Five Mere Christians: How Ordinary Work Becomes Kingdom Work | Jordan Raynor | Episode 353


Listen Later

Author and speaker Jordan Raynor joins Blake to discuss his new book, Five Mere Christians. Jordan shares how the book highlights five believers who, without being pastors or full-time missionaries, profoundly impacted the world through their work, showing how all vocations can be sacred when done for God's glory. He explains why traditional biographies often fall flat and how he aimed to create short, binge-worthy stories that inspire action. The conversation also touches on reframing secular work as sacred and gives listeners a preview of the powerful, faith-driven lives featured in the book. Through these stories, Jordan encourages listeners to find modern models of Christlike living and practical ways to reflect that in their own lives.

In this episode, you’ll be able to…

  • Discover how ordinary work can be a powerful way to glorify God, as shown through the lives of "mere Christians."

  • Hear practical tips for creating a less hurried, more present lifestyle, especially in parenting and daily routines.

  • Find encouragement to follow modern examples of faithfulness that point directly to the life and love of Jesus.
