🤔 Does God care about your Monday-to-Friday job?

In this episode of Bible Basics and Beyond, Jaden Gomez sits down with Millie Chan to talk about faith and work in the marketplace ✨

Ms Millie Chan is a senior lawyer and legal consultant practicing in both Canada and Malaysia, with extensive experience in corporate and commercial law. She currently serves as a Board Member of Gamuda Berhad and QL Resources, contributing to strategic leadership and governance at the highest levels of business. Beyond her professional work, she is also a graduate of Regent College Bible School, reflecting her deep commitment to integrating faith, wisdom, and leadership in the marketplace.

Ms Millie came to faith near 40 and first believed that marketplace work ranked below church work. She explains how she came to see that "all work done in honor of God, all good work, pleases God," and why a lawyer's calling is not inferior to a missionary's.
