Discovering Your Calling: A Look at Peter’s Journey and Yours as a Christian Business Leader

Written by Ryan Dickinson | Oct 30, 2023 2:00:00 PM

As the sun rises and a new day unfolds, so does an opportunity to step into the extraordinary journey of purpose, leadership, and Kingdom impact through the marketplace. But how? Where does one begin? We find answers and inspiration in the life of Peter, a simple fisherman who discovered an extraordinary calling.


A Moment of Discovery
In the shadowy room, filled with the aftermath of the Ascension, amidst the believers numbering about a hundred and twenty, Peter stood up (Acts 1:15). This was not just a man rising to his feet; it was the awakening of a calling—a divine blueprint unfolding.


Your Awakening
Like Peter, every Christian business leader has a moment where they stand up, not just physically but spiritually and purposefully. It’s a moment where the ordinary patterns of life and business yield to something profound, eternal, and divinely orchestrated.


The Intersection of Business and Faith
Business is not just about transactions, profits, and losses; it is a platform, a stage where the divine script unfolds. Your business, whether small or a conglomerate, is a pulpit where God’s voice, principles, and love become tangible.


But how do you discover this calling amidst the spreadsheets, client meetings, and targets? How do you awaken to the divine script written for your business and your life?

Keys to Discovering Your Calling:

  • Reflection: Take time to pause and reflect. Dive deep into the scriptures and listen. Your calling is often a whisper amidst the noise.
  • Community: Engage with like-hearted business leaders. Join a community where faith and business intersect, where principles of the kingdom are the foundations of entrepreneurial ventures.
  • Action: Step out. Peter stood up. He moved. Discovery is intertwined with action. Take steps, however small, towards integrating your faith with your business.


As the day unfolds and business demands your attention, remember - you’re not just an entrepreneur; you’re a steward of a divine calling. In the metrics, meetings, and mails, there is a divine echo of purpose, waiting for you to stand up and step into your calling.

You’re not just an entrepreneur; you’re a steward of a divine calling.
