In today's episode:
Sometimes at work, we struggle to know exactly when to keep it strictly professional and when we can bring in our faith and be a testimony towards our colleagues. In this episode, we’ll be discussing balancing faith and professionalism.
If you’re working in an environment where not everyone is Christian, then it can be really challenging.
On the one hand, you are a professional in your job role and you were appointed in your role due to your knowledge, qualifications or any other expertise you bring to the table. On the other hand, you are a Christian who wants to live out your values and your faith. So can Professionalism and Faith be balanced at work?
But at what point do you tell people you are a Christian and when can or should you share your testimony, your values or anything relating to God?
Never force God on anyone, respect that they have different views than you.
You can practice your faith at work by silently praying regularly, before meetings, calls etc. We talked about Faith-Based decision-making in the last episode and that’s also a way to balance your faith with professionalism.
But I’d say something to remember is that you are there to do the job you have been appointed, so do that to the best of your abilities and when an opportunity presents itself for you to share about God, be brave and do it. Be sure you don’t force it on that person, and if that person starts feeling uncomfortable, then simply ask them to let you know if they have any questions and leave it at that.
The other way you balance your faith with your professionalism know your personal values and to stick them. They will help you make ethical decisions.
For example, if integrity is a value you would like to live by, then you have to make decisions or do your work in such a manner that others can see you have integrity.
So to recap:
- Pray throughout the day
- Live, breathe and display your values
- Don’t force God on anyone - this can really put people off
