Here are some ideas from my board of directors, all of whom are in the workplace:

Stu: Has an in-depth discipleship study that he takes his employees thru.

Steve: Leaves clues as to his faith scattered around his office. Makes it clear with employees and customers what his moral standards are.

Roger: Formed an intercessor group that met for an hour before work to pray.

Liza: As the resident director at a university, she is responsible for 200 women. She intensively disciples eight, but is available to all 200.

See the “How to Disciple” topic on my blog for more on this topic.

Good Post Seth, but I have a problem with one of your presuppositions. In regards to “Steve”, i find your posture of “consent” unusually optimistic. Though for some Steve’s Christian paraphenalia may be signs of reassurance, leading one to believe that Steve is a good person, guided by Christian morals. Conversely, another individual who has had a negative experience with the church may view these items as warning signs of someone who is closeminded, arrogant, etc. Sorry i did not articulate this as clearly as i would want to, but i am short on time. Just a thought
