” JOHN: The struggle of being a Christian in a leadership role in a secular job "I struggle with the whole concept of being a Christian in a leadership role in a secular job. I struggle with the part about, is this really even God's purpose for me, because it's so not Christian. and how I can bring my faith to work without forcing it on others, especially being in a leadership role. So it's really hard and where I try to land on it is just being authentic, being approachable. Being someone who cares about others, and who tries to love at work, and I know that's not a term that we often use at work.” Want to share feedback or need a prayer request?
