LeaderImpact staff can share this tips on how marketplace leaders can incorporate their faith at work.
Even as you work from home, how can you incorporate your faith as you fulfill your tasks for your organization?
It’s a tricky topic for every Christian with a job, but your faith can play an important role in your work environment. Examine your motivation for your job. Ask the Lord to show you His purposes for the role He has you in. Remember that God has placed you there for a specific purpose.
How do you begin?
Start with prayer. Ask God to increase your care and compassion for your co-workers. Pray specifically for each of your co-workers by name. Pray for opportunities not only to demonstrate your faith, but also for spiritual conversations.
Get connected with a faith community. Ask your church and accountability group to pray for you. Find other people in your field of work. You may contact Cru LeaderImpact.
Chat with your co-worker during down times of your work hours or even after your work hours. You may want to ask how they are doing in the midst of the situation. Test the waters to see how receptive they are to linking the COVID and sin in our hearts. If they seem uninterested at first, God could be preparing them for a later time.
Invite them to watch an online service on Sunday. Send them a link of the live-stream link to your church.
Offer to pray for them. You may want to ask them for any specific concerns.
Tell them your faith story. You can share how God gives you peace and hope even at this time. Depending on how your conversation goes, you can transition your conversations to the gospel.
