Follower of One : Missions For The Rest Of Us episodes

  • Are You Open to Correction? - Proverbs 15:33
    Before honor, humility. Who do you learn from? Who can give you advice, or correction? Mike notices that this entire chapter is filled with stern words for people who can't be corrected. Do you struggle to be right all the time? How can God use us if we're wrong? When we respect others, when we lead with humility, we find we can learn from anyone at any time. Learning and growing come from an openness to correction.

  • Battling Arrogance in Ourselves - Proverbs 13:10
    Do you ever think you know something and then find that you stop learning? Mike talks about how he spent many years as a know-it-all and how his arrogance cost relationships and learning. When we can take advice and listen to others we learn, but when we think we have all the answers, we stop learning and make it hard for others to relate to us. Mike challenges us to hold fast to what we know about Jesus and how he changed our lives. But look for opportunities to learn from everyone.

  • Separation from Christ's Love Romans 8:33-35
    Can your circumstances separate us from Christ's love? Can our situation take us some place where Christ can't take care of us? For the Apostle Paul, in this passage, he clearly states that nothing can separate us from Christ's love. Christ loves us and God provides for us in famine, persecution, and COVID-19 pandemics. And if that's true, how should we now live?

    See Them for Who They Are

     

    One of Michelle's themes in this episode is seeing people for who they are. We all judge, and this human flaw sometimes keeps us from seeing people as their true selves. It takes a concentrated effort to accept flaws and virtues for each person you encounter but when you do, it can be liberating! If we connect this with faith in your workplace, knowing people (even their flaws and strengths) can be a great tool for how you pray, help, and acknowledge them on a day to day basis. This comes full circle, however, and knowing yourself is one of the most important things we can do as Christ-followers in this world. So, do you know yourself? Your strengths and weaknesses? How do you manage someone else's flaws? These are questions we need to ask ourselves as we plan to integrate our faith at work. 

     

     

     

    What is Holding You Back?

     

    Integrating your faith at work can be a difficult task. It is not as easy for some of us as it is for others, but why? Michelle says to start at the root of the problem. What exactly is holding you back from taking action? Is it fear? Procrastination? Self-hate? To be a missionary at your workplace we must first understand ourselves and how we operate. Maybe it is a fear of what others might think of you after letting them inside your faith. Whatever the case, once you understand the problem you can then begin to build a solution. Here at Follower of One, we want to give you all the tools necessary to build a better relationship with not only God but all of your coworkers, and our Mission Trip will help you do just that. Are you asking yourself any of the above questions? If so, contact us, reach out to us and we will help you!

  • How to Wait On God at Work - Isaiah 40:29-31
    The time it takes for God to act often exceeds our patience and our capacity. From one very impatient person to another, Mike talks about what it means to wait on God in our workplace. How can we actively wait so that we see God and we also experience his new strength? Check out today's podcast episode for Mike's thoughts!

  • God's Inscrutable Understanding - Isaiah 40:28
    For the second time, Isaiah asks, "Do you not know? Have you not heard? He asks this for emphasis. This is a key principle about God, but it is also one we have difficulty grasping. God doesn't get tired. He doesn't need to rest or sleep. He has everything under control. And his understanding is inscrutable. The Hebrew means his understanding is outside of our ability to discover or search or measure. Imagine how God's limitless understanding impacts your relationships and your work.

  • How Big is Your God? - Isaiah 40:26

    Do you think about all God knows and controls? Do you ever reflect on his power and his strength? Do you let yourself imagine God, and how powerful and wonderful, and truly worthy of awe that he is? Take a minute today and think about God. Imagine his power that spoke everything into existence. He maintains it, too. He knows every star and none of them are missing. What difference does that make to you at work or wherever you are today? God knows our situation and has "good deeds" for us to do today. Look for God and then look for the deeds. You will find both.

  • Consequences of Our Actions - Colossians 3:25

    Thank you for taking action. I would add two introductory sentences to this. This passage was originally written by Paul to Colossian Christian slaves. Today's equivalent would be an employee. If we, as employees do wrong to someone else, we will receive that wrong. There are rewards for doing well, but there are consequences for doing wrong. And God is not partial at all. Can you put yourself in the position as an objective judge of your own work product? Do you know where you cut corners, or take shortcuts? It will matter.

  • Confident of our Reward - Colossians 3:24
    Are you confident of the reward mentioned here in Colossians 3:24? Mike tells a story about his time working in the trucking industry. Do you focus on your 401k or your salary in relation to others? Are you like some of the professional athletes who refuse to play until you're paid fairly? Do you withhold energy and effort because you want a bigger reward on this earth? God's person at work is someone who knows that Jesus will make everything right. Can we ask God to show us where we fail in this regard?

  • Bonus Episode! All Things Romans 8:32
    Do we think God will give us "all things?" God gives us everything. It all comes from him. Do we live like we believe that everything we have came from God? Can we be a giver knowing that God is the giver of all things? Don't let the pandemic cause fear. Rather trust God will give you what you need and then find ways to be a blessing to others.
