Hey everybody welcome to the mere Christians podcast I'm Jordan

Rayner how does the gospel influence the work of mere Christians?

Those of us who aren't pastors or religious professionals, but who work as guidance counselors,

tree trimmers, and compliance officers.

That's the question we explore every week and today I'm posing it to David Platt.

He's the bestseller of some incredible books like Radical Before You Vote and this new book that I loved called

Don't Hold Back. He's also the lead pastor at McLean Bible Church in Metro Washington, D.C DC and previously served as the president of the

International Mission's Board. David and I sat down for the first time to talk through

six steps for how we can follow Jesus fully in our workplace.

We talked about how David's view of the Great Commission has expanded greatly over time.

And we got into the weeds about how to respond to gender pronouns in the workplace.

I think you guys are going to love this conversation with my new friend David Platt.

David Platt.
