What shapes the way you live? In a world that is constantly trying to define our values, priorities, and identity, followers of Jesus are called to be something different. In this message from Romans 12:2–8, Pastor Ben Kaempfer explores what it means to reject the patterns of this world and allow God to spiritually transform us from the inside out. As we surrender our minds to Christ, He renews us, reshapes us, and empowers us to live with humility, purpose, and faith. Discover how true transformation leads to a life that reflects Jesus more clearly and uses the unique gifts He has given us to serve others and glorify God.

What if the problem with “cultural Christianity” is not that people don’t care, but that many were never discipled into maturity?

In the final week of Disciples at Work, Pastor Nate Schaidt challenges us to rethink spiritual growth through Hebrews 5–6. Instead of shaming people for being stuck, this message asks what it looks like for the church to raise up spiritual mothers and fathers who help others follow Jesus where they live, work, and play.

How do you follow Jesus with the same passion as a missionary…when your life looks painfully ordinary?

Meetings. Deadlines. Kids. Bills. Emails. Pressure. Responsibilities. For many Christians, discipleship feels disconnected from normal life. But what if the problem isn’t your job… What if the problem is how we’ve learned to think about discipleship itself?

This week in Disciples at Work, through the lens of Matthew 4, we look at one of the most misunderstood ideas in modern Christianity:

What does it actually mean to be a disciple?

Most Christians think mission only happens somewhere else — on a stage, across the world, or on a church trip. But what if Jesus intended disciple-making to happen both as we go and when we’re sent? In Week 2 of Disciples at Work, we explore how the Great Commission reshapes ordinary life. Your workplace, neighborhood, classroom, gym, and routines may not be distractions from mission at all — they may be the very places where God has already sent you.
