AN EXTENSION OF THE SEE ALL THE PEOPLE FAMILY OF RESOURCES
Disciples in the Marketplace is part of the next generation in the See All The People family of resources. A new combined/updated version of the first two books in the series is expected to launch in 2024. Like the books, Developing an Intentional Discipleship System, Engaging Your Community, Online Discipleship, Forming Disciples Through Worship, and others, this video-based, small-group series reflects the core convictions of the See All The People (SATP) movement:
- God’s saving love is with us, near and here to help (Matthew 1:22-23, 28:20b).
- We grow together in God’s love for life through intentional discipleship.
- Discipleship begins with caring relationships as we engage all people.
- Grace always has a context, a specific where, who, and when.
- Disciples see “grace at work” – everywhere, every day, in every life.
HELP THROUGH STORIES OF WORKPLACE DISCIPLESHIP
This series of short video vignettes (3-6 minutes) offers stories of real-world discipleship in the workplace, home, and community by lifting up the work lives of believers who connect the dots between faith and life. With a practical focus on the way followers of Jesus share grace, live their calling, and engage a community of others in everyday workplaces, these mini-stories illuminate the themes of discipleship as growth in grace and the power of listening and witnessing love that engages others. The goal for viewers, readers, and small-group participants is a fresh understanding of how our ordinary work lives respond to and share in God’s grace that is always with us.
