And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.
2 Corinthians 9:8
Leaders in the Workplace are a Christians in business, education, government, medicine, etc. that have God given influence, authority and resources for advancing His kingdom, bringing glory to His name, and unifying the Body of Christ.
These individuals have been providentially chosen to lead the spiritual transformation of their communities. They understand and embrace the dynamics of change needed in a transformation agent; and, as the most influential leaders in their communities, they are positioned to be disciple makers.
inLight Consulting ministers to Leaders in the Workplace in one-on-one and group settings. One-on-one ministry is time intensive and, therefore, requires a definite leading from the Lord. If you feel this is God’s desire for you and your sphere of influence, contact us to arrange an initial presentation and interview.
There are a number of opportunities for group discipleship in Workplace ministry. Some are sponsored by inLight; others are provided by our ministry partners. It would be a blessing to help you find a group that will empower your Workplace mission.
Through this website, we provide resources for self study, and for Leaders in the Workplace to use in their own study groups. Most of these resources can be found in the training resources section. The inLight Adventure Blog and our weekly emails provide challenging insights into the state of the church and its ministry in the Workplace. Join our community to begin receiving our emails.
The Map Maker is now available. Written in two parts – a parable and its meaning – The Map Maker will challenge and empower you to make disciples and transform your community. You can find out more about The Map Maker here.
As presented in 2Corinthians 3:18, transformation is God’s way, through the Holy Spirit, of maturing His children into the full image of Christ. Many Christians get “stuck” in an immature stage because they do not know that transformation is necessary; and the difficulties encountered are normal and required. One of the key responsibilities of a disciple maker is encouraging and edifying another through the adventures of transformation.
Disciple making is the primary function we have been given as followers of Christ in the world for the restoration of what God lost in the Garden of Eden: His reign over mankind, His intimate relationship with mankind, and His habitation within mankind. It is through disciple making that we participate with our Father in Heaven in this great work. It is our Great Commission – our job description, so to speak.
Sadly, most in the church have a reduced concept of disciple making. It has become evangelism and teaching. Evangelism is merely a subset of disciple making – only a part. And “teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you” is more than just presenting the facts to someone. Disciple making is closer to apprenticing than what we in the 21st Century mean by teaching.
One last, and very significant, thought: Disciple making is more than a program (where I spend a certain amount of time with someone for Bible Study). There will be some that I will be called to disciple in this way, but disciple making is so much more. For example, it can happen in the midst of a business meeting and in a two minute encouragement with a stranger in the grocery line.
Disciple making is a lifestyle. It is the thing we do at inLight Consulting.

With such a wide range of possibilities, it is important to seek the Lord’s direction in regards to those whom He would have us formally disciple. inLight Consulting provides instruction, encouragement, prayer support and tools to aid the Leaders in the Workplace in their exploration of this with the Lord.
