Biblical Examples of Career Change

I am in the process of writing an article featuring Change Career Stories In Scripture

That address will take you to my bookstore website Online Book Resource where I went ahead and placed the rough draft.

I will develop this Biblical Change Career Theme as time goes by but here are some starting thoughts that I have so far:

God's Word is full of Change Career stories. Examples abound throughout Scripture of servants of God whose career choice was interrupted by God's call to change careers.

Let's consider first, Jesus, God's Son and our Savior.
1. Creator to Savior is quite a change in careers in anyone's book but is the primary message of God's Book.

2. Ephesians 3 describes the ultimate "change career with purpose" story, describing how Jesus, the Son of God, took on a servant role.

3. From Carpenter to Messiah was a career change Christ willingly made to fulfill His Father's redemptive purpose for His life.

My focus is to help those in ministry careers, especailly pastoral careers in local churches, see that God's call has within it a provision for change.

Onward with purpose,
