Center for Vocational Mission

Sam Gibson interviews three young leaders based in New York on prayer and the workplace.

David Bahnsen answers questions about artificial intelligence and innovation, the future of work-from-home versus office culture, discerning calling and manage overload, the dangers of treating faith as a market trend, influencing large companies toward redemptive purpose, and the unique challenges women face in pursuing both career and motherhood.

David Bahnsen unpacks why work is not merely a necessity but a sacred calling woven into creation itself. Drawing from Genesis, his own story of loss and vocation, David argues that work is a God-given means of human flourishing, cultural formation, and neighbor-love. He challenges the sacred–secular divide, calls believers to reject both retreatism and idolatry, and casts a bold vision for Christians to shape industries, steward innovation, and embrace the dignity of vocation as part of God's restorative plan for the world.

Jon Tyson casts a vision for Christian vocation in a culture caught between burnout and idolatry. Drawing from Scripture, global data, and vivid historical examples—from William Carey to the Inklings—Jon dismantles the disconnect between Sunday faith and Monday work. Instead, he invites listeners into a reclaimed biblical vision where work becomes worship, service, and calling. He challenges listeners to reject futility, resist self-building narcissism, and step into redemptive participation that renews industries, cities, and the world.
