In this episode of the Fearless Faith Radio Show, Mary Grothe shares her personal journey of embracing the sacredness of work as a Christian executive in corporate America. She discusses her traumatic upbringing, her breakthrough, the rock bottom moment that led her to Christ, and her subsequent success in the business world. Mary also explores the conflict she felt between her faith and her career, and how she ultimately came to understand that her marketplace talents were given to her by God for a purpose. She delves into the biblical definition of work, the false altered definition of work, and the importance of embracing the sacredness of work. Mary's story serves as an inspiration for Christians in the workplace to use their talents for good and to spread the good news of the gospel.
