Not Faith in Business, but Business in Faith

About this episode

Sam Bauer discusses the importance of integrating faith into our identity as business owners rather than treating faith as an addition to our work.

Many people ask how to “incorporate faith into business,” but in this episode, Sam shares a foundational truth: we don’t add faith to our work, we bring our work into our faith. We are not business owners who love God. We are children of God who happen to own businesses. Sam encourages listeners to see their identity as sons and daughters first, remembering that the Holy Spirit doesn’t clock out when we clock in. Our work becomes a place to reflect God’s love, character, and integrity, not a place to use Christianity as a marketing strategy. Instead of trying to put God into our business, we’re called to simply live as who we already are , people filled with the Spirit of God, wherever we go. Key Scriptures: •1 John 3:1 •Galatians 2:20 •Colossians 3:23–24 •John 13:35 •1 Corinthians 3:6–7 🎧 Listen now and be encouraged to live as a child of God first, in business, leadership, and all of life.
