The invitation

Your work was never meant to be separate from your worship.

You have carried the same question into every Monday morning: what does faith actually look like at my desk, on my site, in my studio, in my classroom? Arise & Shine is our answer — two days in Uppsala where the Word is taught with precision and applied to real trade, real payroll, real decisions.

Come to be equipped, not merely encouraged. You will leave with a clearer sense of your calling, a stronger prayer life around your business, and a network of believers in Uppsala who will carry it with you.

Business owners & founders

Build with integrity, price with courage, and steward abundance without losing your soul to it.

Employees & professionals

Nurses, coders, teachers, tradespeople — sharpen the skill you already have and offer it as ministry.

People who want to grow

No title required. Students, career changers, anyone who senses there is more — come hungry and leave with a next step.
