Excerpt Taken from Chapter One God’s people need to hear a new story for their work. The story is that the tip of the spear, the daring frontline, the beating heart of God’s mission in the world is wherever his people, the church, filled with his Spirit, scatter to represent him and serve others amid their everyday work, whether paid or unpaid. Ordinary work is neither a disruption from what God really cares about—the thing that pulls us away from the spiritually important stuff—nor a distraction from the gospel.
