Listen "Called: Living Out the Gospel Where We Are | Lydia: Glorifying God through Our Work, Acts 16:11-15"

Episode Synopsis

In the final message of the Called series, Andrea and Piero Gorriti teach from Acts 16:11 -15, introducing us to Lydia, a successful businesswoman whose open heart and open home helped launch the church in Philippi. Her story reminds us that God is already at work around us, and our calling is to join Him.Lydia’s transformation was not driven by strategy or status. Scripture tells us the Lord opened her heart. She responded with bold hospitality, offering her business, resources, and relationships as part of God’s mission. Her home became the first Christian gathering space in Europe, placing her at the center of a movement that would ripple across the continent.This message invites us to view our vocation as sacred, not separate from our faith. Whether you work in business, education, caregiving, or service, your work can reflect God’s kingdom. Lydia’s life shows that ordinary people, when surrendered to God, can have extraordinary impact by living out the Gospel where they are.
