What kind of witness for Christ are you at work, and are people picking up on it without you saying a word?

In this episode, Tom Nelson reflects on a chance conversation on a plane, where a stranger asked him, out of nowhere, "Are you a Christian?" Drawing on Paul's striking metaphor in 2 Corinthians, Tom unpacks what it means to be "the aroma of Christ," and how our witness at work is shaped by far more than the words we say.

Tom explores how a distinctly Christlike character, in our attitudes, our treatment of others and the quality of our work, becomes a fragrance that others notice, whether we realise it or not.

You'll learn:
-Why your non-verbal witness often makes your verbal witness credible
-How self-sacrifice, not self-advancement, marks a Christlike presence at work
-Why the fruit of the Spirit is one of the clearest signals of Christ in you
-How the excellence of your work itself can point others towards God

You are never just doing a job. In your attitudes, your actions and the work of your hands, you are exuding a fragrance, one that draws people towards life, or repels them.
