Anyone ever wondered what their God given purpose is when working at an agency? Just genuinely curious of your thoughts

My purpose is the same everywhere and not dependent on where I work. I don’t think God is concerned with where I work. He’s concerned about who I am when I’m here.

Agency people are just people.

I would recommend the book Garden City as well. Our purpose is to be a light in the darkness. No matter what job we do we need to do it to the best of our abilities as worship to the Lord, and be a model for those we interact with every day.

I recommend reading “Every Good Endeavor” by Tim Keller, great book to help find God’s purpose in our work.

You’d be surprised how powerful a good example is. Be the difference. Live the gospel. Treat people well. Honor others. Stand up for what is right, even when it isn’t popular.

This industry like any other is one that needs Christ. We're all called to ministry and to be a channel of blessing. Doing good. Being good, and relying on Christ to lead our lives in obedience is how we can steward the resources we are given. Being a good worker, being creative, creating margins at our workplace, they're all ways to reflect God and be a blessing..who would want to become a Christian if we're terrible workers? Daniel and his friends went to Babylon and were paragons of excellence while being culture makers. We can do the same in this industry. Blessings

Yes OP to inspire unbelievers to believe. Sometimes the only hint of God people have is the Christ they see in you and your actions - that is the Mercy of God bringing Himself to all. Advertising was considered to be one of the most untrustworthy professions (being kind here) and I asked myself why here...and then I realized...

I have been using this emoji 🙏 and saying to so many colleagues and clients “I’ll pray for you” with such warm and genuine receipt that I think sometimes God uses hopelessness to open people’s hearts to Him.

Hi! So glad to find this bowl!
Today, I was looking through other bowls and see comments like: “Anyone tired of chasing money?” “Is it just me or as I get older do you realize how little awards and accolades mean?” And I’m reminded of how grateful I am to have my hope in something other than my work. I hope my coworkers see that in me, too. That I work hard but advertising is not what fulfills me.
