In this episode of my podcast, I had the privilege of speaking with Bridget Dube, a legal practitioner at the Ministry of Justice, Legal, and Parliamentary Affairs in Zimbabwe. Bridget shared powerful insights on living with integrity in the workplace, especially for Christians who may find themselves facing pressure to compromise their values.
Throughout the conversation, Bridget offered wisdom on how Christians can navigate situations where their faith is challenged—particularly when their bosses or clients may ask them to act in ways that go against their beliefs. With humility and grace, she shared personal stories of how she has confronted such challenges and stayed true to her faith, handling these conflicts with absolute meekness. Her experiences were not only inspiring but also practical, showing that it is possible to stand firm in faith while maintaining professionalism and respect for others.
Bridget highlighted several key scriptures that encourage us to be the true light and salt that God calls us to be in the world. She drew parallels to the story of Daniel and his three Hebrew friends, who, even while living in Babylon, upheld their faith and carried an excellent spirit in all they did. Bridget reminded us that, like them, we are called to shine in our workplaces, even when the environment may feel like a challenging Babylon.
Her message was one of hope, urging listeners to remain steadfast in their faith and to trust that God will guide us through difficult situations. Whether at work or in everyday life, we are to reflect the excellence, integrity, and meekness that Christ embodies.
May this conversation encourage and strengthen you, dear listener, to carry your faith with courage and integrity, knowing that God is with you in every workplace He has called you to.
