Mark 6:3

God was the first entrepreneur. He brought something out of nothing. He established order out of chaos. He created for the good of others. In this 3 day plan, you will see how God reveals His creative and entrepreneurial character throughout Scripture, validating our desire to create and giving us a theological foundation that deems the creation of new businesses, non-profits, and other cultural goods as service to the world.

Have you ever felt like your work is less significant than that of a pastor or “full-time missionary”? Have you ever sat through a “missions week” at your church feeling guilty that you aren’t “going” to “all nations” to make disciples of Jesus Christ? As the Scriptures in this reading plan will show, that guilt is unbiblical and unnecessary. Every time you step inside your school, your place of work, or your home, you are a full-time missionary, called to make disciples as you go throughout life.

As a writer, mother, and growth-minded individual, I am always looking for opportunities to learn. In the Bible, Jesus taught his followers using parables—simple stories to illustrate spiritual lessons. He is still doing this for me today. When I recently watched Star Wars with my family, the Holy Spirit highlighted it's parallels with His Word. Join me as we unpack the Jedi ways that point us to Jesus.

This reading plan is ideal for family devotions and will remind readers of the importance of including the Lord in everything they do. Each devotion includes an opportunity for family members to discuss their day, a thought for the day, a family activity, a prayer, a “random act of kindness” and a Scripture verse. The content for this reading plan is based on Ewald and Beatrix van Rensburg’s “Growing Together”.
