Journal  (Reflect on one or more of these questions)

• When at work, what do you think the balance should be between modeling Christ through your actions/attitudes and sharing Christ through your words?

• What scares you the most about sharing your faith with fellow workers?  What excites you the most?

• Pick two people you work with. Write down everything you know about their story.  Now think about what else you would like to know about them. Can you come up with some questions or ways to show interest in them both personally and spiritually?

• Write out your testimony in words that feel natural to you.  This is simply your story...but showing how and where Jesus interacts with your life. What has knowing Jesus meant to you?

Quote Interaction   (Agree, disagree or otherwise engage with the quote/quotes)

• Vocation is where our greatest passion meets the world's greatest need. (Frederick Buechner)

• Every Christian is either a missionary or an impostor. (C. H. Spurgeon)

• Be encouraged that simply finding people interesting and caring about them is a beautiful pathway into their heart. Evangelism gets a bad reputation when we are not really interested in people and don’t seem to care about them. People really are interesting. The person you are talking to is an amazing creation of God with a thousand interesting experiences. Very few people are interested in them. If you really find their story interesting, and care about them, they may open up to you and want to hear your story—Christ’s story. (John Piper)

• You’ve got to get people lost before you can get them saved. (D. L. Moody)

• You are a Christian because somebody cared. Now it's your turn. (Warren Wiersbe)

Reading and reflection on Shaping The Journey of Emerging Adults: 

• Read “Shift 1: From Twentieth Century Thinking to Twenty-first Century Thinking” (pp. 46-48).  How is the emerging adult generation at an advantage in thinking about how to reach others for Christ in this culture? How are they at a disadvantage? What “bold moves” would you love to see young adults take in reaching the world for Christ and specifically in the workplace?

• Read “Shift 5: From Cruise Ships to Beach Head Landing Ships” (pp. 54-55).  How is a Landing Ship mentality helpful for thinking about sharing Christ at work?

• Read “Help emerging adults recognize stability and new limitations as a gift…” (p. 204). How do you feel limited in workplace evangelism as a part time or temporary employee? What evangelistic opportunities might be enhanced as you enter into a career or stay longer at a part-time job?
