We are constantly being formed by the world around us. To be formed by Jesus will require us to become his apprentice.To live by what the first Christian disciples called a Rule of Life—a set of practices and relational rhythms that slow us down and open up space in our daily lives for God to do what only God can do—transforms the deepest parts of us to become like him.

We all teach something at work everyday. Followers of Jesus have a distinct advantage — a purpose and a calling — to teach something meaningful and life-changing to those we’ve been given to love and lead.

What’s described in Isaiah 60 never happened in human history and never can happen in normal human history—and it has much to teach us about how we view our work. Isaiah 60 looks to the end of time when God makes everything right and paradise is restored. And in that restoration, something happens that we often overlook: all the nations of the world bring their work products—their gold, silver, flux, and grain—as offerings to God. Just as there was work in the original paradise, there’ll be work in the future paradise. And so, what does that mean about our work?

Followers of Jesus are commanded to make disciples wherever they go — as they go — all the time. Making disciples is not only a command; it’s our highest privilege.

This guide is designed to assist you in growing spiritually and moving towards spiritual maturity. The first five lessons aim to help you fully understand the message of salvation and how we are to respond to it properly. In one sense, it serves as a review of teaching you may have already received, but these first five lessons are foundational and must be fully understood in order to grow spiritually. The first lesson examines the issue of purpose and why God has put us here. In lesson two, we consider probably the most critical theological issues in the Bible. Finally, in lessons three through five, we examine the necessary response for a person to become a true, authentic Christian. Then, in lesson six through forty, this guide contains foundational teachings that must be understood and put into practice in order to grow spiritually and to know Christ at a deep level. I suggest reading one lesson per day. After completing each lesson, I suggest you go through it three more times, one each day. This will truly allow you to grasp the foundations of our faith. —Richard E. Simmons III

To make disciples is seen as far too optional by far too many of us. The God who meets all of our needs calls us to make disciples the same way Jesus made disciples while He was on earth.

How can I spread the Gospel or make disciples if I am not a pastor or not seminary trained? "The Gospel is going to spread the most when we have everyday Christians who are following Jesus and making Him known everywhere they live and work and through their careers.”- David Platt

“I began to see a void in the training of the next generation of leaders. And I said, ‘We’ve got to do something about that,'” Soup said. Fast forward 36 years — Willie is still with Soup as the Assistant Director of Eikon Ministries. Eikon Ministries has grown into an organization that builds leaders who will change their communities from the inside out.

The command to make disciples is vital for all who follow Jesus. Watch as Soup unpacks this command theologically and practically for all of us who work — wherever we go. Obedience to this command is life giving for the disciple-maker as they "go" and for those who come under the saving love of Jesus and begin to follow the very same command.
