Faith & Work Keynotes
Inspire your group to see their work the way God does to change their lives—and your organization—forever.
I have 3 goals when I walk onto your stage.
- I want your phone to be blowing up during my keynote with texts from your boss, board, and attendees thanking you for bringing me to the event.
- I want your audience to describe my talk as the “most mind-blowing” and “most entertaining” on the agenda.
- I want to give your attendees something they can actually do the next day to more deeply integrate their faith and work in response to my talk.
By God’s grace alone, I have achieved these goals over and over again on stages much like yours. Now I want to go to work for you and your group.
I only do 15 in-person speeches a year, and by God's grace my calendar fills up quickly. Want me to speak at your event? Check my availability today!

"I am so grateful for and inspired by Jordan Raynor. His teaching on the eternal importance of work allows us to see how God sees what we do everyday and how all work can be Kingdom work."

Keynotes
While no two speeches are exactly the same, these videos represent the core talks I am most frequently asked to deliver.
NEW: Five Mere Christians
Most Christians deeply want to glorify God in every aspect of their lives—including their work. But what on earth does that look like practically? I could tell your group the answer to that question through theological exposition. But in this keynote, I get to show them through an immersive, cinematic storytelling experience where I share the dramatic stories of five men and women throughout history who glorified God without a pulpit. While this keynote is super entertaining, it’s also highly practical. Your group will walk away with five actionable takeaways they can immediately apply to their work, no matter what they do.
Redeeming Your Time
Christian or not, it’s pretty hard to dispute that Jesus was the most productive person to ever walk the earth. And because Jesus was 100% God and 100% man, we know that he faced the same 24 hour time constraint you and I face today. How did Jesus manage his time 2,000 years ago? And how can we manage our time like he might today? Those are the questions I answer in this supremely practical talk where attendees walk away with 7 practices they can implement immediately to redeem their time in the model of our Redeemer.
Half Truths About Heaven
Most people spend more time thinking about a week-long vacation than they do thinking about eternity. That’s a problem, because when we fail to think deeply about our final destination, it leads us to settle for half truths about heaven peddled by culture rather than the whole truths we find in Scripture. After replacing a few half-truths about heaven with whole-truths, your attendees will walk away from this talk with a whole lot more purpose in the present and hope for the future.
The Unabridged Gospel
The dominant version of “the gospel” we hear today is that “Jesus came to save us from our sins.” That statement is gloriously true. But it is tragically incomplete. And the stakes of this “abridged gospel” could not be higher. Because if the gospel is merely good news for our souls, then the Great Commission to “save souls” is the singular mission of our lives—and most of us are wasting most of our time. Thankfully, this is not the gospel Jesus preached. Your group will leave this talk transformed by a deep conviction that 100% of their time matters for eternity—not just the 1% of the time they spend "sharing the gospel."
Stages
Here’s a sample of some of the conferences, churches, corporations, and universities who have entrusted their audience to me.
What to Expect
I don't view myself as just a speaker, but a partner that is fully invested in the success of your event.
You are getting much more than a speaker when you book me to speak to your group. You are getting a team committed to doing everything we can to help make your event a massive success. Here’s what you can expect from us if you invite me to speak at your event:
- Pre-event call with me and my team to discuss your event, your audience, and your goals to ensure my keynote is customized to your needs
- Promoting your event to my audience in your area (if your event is open to the public)
- Delivery of a high-energy, gospel-centric speech that your attendees will not forget
- A commitment to stick around before and after my speech to engage with attendees
- A guarantee that I will be the lowest maintenance speaker you've ever worked with
"I thoroughly enjoyed your Illuminate keynote. Loved the content, passion, and conviction through your words. I found it extremely encouraging and I believe it’s a message that more Christians need to hear. You inspired me and broadened my perspective on what’s truly possible with a renewed, purposeful focus on the value of work. Thank you so much!"
