EP11: Can You Defend Your Faith at Work? ft. Mark Farnham
Sharing your faith at work can feel like a choice between silence and a trip to HR. In this episode, apologist Mark Farnham unpacks why good work is your first witness and why no conversation has to "close the deal" to count.
Can you share—and defend—your faith at work without being pushy, preachy, or landing in HR?
Josh and Eric sit down with Dr. Mark Farnham, professor of apologetics at Lancaster Bible College, founder of Apologetics for the Church and author of Every Believer Confident. Together, they explore why doing your job well is your first line of witness, how simple worldview questions can open meaningful spiritual conversations, and why you don’t need to “close the deal” for an interaction to count.
Whether you’re a manager, a machinist, or simply trying to be faithful in your next meeting, this conversation offers practical guidance for representing Christ with confidence, wisdom, and genuine care.
