Follower of One : Missions For The Rest Of Us episodes

  • One Way to Gain Wisdom - Psalm 90:12
    Mike talks today about how we can get sidetracked at work. We can get so consumed in the urgent tasks that we miss the eternal importance of our everyday life. If we walk through our lives focused on our daily tasks and our own personal comfort, we miss the opportunity to gain wisdom and experience the joy of walking with God.

  • Another Job Description for a Minister - 1 Thessalonians 5:15

    Do you seek after the good of others? We're told in this verse that we need to make sure we never repay evil for evil. Regardless of what happens to us, we should look for the good one another and for all. Over the years, we might interpret that as taking part in certain behaviors. But what is good for one another and for all may relate to how you do your job, or how you volunteer in your community. It may also mean how you look out for others. Ask God to show you how to serve others for their good, which is another way of saying, we're all in ministry.

  • A Workplace Minister Job Description Part 2 - Acts 26:16
    What does it mean to be a servant and a witness? That's the job description Paul was given by Jesus. And that's our job description, too. Paul did his work differently than we do, but in the end it boils down to being a servant and a witness. You can be a servant and a witness at work today, too. But before you volunteer, check out the meaning of the original Greek word translated witness. It may surprise you!

  • Job Description of a Workplace Minister - Acts 26:16
    Do you "feel" like a minister in your workplace? Some might say so, but I think most of us would say we don't believe we're much of a minister. Often, the Greek words translated minister could also be translated as something else. In Acts 26:16, Paul quoted Jesus saying that he would be a servant and a witness. In our jobs, we can be a servant and a witness, too. That's our calling, but what does that mean?

  • How to Build God-honoring Relationships at Work - 1 Thessalonians 5:14

    This one verse gives us great insight into relationships with others. When we live in peace with one another from the end of verse 13, we will warn the slackers, we will comfort the discouraged, help the weak and exercise patience with all. As you think about that list today, how can you practice those things in your workplace? Do you need to encourage someone who is struggling. Maybe you need to find a way to help those who underperform? And I know for me, exercising patience toward everyone is always on to-do list.

    God is the Answer

     

    We usually speak metaphorically when relating the Good Word to our current daily lives. This is not because we don't understand the Bible itself but that in order to pull lessons that correlate with our specific experience, in this specific era, we need to adjust the lens a bit. Yet, "God is the Answer" has never wavered. There is no other Being who needs to be in our eyes. 

     

    Listening at Your Lowest

     

    When do you listen to God? Do you listen to Him when everything is going right? Do you pray to Him when everything is going wrong? Keeping consistent communication may be the key but we definitely can't forget to listen to what God is telling us during our lowest points in life. This is powerful and Taylor has a specific instance of this. We won't tell the story here, but take note of the episode breakdown and see just how listening to God during a low point changed her and her family's lives forever (for the better).

  • How to Make Disciples at Work - Matthew 28:18-20
    Just how do we "make" disciples? This passage is called the Great Commission. Jesus doesn't exclude anyone from this command, but many of us feel inadequate. We're not all Billy Graham. So if this is a universal command, how do we "make disciples," anyway? Mike talks about how we misunderstand teaching. In that day, a teacher had pupils or disciples who lived with them. In effect, we're all commanded to live in such a way that others would want to follow. Check out the podcast for more!

  • Do We Appreciate Our Salvation? - Matthew 13:45-46

    Do We Appreciate Our Salvation? Would you sell everything to possess the kingdom of God? The kingdom is that place where Christ is in control; where what God says, goes. We enter His kingdom whenever we choose to obey Him, listen to Him, and enjoy His presence. Mike shares how he often chooses his own way, proving why he's still not where he would like to be. But God still uses us in our relationships. Increase your appreciation by choosing to obey God. Pray for your coworkers, and when God gives you an idea, figure out how to make it happen.

  • The Value of Godly Joy - Matthew 13:44
    Do you experience joy in your walk with Jesus? I'm not talking about during a worship service or when you're volunteering in some ministry activity. Do you experience His joy daily, in the ordinary? When we realize the value of our relationship with Jesus and the value of the joy He provides, we will sell everything. But we don't have to sell it all today. Act on one idea Jesus gives you today and see! His joy can energize your marketplace ministry.

  • When We Can't Follow Jesus - John 13:36
    Jesus asked Peter to follow Him at the beginning of His earthly ministry. And He would do it again in John Chapter 21:19. But today, Jesus tells Peter he cannot follow Him. He's going to the cross. Following Jesus means we each take up our own cross daily. Peter couldn't take part in Jesus' cross. We each must carry our own. When we trust Jesus, we get the Holy Spirit to help us follow Him. But until we trust Jesus, and receive the Holy Spirit, we're not really following Him.
