Years ago, TV Dinners were very popular. (And I understand they are still available.) For those too young to be familiar with these here is a picture.
As per their name they were designed to be eaten in front of the television so you wouldn't miss your favorite program. I am sure they were not nourishes and their taste well..... And they were designed so that none of the items would touch one another.
It reminds me of many people's lives. They try to compartmentalize the different segments of their lives. Their work life doesn't touch their family life. Their family life doesn't touch their hobbies. And their spiritual life is private and therefore doesn't touch any other segment.
But the Bible makes no distinction that our lives are to be separated. Acts 17:28 says, "Certainly, we live, move, and exist because of him." If live in us (and He does) , then every area of our lives are interconnected. 1 Corinthians 10:31 says, "...whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." (Emphasis added) "Whatever", doesn't sound like we separate the different areas of our lives does it?
God's plan is for Christ-followers to impact the world for Him. But how can we make an impact without contact.
