Is it possible to thrive in today’s workplace while following God? People in all kinds of workplaces face this question daily, and many find the answer so difficult they are tempted to give up.

Working in an ungodly system

Work can be very stressful because we approach it as a Godless endeavour. Yet God didn't just create work He is a worker.
Work is not cursed it's a blessing and it was given to us as a platform for expressing our God given gifts and talents and the fulfilment of His creation mandate. 
To contrast ordinary work as secular or temporal and evangelistic work as sacred or eternal is an unbiblical dualism that runs against both the creation and the discipleship mandates. 
If you have had the experience of stepping onto a train in London you may be accustomed to the ritualistic incantation of the words ‘Mind the Gap’ warning you not to fall between the platform and train. 
This is an apt analogy for the gap between Sunday and Monday or the Church and the marketplace. TGIM is here to bridge that gap and help you connect your Sunday faith to your Monday work week.
