As disciples of Jesus, our workplaces are often our primary place of mission. Yet we sometimes fail to recognize two key dimensions of our work-mercy and justice. 

Designed around short videos presented by leading practitioners and theologians, The Missional Disciple is a six-week course exploring how mercy and justice are not only central to the biblical story but are also at the heart of God''s character. Created for group use and packed with case studies, community discussion questions, simple practices and prayer prompts, this interactive course will help you discover a holistic paradigm and equip you to become a restorative presence in your everyday workplace.

Whether tending to beds in a hospital or starting a business, sitting at a call center or waiting tables in a restaurant, this workbook invites you to grasp hold of your identity as a missional disciple and to integrate mercy and justice within your industry. 

What if work was a pathway for your heart, your neighbor, and your city to experience renewal?

For many Christians, the work we do every day is a means to a more "spiritual" end. We endure challenging meetings, countless spreadsheets, terrible commutes, and sometimes painful labor so that we can get to the real work God has called us to. We view work as an obstacle to our discipleship journey.

But what if work was not an obstacle but part of God''s perfect design?

The math is simple. For every hour we spend in a church gathering, many of us will spend at least forty somewhere else-at work. It''s time for us to consider how God might not only want to shape us on Sundays but also throughout our working week. God doesn''t dismiss our everyday work but rather sees paid and unpaid work as vital to his redemptive mission.

Go Forth is an invitation to reimagine every vocation and workplace as an arena where God''s character is on display. With key scriptural passages to focus on, discussion questions, and practices that will transform your current work habits, this eight-week Bible study will help you explore with others the beauty and brokenness of work-from the first lines of Scripture until the very last page.
