About

Lead Your Congregation to Connect Sunday Worship to Monday Work
Work matters to God. Does it matter to his church?
Many Christians experience vocational restlessness and anxiety, unsure or unaware how their faith can guide them in their workplaces. What would it look like for your church to affirm, equip, and commission your congregation to embrace a sense of calling and mission in their everyday labor?
In Pastoring for Monday, Matt Rusten helps you lead your church to form Christians who follow, represent, and commune with Christ amid their daily work. This book equips you to bridge the divide between the sacred and secular, transforming how your church disciples people for the workplace.
Rusten shows how you can intentionally change your language and liturgy to celebrate the ordinary working lives of church members, providing concrete discipleship pathways and pastoral priorities for living out the gospel through vocational discipleship. You'll learn how you can prioritize faith and work as a necessary focus, rather than an optional add-on, for the thriving and collective mission of your church.
With Pastoring for Monday, you will:

- Learn to connect Sunday worship with the realities of Monday work to equip people to follow Jesus through the work week.
- Find practical discipleship ideas to help believers live out their faith in professional contexts.
- Transform your preaching and leadership to help your congregation see the value of their daily vocation as a ministry.

This book empowers pastors to foster a church culture where every believer is equipped to follow Jesus not just on Sunday but through the workdays that follow. With Pastoring for Monday, help your congregation connect Sunday worship to Monday work and transform the way your ministry bridges faith and work.

    "I wish someone had told my mother, a nursing home aide for twenty-five years, that her work mattered to God. Though Christian culture now largely affirms the dignity of work, most churches still offer little practical guidance on integrating faith with daily jobs. Pastoring for Monday is the answer to this problem. A practical, actionable manual for church leaders, this book will help pastors competently shepherd every congregant-from the teacher and accountant to the nursing home aide-to live out their faith every day of the week."

    "Matt Rusten knows that genuine discipleship necessarily includes an intentional, consistent, practical focus on helping parishioners understand their work through the lens of faith. A veteran at this sort of equipping, he shows how to do it with excellence and specificity, providing numerous illustrations from Scripture and ordinary people's lives. Armed with Rusten's toolbelt of strategies and practices, clergy will learn how to effectively support and relevantly communicate with their members as they navigate many common work-related struggles."
    Amy L. Sherman, author of Kingdom Calling and Agents of Flourishing
