A Qualitative Analysis of Christian Vocation in Secular Workplaces

Abstract

Drawing on C. S. Lewis’s “at-and-along” concept and the two-kingdoms doctrine, this study explores how Christians understand and live out their vocations in secular workplaces. A qualitative phenomenological analysis of Christian professionals revealed a tendency to view vocation subjectively rather than objectively but with limited eternal thinking. These findings highlight a need for clearer theological understanding of the sacred dimension of vocation in daily work.
