Finding God at WorkResponding to Questions: HellThe point of sharing the Good News is not "winning." Helping our friends in their journey toward Jesus is not a debate or an intellectual contest. Jesus didn't answer every question asked of him by people who weren't really looking to be persuaded of his message. Instead, he taught in a way that reached the hearts of those who were genuinely seeking God. At the same time, when people are seeking God, they're also grappling with real intellectual questions. We don't want to treat these questions like problems to solve or barriers to overcome. Instead...
2025-03-2723 minFinding God at WorkTelling What God Has Done for YouAs we have conversations with our friends about spiritual things, one of the most powerful things we can do is share stories of our own experiences with Jesus. We see paradigms for this kind of sharing in the Bible itself. After delivering him from demonic oppression, Jesus says to the man of the Gerasenes: "Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you" (Mark 5:19 ESV). Some of us don't have a particularly dramatic conversion story. Some of us can't even remember a time in our lives without faith...
2025-03-2512 minFinding God at WorkHow to ListenIn Luke 18, Jesus asks a man who was blind, "What do you want me to do for you?" He doesn't assume. He asks. He lets the man speak in his own voice. He honors his autonomy. Then a moment of faith and healing occurs. We can learn to do the same as our Master: Listening well, in a way that lets others speak in their own voices. We can . . . Q U - Ask questions to understand P - Paraphrase what they said back t...
2025-02-1815 minFinding God at WorkTrusting a Christian Friend Who do you trust most? Trust is foundational to our relationship with God. Think about faith: In terms of covenant, faith is loyalty. In terms of the intellect, faith is belief. In terms of relationship, faith is trust. If we want to help others come to see Jesus as worthy of their trust, we have to become trustworthy ourselves.

2025-02-1315 minFinding God at WorkFive Thresholds Have you ever had a really good teacher? Part of what makes a teacher great is their ability to see where their student's "zone of proximal development" is. What is the next step that this student can take that's going to be challenging, but that they can master with guidance and help? People also need guidance on taking their next steps in faith. Don Everts and Doug Schaupp, two leaders from InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, found that there are five common steps that people take on the way toward faith in Jesus: The Five...

WRC Young AdultsHow do we engage the culture?There's a tension in all of us when it comes to engaging with a culture and people who think, live, and believe differently than we think, live, and believe, but that's exactly what Jesus has called us to do as His spirit-filled followers. We are called to be influencers of culture, not just spectators or judges of it. No matter who you are, where you're at, or what season of life you are in, God has you where He has you to advance the Gospel through you. This week's episode unpacks what exactly "culture" is and means, what the...
