This unique course will equip Christian Ministers to effectively teach and disciple believers to understand their work, their job, as a \"calling\" to represent Jesus Christ and His Kingdom in the world. It's taught by a Christian who gained wisdom and insights from working in the business world as well as being a pastor: Dr Larry Peabody.

This is a self-paced online course you can work around your life and ministry demands; there is no deadline to complete. You can come-and-go from the course as you need to. However, it's important to continue in the course as much as possible so to get the most out of it. PLEASE DO NOT RUSH THROUGH IT! The goal is to not only gain information, but develop an effective, practical, working plan for discipling the workers in your ministry or congregation.

The fee* for the course is $39.95 (NACM members can utilize a 20% discount, reducing the fee to $31.96). To obtain the code for the discount (to type in while registering for the course), send an email to: Rodger.Niemeier@nacministers.org - and the code will be emailed to you (that code can also be applied to any of the other NACM courses).

When you're ready to register for this course, click on JOIN above (if you've taken other NACM courses on this Pathwright NACM Educational Platform, you can use the same password for this course as you did for the others (chaplaincy, SoulCare, or Essential Elements courses). If this is the first NACM course you're taking on this NACM educational platform, do create a password and click on, \"I DON'T HAVE AN ACCOUNT\" to create one. (This is NOT the same website as the NACM members' website - nacministers.org: so you cannot use the password for your NACM website for this course website).

There is one textbook required for the course: you'll learn about that in the INTRODUCTION UNIT to the course (see in \"PATH\"). You can obtain the book through Amazon.com, Walmart.com, and other book sellers. The book cost is not included in the fee for the course.

It's important to take the lessons of this course IN THEIR SEQUENCE: skipping lessons or parts of a lesson and jumping ahead can cause the course to prevent you from moving forward in it. The lessons purposely build one upon the other, so please work through them in their presented order.

When you complete the course, in the Completion Unit, you'll be instructed on how you can obtain the Certificate of Completion for the course through the NACM Spirit Shop (a code will be required to obtain the certificate). There is a reasonable fee for printing, packaging and mailing the Certificate to you (you'll see that in the Spirit Shop before you place your order). It is not required that you obtain the Certificate; it is optional.

Are you ready to effectively develop transformational disciples to impact this world through their jobs and careers!? This course will equip you thoroughly to do it!

* Course fees go to the course instructors, not the NACM (do not qualify as donations).

Dr Larry Peabody, DMin (Bakke Graduate University; and Bakke Graduate Univ professor) teaches from a unique perspective on \"work\" (one's job or career). After years of working himself, it finally hit him: no one had ever explained to him why getting up and going to work mattered to God! Sure, like most people, Larry worked to pay the bills; but there had to be more than that to justify spending 100,000 prime-time hours or so at work over a lifetime.

In his late twenties, Larry began searching Scripture for what God has revealed about the activity that today occupies nearly 3.5 billion people around the globe. This led, in his early thirties, to his first book on working, originally titled, SECULAR WORK IS FULL-TIME SERVICE. More recently the publisher renamed it, SERVING CHRIST IN THE WORKPLACE. Larry’s second book on work came out in 2010: JOB-SHADOWING DANIEL: WALKING THE TALK AT WORK.

His trajectory has taken him through a variety of work roles. As a teenager: asparagus cutter and sugar beet weeder. While in Wheaton College: middle school janitor and McDonald’s employee. After college graduation: information officer for government agencies, business writing consultant, church planter, senior pastor, and graduate school theology-of-work professor.

And now, in his most recent book, Larry explains what he has discovered over a lifetime about God’s answer to the “Why work?” question. GOD LOVES YOUR WORK: DISCOVER WHY HE SENDS YOU TO DO WHAT YOU DO - your textbook for the EQUIPPING WORKPLACE-READY DISCIPLES course. Larry's desire is to help pastors and church leaders utilize an effective discipling program that will equip those they minister to, to see their work as God's calling to effectively advance the Kingdom of God through their workplace.

Larry and his wife, Sharon, reside in Lacey, Washington. They have three children and 10 grandchildren.
