Bible Reading Plan – Sharing Your Faith at Work
Sharing Your Faith at Work
The number of employees far outnumbers the number of pastors and missionaries. Entrepreneurs and working professionals have an incredible opportunity to share their faith in the workplace. But it’s not so easy.
Many people wonder about what it looks like to share faith at work. Does it look like handing out gospel tracts? Does it mean confronting team members about their sins? Maybe it just means “being nice.”
As a rule of thumb, we should let the Holy Spirit lead our conversations. There’s no one rule for every situation. But this Bible reading plan will uncover a few strategies and anecdotes related to sharing faith at work. Start the reading plan today!
Day 1: Opportunities Everywhere
Sharing your faith begins by recognizing opportunities. What would it look like to praise God everywhere you went? It might take a bit of creativity – sales meetings can be a bit boring sometimes – but this is our challenge to you today. Conversations about faith don’t have to happen only in church. God is everywhere, and so are people who need His love.

Day 2: The Winsome Way
Many people perceive evangelical Christians as confrontational and antagonistic. They’ve watched hypocritical Christians point out splinters while carrying around massive logs. And Christians know this. That’s why recent studies have shown that only 6% of workers share their faith at work.
You probably agree that this number should be higher. But how do we go about having these conversations about faith and work at work in a way that doesn’t immediately alienate our colleagues? Get three tips for sharing faith at work in today’s devotional.

Day 3: Why You Share Faith at Work Matters
Today, we dive into your motivations behind sharing faith at work. The best and most successful businesses are guided by a strong mission statement, so what’s the mission statement for your life? And more specifically, what’s the motivation for your faith-based conversations with coworkers?
As Christians, we’re called to glorify God. That might look different for different people, but we can’t escape that general principle. So, when you have conversations about faith at work, are you doing it to tear someone down? Make yourself seem more righteous? Prove a point? Or introduce someone to a loving relationship with their creator?
Bible reading from Proverbs.
Day 4: What Success Looks Like
Our very existence is an incredible opportunity to demonstrate God’s love. Jesus both modeled and explained God’s love. He didn’t just talk at people, he cared for them physically and emotionally. If you’re wondering how to best demonstrate God’s love for people at work, try asking yourself the question, “What makes Christ followers different?” Look back on your life and think about the people who made a difference. What was different about the ways they acted?
