Ever felt like a second-class Christian because you donât work as a pastor or missionary?
Yeah, me too. Hear the biblical truths that set me free in this 5 minute video!
Discover Godâs epic and freeing plans for your work!
Vocation Bible School is an online course designed to ensure that you walk away with 3 things.
Freedom
Freedom from feeling like a second-class Christian because youâre not a pastor or âfull-time missionary.â Freedom from the pressure of finding the equivalent of âMr. Rightâ for your âcalling.â Youâll walk away from VBS with confidence to lean into nearly any vocation for the glory of God!
Purpose
You understand how the 1% of the time you spend âsharing the gospelâ with those you work with matters to God. But what about the other 99%? Youâll finish Vocation Bible School with a deep conviction that 100% of your time matters to Godâboth now and for eternity.
Practices
VBS is not just informative. It will be transformative if you complete the 10 optional practices in the free VBS Workbook that accompanies the course. Iâve designed these exercises to help you apply what youâre learning so that you can maximize the eternal impact of your work!
"Jordanâs teachings were life-changing and revolutionary. It's that moment when somebody finally was able to put into words what I could not put my finger on. It was a 'Eureka!' moment. Liberating! Thank you, Jordan. I will never look at work the same again."

Hereâs what youâll learn in Vocation Bible School!
There are 25 on-demand video lessons in VBS organized under 4 units. Hereâs a glimpse at what youâll learn in each.
The STORY of Work
In this unit, youâll discover Godâs plan for your work from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22, and learn:
-
What work in heaven will be like (spoiler alert: eternity is not a vacation but a perfect vocation đ¤Ż)
-
Why Jesusâs career as a carpenter is one of the least surprising things in all of Scripture
-
Why the Great Commission is only half of the dual vocation God has called you to today
The WHY of Work
In the second unit of VBS, youâll see 7 of the many ways your work matters to God, and learn:Â
-
How your work might physically last for eternity on the New Earth
-
Why youâre in a far better position to âmake disciplesâ than your pastor or the missionary pictured on your refrigerator
-
How every moment at work is an opportunity to worship and contribute to Godâs eternal pleasureÂ
The WHAT of Work
In this unit, youâll uncover 6 freeing principles for choosing your vocation, and learn:
-
Why God cares far more about the who, why, and how of work than he does the what
-
Why thereâs no such thing as âsecularâ work for Christians
-
How to kill the lie that thereâs a âMr. Rightâ for your calling and embrace your God-given freedom to choose work that makes you and others come fully alive
The HOW of Work
In the final unit of VBS, youâll pick-up 7 pieces of double-sided wisdom for working as unto the Lord, and learn:Â
-
How to ensure youâre doing your work with God and not just for him
-
How to embrace tensions unique to Christian professionals, such as hustling and trusting in God to provide
-
How Godâs example frees you to do work the world sees as âtrivialâ or âuselessâ such as art, beauty, entertainment, etc.
The VBS Workbook
Throughout the four units of the course mentioned above, Iâll be encouraging you to complete 10 optional practices in the free VBS Workbook, including:Â
-
Building a list of âLaunchersâ to move conversations with co-workers from the surface to the serious to the spiritual
-
Developing a strategy for scratching-off glimpses of the Kingdom of God in your workplace
-
Starting an âAnti-Bucket Listâ as a means of maximizing the eternal rewards you earn through your work todayÂ

Hereâs what students are saying about the content inside VBSâŚ
"This changed everything for me. God used Jordan to change my entire outlook on how I saw my gifts, talents, and creativity. My work matters just as much, and is just as VALUABLE to the kingdom as pastors and missionaries. Who knew? Thank you Jordan for using your abilities to create something that completely transforms lives."
Amanda
"Jordanâs content has completely awakened my soul to the life God has called us to live."
Ryan
"Whether a student, stay-at-home mom, or CEO of a huge company, you NEED this. I always knew in the back of my mind that everything should be done for God, but I was confused as to how to do that. 'I love planning events, so do I have to plan only church events?' 'I love to write, so this means I should be writing about God specifically in all of my blog posts.' These were all thoughts that ran through my head as I tried to figure out what exactly God wants me to do. Jordan Raynor was an answer to those worries."
Alannah
"Iâm already inspired and to say my life has been transformed is an understatement."
Adedeji
"Jordan unpacks the incredibly complex idea of âwhy I was put on this planetâ through incredibly easy to understand language, personal anecdotes, and a variety of interviews with some of the most compelling Christians on the planet."
Brandon

And while my name might be new to you, the names of those who have endorsed my work are likely notâfriends across denominational lines like Tim Keller, John Mark Comer, Mark Batterson, Joni Eareckson Tada, Randy Alcorn, Carey Nieuwhof, Nona Jones, Jefferson Bethke, Wendy Speake, Asheritah Ciuciu, Ruth Chou Simons, and Matthew West.
In addition to creating content like Vocation Bible School, I work in the âreal worldâ just like you as the Executive Chairman of Threshold 360, a venture-backed tech startup I previously ran as CEO following a string of successful ventures of my own.
A sixth-generation Floridian, I live in Tampa with my wife Kara and our three amazing little girls: Ellison, Kate, and Emery. We love our church family at The Church at Odessa where I have the privilege of serving as an elder.

Absolutely! And at no additional cost. Unlike Netflix, I wonât shut your account down if you share your password with a friend. :)Â

That said, in addition to my role as Chairman of the tech startup Threshold 360, I study Godâs Word incredibly hardâfrankly, harder than many pastors.
