The Great Use of a Life: How to Leverage Your Life for the Mission of God

This week, the blog is sponsored by Namb. What if your ordinary days held extraordinary potential? Leverage Your Life is a 6-week study designed to help you discover how God can use your gifts, work, and daily choices for His glory, right where you are.

Deep down, we all long for our lives to matter—for our work, relationships, and efforts to contribute to something bigger than ourselves. But how can we live in a way that extends beyond our brief time on earth?

The Leverage Your Life study is built on this foundational truth: The mission of God is not something we do for Jesus; the mission is who Jesus is as He lives His life through us.

This free, 6-week study from Send Network will challenge you to see your daily life, including your job, skills, and passions, as part of God’s mission. Through biblical teaching, group discussion, and personal devotion, you’ll be equipped to leverage your life for the glory of God.

Living for What Lasts

The early church was launched with extraordinary impact. In one sermon, 3,000 people were saved (Acts 2:41). Within months, there were 100,000 Christians living on mission in Jerusalem. These were ordinary people—fishermen, tentmakers, business owners—who turned the world upside down simply by following Jesus.

What made them so effective?

  • They lived for the glory of God, not themselves (1 Cor. 10:31)
  • They prioritized sharing the gospel in their daily lives (Acts 20:24)
  • They learned from Jesus and imitated His example (John 20:21)

The same is true today: God is still using ordinary people to do extraordinary things. The question is, are we willing to let Him use us?

What’s included:

  • A downloadable study book with group discussions, devotions, and leader helps
  • Teaching videos from Vance Pitman
  • Sermon prompts to deepen church-wide engagement
  • Promotional materials to invite others into the study

All digital resources are free to download—including the study book and videos. Printed study books are available for just $7.50 each, or $5 each for orders of 10 or more.

Start Leveraging Your Life

  • What if your job wasn’t just a paycheck but a platform for gospel influence?
  • What if your skills weren’t just for career growth but for kingdom growth?
  • What if your passions weren’t just for personal fulfillment but for God’s mission?

This study will help you connect the dots between faith and everyday life, equipping you to live on mission right where you are.

    I Regret to Inform You That Heaven Tourism Is Back

    I regret to inform you, dear reader, that heaven tourism is back. The genre possibly never went away entirely, but it did at least disappear from the bestseller lists for several years. Sadly, it has returned in Gabe Poirot’s 18 Days in Heaven.

    A Daring Suggestion for Netflix

    Netflix appears to have fallen on hard times and I have some suggestions that I’d like to think would help it: cut the sex, nudity, and profanity, and gain back the viewers it’s long been alienating.
