There are a variety of some small group curriculums available which lead a small group in study on the topic of work. Here are two I have worked on.

The Work Exchange: 6 Life-Changing Strategies For Empowering Your Work

Frustrated, exhausted and ambivalent at work? Need purpose, power, and peace? The Work Exchange small group curriculum brings 60+ voices from business, academia, and the local church will show you how to work differently and make a difference.

This small group study was developed and produced with Convene Corporation and Jim Woodward, its author.

There is a lot of published material about:

  1. understanding the theology of work, in other words, why we should work differently as believers
  2. finding God’s sweet spot for the work you choose to do
  3. adding to work what you do at church (Bible Study, prayer, evangelism)

Yet, there seemed to be a significant shortage of help for believers about how to do their actual work differently.  Most of the existing content is focused on the theological basis and doctrine of work, but few address the integration of one’s habits and disciplines with one’s work, primarily how it shapes imagination and decision making in one’s work.

This curriculum has three unique distinctions:

  1. It includes a diversity of voices and leading organizations across the Body of Christ.
  2. It is a joint project between business and academia, breaking down the silos that have existed in the faith and work movement.
  3. It disciples people in their work life and addresses deeply held limiting beliefs so individuals empowered to walk this out in life.

The curriculum is available at no charge and in two formats:

  1. Video driven
  2. In person with a facilitator

Take a look around and enjoy these resources at no charge! The Work Exchange website has resources on how to do this in your local church or hold a small group or Bible study in your place of work.
