In praying for those I worked with, serving them above what my job required me to do and in developing real relationships with them outside of “Work”, I began to notice when their demeanor changed and they were having a bad day.

God taught me how to shift the paradigm of work into a place of work interlaced with ministry, a workplace mission field.

If I wasn’t a great employee, with great work…

Martha: When Jim & I were 13 we committed our lives to full-time Christian Ministry. So naturally I thought I would be a pastor’s wife or a missionary.

In 2006 I started a new job commuting 90 miles each way to work. I made a commitment to not turn on the radio on my way into work.

At some point in our lives, most of us have had at least one job that made us pretty miserable. And even if you haven't, we all have days when we don't feel like clocking in.

Your Ideal Position 1:01

23d ago1:01

1:01

Do you act differently around your pastor than you do around your family or friends? Most people do – even those who don't go to church. We feel like we have to be on our best behavior. We can't be our authentic selves. On the other hand, how do coworkers act around each other? It's usually easier to speak freely with the people we work with, espec…

Modern church culture emphasizes the importance and prestige of working in full-time ministry as a pastor, foreign missionary, or the like.

The body of Christ is made up of many parts; none is more important than the other. Do you ever feel unimportant in the Kingdom of God?

Changing the world. We all have that secret desire, don’t we? Changing the world in Kingdom terms is not measured in the BIG, the BIGGER and the BIGGEST actions in our life and work. It’s the opposite. Changing the world happens, one person, one word and one action at a time. It can be as small as a smile, a kind word, or a self-less act of service…

From Unconscious to Intentional 1:01

In the past couple of months, I’ve heard one word repeatedly out of the mouths of followers of Christ who bring their faith into the workplace. INTENTIONALITY. Intentionality is a concept defined as "the power of a mind to stand for things, properties and states of affairs". WAS and IS Jesus intentional? You bet. Should WE be intentional? You bet. …

Do you need to be removed? Sometimes, we start something and think we are supposed to stay in it, lead it, and serve it. And, we stay IN IT…sometimes too long.

72% of people who get up and go to work every day think “nobody cares about me”. That’s a WHOLE LOT of hurting people that will never experience God’s love.
