Mobilizing the Marketplace
for Global Missions
The Great Commission belongs to all of us
THE PROBLEM
ERASING THE SACRED/SECULAR DIVIDE
SACRED vs. SECULAR
There is a common misconception in Christian circles that labels ministry work as sacred, and marketplace work as secular.
This is an instinct Christians have wrestled with since the early days of the Church. But this sacred versus secular thinking is just bad theology.
We need to break the cycle.
WE’RE HERE TO HELP.

The Stone Table has given me the opportunity to invest in projects around the world that I believe are very meaningful to God’s heart. I wouldn’t have these opportunities without The Stone Table.

When Boldness Turns into Foreclosure: Lessons from a Failed Development
This week we discuss the misconception that people of faith are always bold and irrational risk-takers. Erik shares a personal story about a partially developed property in southern Indiana that was foreclosed on by a bank. The property was being developed by Christian builders who had a vision but lacked the funds to complete the project. He emphasizes that faith and risk are not synonymous, but faith always requires obedience. Erik highlights the importance of discerning what God is saying and being obedient to His guidance. He concludes by encouraging listeners to consider whether they are being obedient to God’s calling, whether it requires taking a bold step or exercising the discipline of waiting.
THE MISSIONAL MARKETPLACE
IS THERE ETERNAL VALUE TO YOUR DAY JOB?
In Missional Marketplace, author Erik Cooper offers his perspective through personal stories and reflections on the sacredness of all work, framing the faith and work discussion through the lenses of The Great Story, The Great Commandment, and The Great Commission. This book will create a gospel-collision between your faith, your work, and the global mission of God in this world.
