Connected With Nicole: Mobilizing A Generation To Live Out the Great Commission
For Nicole Vallance, faith was never intended to remain within the walls of a church.
After more than two decades in ministry, Nicole has become increasingly convinced that one of Christianity’s greatest opportunities is not simply attracting more people to Sunday services, but helping believers understand the significance of what happens when they walk back into their workplaces, businesses, schools, neighborhoods, and communities on Monday morning.
That conviction is at the center of her new devotional featured on the Bible App, a project designed to challenge Christians to recognize that ministry is not reserved for pastors, priests, or prominent faith leaders. Instead, Vallance believes every Christian has been called to participate in the Great Commission.
“I believe now, more than ever, it is time for Christians around the world to realize that there is no separation between the sacred and the secular,” Nicole says. “Ministry is not just for pastors and priests. Every Christian is called, anointed, and commissioned to live a life on mission.”
It is a message that has already begun crossing borders. According to Nicole, the devotional received subscriptions across 52 countries, signaling what she sees as a growing desire among Christians not only to deepen their knowledge of God, but to better understand what He has called them to do.
Nicole’s message extends beyond the devotional itself. It is also central to her three-volume book series, The Mobilized Christian™: A Blueprint for the Great Co-Rescue Mission, which explores practical ways believers can integrate faith and purpose into everyday life.
At the heart of both projects is a straightforward idea: Christians have not only been saved. They have been sent.
For Nicole, that distinction has enormous implications.
She believes another Great Awakening is possible, but argues that its reach will not depend exclusively on well-known pastors, evangelists, or Christian influencers. Instead, its momentum may come through millions of ordinary believers recognizing the influence already available to them.
“You don’t need a title to tell someone about Jesus. You don’t need a microphone. You don’t need a platform,” she says. “You don’t need someone’s permission to fulfill the Great Commission. Jesus has already given you that commission.”
That philosophy transforms seemingly ordinary environments into opportunities for purpose. A workplace becomes a mission field. A business meeting becomes an opportunity to represent Christ. A conversation at the gym, grocery store, coffee shop, or neighborhood gathering can become more meaningful when approached with intentionality.
The objective is not simply evangelism as an occasional activity. Nicole wants Christians to begin viewing mission as a way of life.
Publishing through the Bible App gives Vallance’s message the potential to reach people across cultures, generations, and different stages of their faith journeys.
Yet despite that global reach, her message remains deeply personal.
“It doesn’t matter where you came from. It doesn’t matter how old or young you are. It doesn’t matter whether you became a Christian yesterday or you have walked with the Lord for 40 years,” Nicole explains. “As long as there is one person in your life who doesn’t know Jesus Christ, God still has a mission for you.”
Her role as a pastor has shaped that perspective. Nicole sees leadership not merely as preaching to people, but educating, inspiring, training, equipping, and empowering them to reach others.
She compares the concept to basketball: if someone does not recognize that they are capable of taking the shot, they may never attempt it. In the same way, she believes Christians who do not understand that they are called and commissioned may never step forward to share their faith.
“The saints are going to reach the world,” Nicole says. “Everyday Christians are going to change the world.”
Living intentionally, however, requires learning how to recognize purpose amid the constant demands of modern life.
One passage Nicole returns to is Proverbs 3:5–6, with its instruction to trust God rather than relying solely on personal understanding and to allow Him to direct one’s path.
She points to the life of Jesus as an example of remaining spiritually attentive despite constant demands. Crowds surrounded Him. People needed Him. His days were filled with interruptions. Yet some of those interruptions became defining encounters.
For Nicole, there is an important lesson within those stories.
“Sometimes what we call a distraction may actually be a divine appointment,” she says. “Sometimes the most important thing God wants us to do that day isn’t on our calendar. It is the person standing right in front of us.”
It is an especially relevant perspective in an era defined by packed schedules, digital notifications, social platforms, and constant competition for attention. Purpose, in Nicole’s view, sometimes requires enough spiritual awareness to recognize the significance of a moment that was never scheduled.
Writing the devotional has also caused Vallance to examine her own standards for influence.
She encourages Christians to begin each day by asking what they can do for God, who they can encourage, who they can pray for, and who they might help move closer to Christ. Nicole says she has even placed reminders on her phone to ensure that evangelism remains something she personally practices rather than merely teaches.
Her daily spiritual disciplines are intentionally uncomplicated: worship, Scripture, prayer, and looking for opportunities to serve others.
That approach has also changed the way she views social media metrics and public visibility.
“I have become much less concerned with how many followers I have on TikTok or Instagram and much more concerned with how many followers I am making for Jesus,” Nicole says.
In a culture where influence is frequently measured through impressions, followers, engagement, and reach, it is a striking alternative definition of impact.
Perhaps the most ambitious idea behind Nicole’s devotional is that its success should ultimately be measured by what happens after people finish reading it.
“For me, this devotional is putting a stake in the ground,” she says.
Nicole believes churches have traditionally become highly effective at measuring attendance. They know how many people attend a service or event. But she proposes another measurement worth considering: How many of those people leave equipped to share their faith, make disciples, and develop other leaders?
“We need to start asking how many saints we are sending out on Monday,” she says.
That shift could have implications well beyond traditional ministry.
Imagine Christian entrepreneurs who view their companies as opportunities to serve people. Executives who recognize a responsibility to represent their faith in boardrooms. Parents who intentionally disciple their children. Teachers who understand the influence they carry. Believers who enter everyday environments aware that their faith does not disappear when they leave church.
For Nicole, that is where the larger movement begins.
She wants to see a renewed passion for evangelism emerge not exclusively from pulpits, but through ordinary Christians living intentionally within the environments where they already have influence.
The Bible App devotional may provide a global platform for that message, but Nicole’s vision ultimately comes down to something remarkably individual: one believer recognizing the significance of his or her assignment, and then helping another person do the same.
“The goal isn’t simply another Bible reading plan,” Nicole says. “The goal is a mobilized Christian—saved, set free, and sent out.”
