Between exams, internships, and the pressure to pick the “right” path, it is easy to feel a disconnect between the daily academic grind and the desire to live on mission. Does your major actually matter for God’s global plan? In Acts 16, a businesswoman from Macedonia named Lydia becomes the first European believer, demonstrating how the marketplace and God’s global mission have intersected since the earliest days of the church. In this talk, Clay B and special guest from Macedonia, Gjorgi G, will explore the theological reality that God’s redemptive mission is moving from everywhere to everywhere and invites everyone to participate. The talk will trace how God’s original mandate to steward creation seamlessly integrates with the commands to love God, love others and make disciples, advancing His kingdom on earth while we await its ultimate fulfillment. Grounded in their experiences serving in Macedonia and the Balkans, Clay and Gjorgi will share practical case studies of how diverse fields—including engineering, business, political science, sports, and law—are actively being leveraged for global impact today. Whether you are studying STEM, business, or the humanities, this session will offer a framework and vision for how your degree and future career can play a vital role in God’s redemptive work.
