Joseph Sunde's "Kingdom Economics: Work and Trade as Gift-Giving" provides a new perspective on how Christians should look at their careers. Rather than merely being ways to bring in income, Sunde calls us to understand work as a form of worship and gift-giving. The "Parable of the Talents" shows that our gifts are meant to be used, multiplied, and shared to glorify God and serve others.

This perspective reminds us that work is not only a personal journey but also a corporate one. When we use our talents for the benefit of our communities, we reveal God's grace in action. Whether it be small acts of kindness or significant contributions, every effort counts. As we align our work to the principles of Kingdom economics, we can turn economic interactions into acts of love, service, and lasting impact.

In putting grace and community well-being over self-interest, we not only serve God but also build a much more meaningful and fulfilling career. As I reflect upon my career, I hope to live by these values, that my work would add to the growth and prosperity of those around me.
