Our Mission
The mission of inLight Consulting is to encourage, edify and equip Marketplace Leaders to become disciple makers and transformation agents in their spheres of influence.
As you might expect, these words are carefully chosen:
Encourage: To put courage in.
Edify: To build up in the truth.
Equip: To mend, heal or repair something for its intended purpose.
Marketplace: More than business, the marketplace includes government, education, media, arts/entertainment, family and religion. The marketplace is where most adults spend most of their waking hours. God has not turned the marketplace over to the enemy. He has established a special force there, for His kingdom’s advance.
Leaders: More than owners and those at the top of organizations. Every Christian that has a sphere of influence is a Marketplace Leader; and is entrusted, by God, with authority. For example, a school teacher has influence with 20+ students and their families. Their potential impact – like that of every Marketplace Leader – is tremendous.
Disciple Makers: Jesus Christ commanded His followers to make disciples. This is how we join Him in His work. It is what He modeled for us during His time on the Earth. Find out more about God’s way of making disciples here.
Transformation Agents: Transformation is a difficult process. It requires dying to self; that Christ might be our life (think caterpillar to butterfly). God has placed leaders in the Marketplace to be transformed; and, as instruments of righteousness, to help others mature into the very image of the glory of Jesus Christ.
Spheres of Influence: God has carefully orchestrated events and processes to create the spheres of influence in every Marketplace Leader’s life. These groups of people are impact zones for the Gospel of the Kingdom. No one is there by coincidence; and God has a purpose and plan for each of them. The Marketplace Leader is God’s gift and vessel of grace to them.
inLight Consulting is a 501c.3 mission organization, established by God in 2006, with a message for Christian leaders in the Marketplace. God has revealed to us, and others, that chaos has gripped American society and the church that resides here. The times are more desperate than most want to recognize.
Our Perspective
God has not been caught by surprise. He has strategically positioned Christians in the Marketplace to bring the church back to glory. He has placed a special desire for this in their hearts – a desire that He will give them, if they will surrender to His eternal purposes. Those purposes start with Him restoring what He lost in man’s rebellion: His reign over, relationship with, and habitation in, His children.
Making disciples is the only commission we have been given as participants with Him in this glorifying work. As disciple makers, Marketplace Leaders must be faithful stewards of the mysteries of God. One of these mysteries, our unity, is God’s prescription for evangelism, and for the release of His power in the church.
God’s plan requires our sacrifice; and includes tribulation in this world. We must lose our life to gain His. Only those that strive to enter in, and endure to the end, will make it. Maturity in Christ is only accomplished by the Spirit’s transforming power.
Marketplace Leaders have been called to walk in “greater than” works – works that will glorify our Father in heaven. God is searching for those in whom He can show Himself strong. We have great hope for the church because we believe in God’s sovereignty and faithfulness. The work can only be accomplished by Him. He is working in us to will and do to His good pleasure, which is to give us His kingdom.
Our Responsibility
Simply stated, our responsibility to God is to make disciples that make disciples.
As we walk in obedience to this call, we will be blessed to participate, if only in a small way, in the transformation God has promised for Marketplace Leaders, and the spheres of influence they serve. We are not the leader; we are here to serve them in their adventure.
We are responsible to be faithful stewards of the mysteries of God. That means that we search out the matters of the kingdom, and leverage what we find for His benefit. We are, primarily, a teaching ministry – responsible for rightly dividing the word of God. We are submitted to the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ as our teachers; and we recognize that They must be the teachers of those with whom we share the truth.
We are responsible to the fullness of the Body of Christ. We hold no denominational affiliation. We aggressively agree with Jesus’ prayer for unity (John 17:21-23). We are responsible for fighting against the spirit of division that has plagued the church.
Lastly, we are responsible for investing all that God has given us back into His kingdom work. We are dependent on His wisdom, discernment and faith in determining the work in which we are to commit ourselves. He has given us a heart of surrender, sacrifice and submission. We are responsible to help all that He sends our way.
