Life@Work - Living Out Your Faith in the Workplace

About This Week's Plan: This week, we'll explore the middle three aspects of the Fruit of the Spirit: patience, kindness, and goodness. These qualities reveal Christ's character in our interactions with others, especially during challenging circumstances. Each day, we'll examine what these fruits look like in practice, how they're developed through life's difficulties, and practical ways to express them in our relationships. Whether you're dealing with difficult people, feeling worn down by waiting, or seeking to make a positive impact, these devotionals will help you cultivate the patience, kindness, and goodness that reflect Jesus to the world.

TRANSFORM: A Practical Guide for Men

We create our world using our words. Yet, through the force of habit and the lack of discipline, we often unintentionally compromise our blessings and forfeit our power. We do this because of the careless use of unhelpful, destructive words. Through these seven days of word fasting, you will learn how to speak with power and precision. You will learn how to shift and reshape your life using your words. 

Bitter Words: A 7-Day Word Fast

Celebrating Christmas is a tradition many of us look forward to all year. We play music, decorate trees, and throw parties all through December. This Advent reading plan aims to help in those celebrations by exploring the themes of the Christmas story. This plan can be read with friends or as a family (kids too!). Use the “Application Questions” for groups to center the conversation on Jesus. And, for families, use “Next Steps”, to find creative ways to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas.
