7:40     From Survive to Thrive:     
            Moving from        
            OCCUPATION to
            VOCATION in Our Work –
                                 Jeremy Shue   

Running a business is challenging: the marketplace is always changing, people are hard, and profitability can be elusive. In our day-to-day workplace, it is easy to get bogged down in the urgent and neglect the important. We get occupied by our work, and we neglect our vocation—our true calling as Jesus followers. But as committed Jesus followers, we are devoted to seeking first the kingdom of God. This has to be true in our business organizations and not just in our personal lives. When we align our personal commitments as Jesus followers with our work in our business organizations, we move from work as an occupation to living fully in our vocation.
