Most people spend the majority of their lives at work, whether as lawyers or construction workers, stay-at-home parents or globe-trotting executives. The gospel’s redemptive power affects every part of life, including our jobs.

In this second edition of Discipleship with Monday in Mind, there are 16 interviews plus many creative examples from pastors around the country who are integrating faith, work, and economics for their congregations and local context. This resource is a concise and practical guide that will help pastors practically show their churches the importance of an applied theology of the goodness of everyday work.

The workplace can be very rewarding for the Christian worker. But let's face it-the workplace can also be the most challenging place to be "salt and light" as Jesus commands in Matt 5:13-16. It is daunting to consider that on average, we work 90,000 hours over the course of our working lives. Living Salty and Light-filled Lives in the Workplace gives Christian workers some practical ways to be "salt and light" in the workplace. It will help the Christian white- and blue-collar worker live salty and light-filled lives in the workplace.

Navigating life after college is difficult. Friendships change, transitions are tough, and answering the "right" call to work may feel like a job in and of itself. Regardless of how you feel about this new chapter — excited, enthusiastic, anxious, or nervous — answering the "call" to work after years of endless homework, curated schedules, and fewer limits on free time can often leave us feeling worked up, for one reason or another. Let's face it: Adulthood is hard.

For all the weary college students, the stressed-out high schoolers, and those shackled by anxiety surrounding the future, this book is for you. This book is intended to serve you as you navigate all of life’s callings both in this season and the seasons ahead.

Authors of Fertile Ground break down the five "hats" youth pastors wear as they disciple students to better integrate their faith with all of life, including work. Youth pastors serve as theologian, guidance counselor, psychologist, liturgist, and cultural facilitator, and each of these roles gives them a unique lens to navigate the trenches of youth culture, including how to help students connect faith and work both within the classroom and once they enter the workforce.

We believe work needs a new story, even for teenagers. Fertile Ground will help you lead and care for the teenagers in your congregation as they figure out who they're becoming.

Interpreting an ancient book like the Bible can be an intimidating task. Hopefully, this book will demystify or make less complicated the task of Biblical interpretation for the layperson (or seminarian) by the use of a handy and memorable acronym 'SCAR' - where S means sitting with the text to listen to the Biblical author's words over and over again; where C means the literary and cultural-historical contexts; where A means analysis; and finally, where R means God's Redemptive Remedy. Readers are treated to some accessible theory behind Biblical interpretation in Part 1 and examples in Part 2, where SCAR is applied directly to two Old Testament and two New Testament texts. God has revealed himself on the pages of Scripture. He has revealed himself because he wants to be jealously and desperately known; so, my prayer for you is that this small book along with the True Biblical Interpreter, the Holy Spirit, will greatly and patiently escort you in this endeavor so that you fall more in love with our beautiful and gracious God who knows and loves you intimately. And may your growing and maturing love for him manifest itself in your unwavering obedience to him.

Whatever You Do explores how we can pursue a more integrated faith and life through six important theological areas that provide a scaffolding to help us live meaningful lives, which is a fundamental human longing. As humans, we long for truth and understanding of the world around us. Scripture provides us with a foundation for how to "live, move, and have our being," as Paul writes in Acts, which leads to our own flourishing, the good of our neighbors, and the glory of God.

While the six theological foundations are not exhaustive, they cover a wide range of biblical themes that are essential for a Christian worldview. These foundations include the Bible's Big Story, God's Mission, Personal Wholeness, The Goodness of Work, Economic Wisdom, and the Local Church. These six authors examine how the themes of Scripture influence and shape every area of our lives, including our work.

Most Christians spend the majority of their lives at work, whether as lawyers or construction workers, stay-at-home parents or globe-trotting executives. At Made to Flourish, we believe the gospel’s redemptive power affects every part of life, including how we work. We want to help you encourage and equip your congregation to see how their good work matters to God.

This short book is packed with interviews and examples of creative ways pastors around the country are integrating faith, work, and economics for their congregations and local context. We hope this concise and practical guide will help you take real steps towards affirming the rich theological significance of the daily grind.
