What was Solomon's smartest decision?
Solomon was a smart guy. He built Jerusalem’s first temple. He wrote three books of the Bible (this one, this one, and this one). He was also the wisest and wealthiest (estimates say up to $2.1 trillion 😵) King in the Old Testament. Solomon, by all accounts, was a capable decision maker. He was a […]
How to Find The Fruit of The Spirit at Work
Do you speak Christianese? It’s a unique language; with a platitude for everything under the liturgical sun. In fact, there are so many of these triune-turns-of-phrase you might consider removing the hedge of protection around them, if the Lord led. But I digress. Regardless of whether you like to hedge your bets, or prefer to […]
The gift of leadership (and how to give it)
Leadership is a bit of a buzzword. The word has been branded, sanded and refined a million different ways so that anyone with enough energy can attribute an action, any action, to a leader-initiated one. Thought leaders. Servant leaders. Leaders of men. If you don’t feel particularly competent in one type of leadership, no problem; […]
A Leadership Principle From King Jehoshaphat
Kings and careers and leaders and jobs are all appointed. Every role at work is a gift from God as well. Which means, when a situation at work arises that feels foreign, stressful, or threatening, we do not have to worry. There is a good outcome waiting for us. There is an invitation to experience […]
Nonnegotiable ~ The 4 Daily Principles Every Man Needs To Be Successful
Integrity is a target. Our principles, the arrows. Integrity tends to be one of those things we think about after we’ve done something wrong. The absence of air. We know we need it. And we know great leaders have it. But for most of us, integrity is in the ether. In Church, we’ve limited it […]
Christian Masculinity and David's Mighty Men
Masculinity is the possession of qualities traditionally associated with men. Which begs the question, what qualities should a Christian man consider? I remember the first time I read about David’s mighty men. One killed a lion with his bare hands; in a pit, in the snow. Another killed a giant. Another killed 800 men with […]
How to find purpose and fulfillment in your job
Jobs can be draining. I’m sure that’s no surprise to you. They take up a third of our day (if not more) and require our constant effort to keep. No doubt, if you’re reading this, you are grateful for your work, but perhaps you never saw yourself working the grind you have. Or at least, […]
Yanny or Laurel - A *secret* leadership principle
Like many of you, I’d rest my laurels on “yanny” not being the word said in the latest video craze. But some people would disagree. They’d disagree with me three times, in fact. Which is odd because we both heard the same message – and came to widely different conclusions. Case and point: Teams do […]
The difference between a Manager and Leader (Christian Version)
Managers ask “What is measurable?” Leaders ask “What is meaningful?” Christ is asking both. I’m not a big fan of titles. Or anything you can hide behind, for that matter. Which brings me to a conversation I had about the difference between management and leadership. I have a friend who is a great manager. […]
