Pastoring People for the Marketplace: How to Teach, Counsel, and Pastor Your Congregants Regarding Faith & Work

​Rev. Dr. Bill Fullilove

​​Dean of Students, Reformed Theological Seminary NYC; specialist in workplace theology and the integration of faith and economics

​​Summary

​​Bill Fullilove’s seminar provides a comprehensive framework for shepherding congregants whose daily lives are shaped primarily by their vocations. Drawing on biblical theology, vocational psychology, and years of urban pastoral experience, Bill will:

• ​​Offer a theology of work rooted in creation, fall, and redemption.

• ​​Provide pastoral tools for counseling congregants struggling with vocation, burnout, ambition, identity, and ethical dilemmas.

• ​​Show how to preach and teach in ways that integrate the gospel with the real pressures of corporate, creative, nonprofit, and entrepreneurial environments.

• ​​Equip pastors to disciple workers across industries—from finance to the arts—so that they see their labor as participation in God’s renewing work.

​​Participants will leave with practical ways to make “faith & work” a living part of their church’s pastoral ministry, not merely a program.
