Purpose

Your “why” as a Christ-follower

Perspective

With a rock-solid foundation in Him, we are granted a perspective of contentment. Not mediocrity or boredom, because as Christ-followers we approach each day with an eternal perspective. We (should) know that God provides for us and that our jobs and salaries don’t define us. 

We become On Mission when our Purpose is at mind, our Identity is rooted at heart, and we are actively living them out in Worship.

And when we become On Mission, we realize it’s a 24/7 gig. There’s no specific time or place to be a follower of Christ. This includes, especially includes, our jobs. 

Position

Seasons of life determine where we work, our sphere of influence, and our priorities. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to this part of life and we know that. Understanding your position in life is fundamental to the greater mission of being a Christ-follower, so we split this part of the program into Workers and Leaders. 

Workers need to be remind who their true boss it, what it means to be “in the harvest”, and have an attitude about work that makes them the best workers possible. 

Leaders need to approach their workers with compassion and purpose, knowing that the words they speak and the actions they preform have a great influence. 

Both of these positions are important and we felt we needed to make that distinction in our program.

Provision vs Passion

Most people buy into the belief that our jobs need to be the perfect alignment of who we are, what we are interested, and what we are good at. While there is some alignment that we should strive for, we have completely replaced a worker’s attitude with concerns about passions, automation, and efficiency. 

We no longer view our jobs as just jobs, we look to them to provide us Identity. (Which, again, ties back into the first part of our program.) The truth is that jobs and career are an act of provision from God, not where we should find our identity. 

Looking for passion and identity in our jobs leads to a cycle of highs and lows that is in tandem with our job performance. Identity and passion in Christ leads to contentment at all times.

When our Identity is in Christ and our days are filled with Worship, we finally start to understand our true Purpose.

Skim Milk or Solid Food? Don’t Give Them the Answer Until They Ask the Question

February 11, 2021 No Comments

In my Tuesday morning bible study, our usual pastor/teacher/friend couldn’t make it, so “Tyler” had to step in. (Tyler isn’t his real name but in this article it is.) We love Tyler. His smile is infectious and his unassuming yet cheerful attitude floods the room.  But Tyler has a bit of a context problem.  Our bible study is Gospel-focused, where we chronologically go through the Gospels. Tyler came in and wanted to switch it up a bit.  The change wasn’t the problem, it was that Tyler did not know his audience.  Tyler went to bible college and earned a degree

The Passion Pandemic: Are False Passions More Dangerous than COVID-19?

January 12, 2021 No Comments

Statistically, no. But spiritually, yes. We fall into the trap that passion is something that comes from the external. We are taught that there is some holy grail that gives us complete fulfillment, whether this comes in the form of a job, a hobby, or another person. The truth is that passion comes from the internal. Things don’t bring us passion, we bring passion to things. Think of that janitor that is all too happy to be mopping floors, never caught without a smile or without positivity. Do we think that he derives joy and meaning from a custodial job?
