Weekly Magazine | Serving God in Your Secular Job
Your weekly magazine is here—real stories, real faith, real encouragement. Just for you!
Dear Friend,
Work can be one of the hardest places to live out our faith. From watercooler conversations to office politics, we often find ourselves standing at the crossroads of worldly values and godly living. It’s easy to wonder: How can I honor Jesus in a space where His name is rarely spoken?
This week’s issue offers encouragement for those moments. You’ll find stories and wisdom from women who have walked this road—navigating secular workplaces, wrestling with discouragement, and discovering that God is present in every cubicle and conference call. Whether you feel stuck in a job that seems far from “ministry” or you’re learning how to gently live as salt and light among your coworkers, you’ll be reminded that your workplace is one of your greatest mission fields.
Take heart—God has placed you right where you are, and He has good works prepared for you there. May these articles inspire you to lean on the Holy Spirit, walk confidently in your faith, and trust that even in the ordinary tasks of the workday, you are shining the extraordinary love of Christ.

In the Workplace, Not of the Workplace
How to Reflect Jesus in the Office.
By: Danielle Thomas
Do you ever struggle to feel like you fit in at work? Maybe you find your coworkers’ borderline jokes distasteful, or you can’t identify with what seems to be the relentless pursuit of more money, authority, and success? When my coworkers tell stories about their wild weekends and booze-filled nights out, I can’t help but feel a tightening in my chest, a twinge that I just can’t shake.
It’s not only because I’m a generally tame person who enjoys a cozy Friday night in that I feel a level of discomfort at these topics and situations. I know in my heart that these things are displeasing to God, and it makes me feel uneasy. Our workplaces are such fascinating microcosms of our world, with people from different backgrounds all holding different values, beliefs, and priorities. In certain ways, though, the workplace atmosphere can amplify our human rejections of God’s goodness and highlight our shortcomings even more clearly. As Christians, it should be no surprise that these experiences feel uncomfortable or wrong, but sometimes the shock of it really hits us!
