Christian business owners and employees are often met with
conflicting values and business practices in their work. Doug McClain,
Christian medical researcher and businessman, began his career in a
Christian organization and has since branched out to the medical field.
As many who share religious values that may not be associated with their
work, McClain knows there is a line with what he can speak about with
patients but he chooses to show God's love in other ways.
Showing
the love of Christ may not always mean speaking about your faith
directly to others. Living a Christian life and speaking with
compassion, genuinely caring about others, and helping your fellow man
shows Christ's love to others and can often be the best testament of
Christ possible. Sometimes these methods also lead to genuine
conversations about one's cheerful attitude and personal beliefs.
As a Christian, some of the best ways to show your faith to others is how you present yourself in the workplace. Keep in mind that your job is a gift from God! Without it, you would not have a roof over your head and the ability to care for your family. Treating coworkers, clients, and those in authority with respect can be trying at times, but also a wonderful representation of Christ. Keeping the big picture in mind can make the trivial things in life just become background noise that can be overcome. Doug McClain enjoys serving others through his work in medicine and staying joyful no matter the circumstance.
