A key reason is the confusion about how closely the soul of business is tied to the business of the soul. As a result, we have followed a flawed mission strategy and neglected our most strategic mission field: the workplace. But, where does evangelism fit in the workplace? Is there an important connection between godly work and faith conversations?
