Faith and technology intersect in the marketplace when innovation is guided by Jesus’ example—using tools and systems not just for progress and profit, but to serve people, promote equity, and advance God’s kingdom.
In today’s fast-paced world, technology shapes nearly every aspect of our lives—how we communicate, travel, learn, and even power our cities. For many, the marketplace of innovation and business can feel like a purely secular space. But what if technology could also be a place where faith flourishes and where Jesus’ presence can be made known?
As Christians, we believe that God is not confined to church buildings or Sunday services. He is present in the spaces where we innovate, collaborate, and build. Technology is not simply a tool—it’s a platform with the potential to serve people, advance justice, and bring light into areas often overlooked. By approaching technology with a faith-driven perspective, entrepreneurs and innovators can ensure that their creations don’t just advance convenience and efficiency, but also reflect values of compassion, equity, and stewardship.
Jesus’ ministry was centered on people—meeting needs, healing, and breaking down barriers. In the same way, technology has the power to meet practical needs: creating clean energy, expanding mobility, or providing access to education and healthcare. When infused with faith, these innovations can be directed not only toward profit but toward purpose—aligning with the Gospel’s call to serve “the least of these” (Matthew 25:40).
In the marketplace, Christians in tech are called to model integrity, generosity, and servant leadership. Imagine a world where businesses prioritize dignity alongside growth, or where data systems are built with justice in mind, or where clean energy technologies are deployed not just where they’re profitable, but where they’re most needed. This vision reminds us that Jesus can be present in every circuit, code, and contract when His people commit to living out faith in their work.
Faith and technology are not at odds. In fact, the marketplace is one of the most powerful mission fields of our time. By bringing Jesus into the design, deployment, and impact of technology, we can shape a future where innovation doesn’t just serve progress—but also serves people, communities, and God’s kingdom.
