About OCCA Business Program | A three-week intensive course for up to 15 people will seek to equip those from a variety of professional contexts. The course includes a mixture of lectures, discussion groups, Q&A times, workshops, and practical assignments, as well as trips to London to meet Christians working in different contexts in work and ministry.

As well as honing in on scripture for spiritual formation, encouragement and challenge, the course focuses on understanding worldview and speaking the beauty and credibility of the gospel into key issues in society – the very issues we often feel fearful of and reticent to discuss.

The Business Programme is by application only and is aimed at people who have at least 10-15 years’ experience in a business setting.

    I never skip a new John Lennox talk on ytube. What a blessing he is to the body of Christ.
  • @des711
    I appreciate these videos of discussing living your life for God first and others. I work at a lowly job position and still appreciate this talk. My teen sons need direction, and I am praying for God to save them and direct them.

    I am from India but I have never seen this kind of man. God filled this man with true wisdom and knowledge. He is true mentor. God may bless this uncle

    Yes, seek God's heart, his desire for building His family (kingdom) in whatever you desire to do, managing well the resources at hand ❤

    Still have awesome and tremendous respect and spiritual enlightenment from our Dr. Lennox, just not on this point.
  • @DHPshow
    The best talk I've heard of him. This was epic
  • Even though i do not agree with John Lennox on many issues, i do enjoy listening to him speak as he has a very soothing relaxing voice!
  • @papiwe1
    Love this about the kingdom
  • @LeftBoot
    Why now? Because of what John has recently read himself... New ideas that gave him the motivation to write it. 🤔 Maybe he's read Bernardo Kastrups philosophical books?
