In business, we can find ourselves questioning how much of our faith we should show to others. While we're called to share the Good News we also need to be practical in our approach. But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need yet closes his heart against them, how does God's love abide in him? Little children let us not love in word or talk, but in deed and in...

In life and in business there will always be ups and downs, the key to success is learning how to navigate both.

And the day of prosperity be joyful and in the day of adversity consider God has made the one as well as the other. So th...

In our industry and even in the world we are surrounded by prideful self-promotion. In fact, we are often told that this is the only way to have success in our business. How can we stay humble if we have to be the best, have the most, and out-do everyone else around us? "Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another. F...

In business, we are constantly surrounded by people: associates, employees, vendors, clients, and advisors who all have access to us. As faithful agents we want to be conscious of who is given close access and allowed into our inner circle of influence. Today, Tyler and I dig into the concept of “who’s your who” from a Christian perspective. Blessed is the man who walks not in the council of the w...

In business, we have to balance people and profits whether it’s our colleagues, our employees, or the clients we serve. Often, there’s not one “right” answer so today, we did a deep dive with one of our favorite guests, Cody Persinger, into how the faithful make complex decisions.  It shall not be so among you, but whoever would be great among you must be your servant and whoever would be first am...

Many believers struggle to set goals that are both in alignment with what the Bible calls us to do and what we hope to achieve. We can find ourselves running toward goals that aren’t centered in Christ. So, how do we keep God as the focus in our goal setting?  Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you...

Do you ever think about how you use your time, how you shape your calendar? As we grow our businesses we naturally have more demands on our time.

For business owners we always want to make decisions that will allow us to stay on course but often we jump in and start without really knowing what our course even is. As believers there are considerations that will help us along our way and we unpack those today.  “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up on...

How can we give faithfully whether we're wildly successful or have yet to "make it"?

Today we unpack the concept of being a cheerful giver no matter where we are in our business journey. "Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever...

In business, we often don’t stop to take the time to ask ourselves how can we be faithful? And, even more often we don’t sit quietly and seek the answer.  “One who is faithful in a very little is faithful in much and one who is dishonest in very little is also dishonest in much. If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have n...

Becoming known for something will take us much further and we can stand out of the...
